[bt-devel] An old feature request, finally remembered :)

[Steven P. Ulrick]

Hello, Everyone :)

Early last year, I made a feature request, and Joachim told me to submit
it again after Bibletime 1.3 was released.  Well, I finally took a few
moments and located the original e-mail, which I will quote portions of
below:

Here I must interject that I just looked for the above mentioned feature
(accelerator for copying entire chapter without selecting text first.)
and I did not find it.  That doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't
there.....

Exporting an entire book would be REAL handy.  Sometimes it would save
me time to just take out the chapters that I don't need.

I neglected to submit it as a feature request at the time that I sent
this e-mail originally.  For this, I am very sorry :)  I will submit it
to SourceForge as soon as I send this email.  Actually, I may break it
down into multiple feature requests, as it seems appropriate :)
