File rearranging in Book Mode

Open eldelacajita opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

This is just an idea for the "Book Mode" exploration you guys are doing (which sounds awesome):

One of the problems of working with several numbered files (either from a template or created by you) is changing the order and then re-numbering them.

It would be awesome if Marker allowed the user to re-arrange the files in the document list/sidebar, to change their order in the final combined document. The current order could be stored in the configuration makefile, and/or the program could automatically append new order numbers to the files when saving, like 01-Filename.md, 02-Filename.md so that they keep the right order even when seen outside Marker.

This would be an awesome addition over the mentioned templates, where (AFAIK) you have to rename the source files by yourself if you change their order... which at least I do a lot.

Yes I like this idea. I think the sidebar still needs a lot of polish, and I plan to work on that this summer.
