Exporting to mini-URD
 
Light user, please bear with me, and still using 3.5e because of upgrade cost!

I wanted to export some, but not all, items from my main URD to a mini-URD to put on a USB stick, so as to read it with the free reader. I couldn't see how to do it. Other export formats, yes, but not that one. Please, is there a way?

Make a copy of the main db, then delete the stuff you don't want from the copy.

Or, open a new empty db, drag drop the items you want from the main to the new. If any of the items you want are stored web pages the new db will attempt to verify the url, this can bog things down.

Probably the first choice unless anyone else has a suggestion.

I didn't know about the drag-and-drop method, so thanks for that. I thought of your first method myself, but rejected it because I'd have to delete the majority of the database to leave only a few items. Still, if that's the only way...

UR does not verify the URL of stored web page items when copying.

Thank you for the correction, I should not have posted such an assumption. I was posting from a remembered occassion where I tried to copy/move a large number (many dozens) of stored webpages and the process bogged down to a crawl (seemed to be taking longer than it should have at the time).

Currently, I just ran a test to copy/move a half-dozen webpages of diverse origin and the operation was pretty quick.

My apologies.
