Junk Yard · Cards, notes and editing
Why does editing a scrap create a new one instead of changing it?
Short answer: On purpose: editing always saves a new scrap and leaves the original untouched, and the edit is copied to your clipboard. The new scrap keeps the original's colour, pin and timer.
On purpose, so you never lose what you started from. Editing a card always saves the result as a new scrap and leaves the original untouched — and the edited version is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.
The new scrap keeps the original's colour, pin and auto-clear timer. If you don't need the original any more, just delete it.
