Oracle decks with multiple backs

Post by purple_scorp »

Hi all.

Another Oracle issue that I thought I'd raise.

I have a deck that is divided into six suits (half of the cards are positive, half are negative). Each suit has a different back. The idea is that you divide the deck into their respective suits so that you can separate them for specific readings.

For example: Card 1 is drawn from combined Suits 1, 2 & 3. Card 2 is drawn from combined Suits 4 & 5, and Card 3 is drawn from Suit 6.

I know I've also seen Tarot spreads that call for you to divide the deck into Majors/Courts/Pips.

Is there a way that Orphalese could handle this?

Regards

Phew! You are coming up with some with tricky ones today :) Let me think about it.

In the meantime, you will be pleased to know I just added your Recently Used Decks list into the beta. I haven't uploaded it yet - probably will do later today. I will post when I do.

Hi Scorp (and anyone else who has their settings configured to get these messages)

I just uploaded the new beta which includes the extra navigation features you were after. I can see F11 option becoming a frequently used key - please keep the suggestions coming!

Hi Richard,

Recently Used Decks was not my suggestion - although it did solve my problem of deck identification. :-) My original suggestion was to have the deck name displayed when you waived the mouse over the pack.

Re: decks with multiple backs - I can live with having the same back but I feel that being able to separate the deck into different sub-categories (eg. Majors, Minors, Courts etc for Tarot - and whatever for Oracle) would be a really beneficial function.

I've downloaded the latest beta - it looks very good. Will post things as I find them.
