How to Coda the distribution of files
Using a button to distribute files over rows
I was preparing a file for my accountant and referencing the invoices. I had them all as PDF on my computer and wanted to show the files in a table. But dragging them one by one into a table felt wrong.
What I did is what you see below.
I created a helper table and in one cell I dropped all the files.
The next thing I did was pressing the button and it worked very fast. The button created new rows and in every row there was one single file as you see below. This is elegant and easy.
