Hello ...
Right now I'm finding the user interface to Browse very difficult for sustained and productive editing of an imported list.
One problem in particular has caused helper editors to give up completely. I will outline it here, as I think it may be quite easy to hack a solution without a plugin.
When you are looking at the records for individual links in the right-hand frame, there is nothing to tell you which other categories it appears in.
It's a vital item of information -- I know it has to be pulled from another table, but editing is virtually impossible without it. In our project every link has at least two locations, and some may have four. Preparation for launching the project consists mainly of trawling through the list, and ensuring that every link is properly described and categorized. But we can't actually do it in Links SQL.
The reason we think there may be a simple solution is that in Database > Links > Modify Record, this information is displayed and can be edited (though not easily).
GT staff: can you help us out here please? All we need is to be able to see the list of categories somewhere on the 'Modify Link in ...' page.
