Two open EPim databases with drag-drop between the two
Make it possible to open two different EssentialPim databases (or two concurrent copies of EssentialPim running) and drag-drop items between the two.
Some explanation:
I use Notes heavily---I don't use scraps of paper any more, I collect all information in Notes.
Accordingly, my Notes contain a mountain of stuff, from jokes through banking data to Internet snippets and whole articles. LOTS of things.
I wouldn't want to lose them.
However, it is out of the question to sync all this to my phone, it's too much.
So I thought I'd create a slimmed-down version of my notes and sync that to my phone.
The only way I could currently do that is to delete stuff from my Notes that I don't absolutely need on my phone, save the resulting database under another name, and sync it.
(Below, FULL refers to my complete database, and SLIM to the slimmed version.)
However, any subsequent changes to FULL and/or SLIM, and moving parts of them between the two, would be a hassle.
It would be so much easier if I could just open TWO databases side by side, drag/drop nodes between the two, and save them.
Then I could just open the SLIM database and sync it to the phone.
While the above discusses Notes, I can see a use for this feature in other parts of EssentialPim (Contacts, Calendar, etc.).
What do you think?

Hello,
good news is that it is possible! Well, not drag and drop, but copy-paste. Try to copy 1 Note or multiple and paste them into another database- this will work. Same goes for other elements.
