The mobile app is superb in RELOCATE functionality. When you call up a specific wine (Wine Details) there is a RELOCATE button next to each Location/Bin line for that wine. Similarly, in a View All Bottles list there is a RELOCATE button for each bottle. Excellent.

The browser (web) presents a RELOCATE button only on the List screen when one or more rows are selected (for Edit), but only when the List is invoked from the top level menu (e.g., "My Cellar") or Search bar. That is useful. But when you invoke an Edit list from an individual wine details (e.g., "Edit my # Bottles"), the RELOCATE button does not appear on the Edit screen when you tick check boxes. This inconsistency is a major pet peeve. Please put RELOCATE buttons on the Individual Wine Details page (similar to the mobile app) and also have the RELOCATE button pop up when wines or bottles are selected (via check box) on ANY edit screen.

People have requested this as far back as 2015. Thanks.

On the individual wine page, just click VIEW/EDIT ALL # BOTTLES on the right. Pick some or all of the bottles and edit on that subscreen. All of the same functionality is there.

Eric, the function of Relocating can indeed be accomplished on that Edit screen, but it is a more rigorous screen as you know. The purchase info fields are rarely touched after a wine is stocked, so I'd rather not see them when all I want to do is a Relocate. The Relocate pop-up dialog is straight-forward; with drop-down boxes for just the Location and Bin fields. It makes sense: those two fields are probably "edited" more than any others, followed closely by Drink Window and Valuation. The function is intuitive, simple, and welcome. Simple is better.

I understand why the My Wines window (from top level menu) and the "Edit Wine" windows behave differently -- after all, the first presents a list of wines and the second presents a list of bottles (which can even include Consumed bottles). Nonetheless, it feels missing that there is no RELOCATE button next to each row on the bottles list. When selecting one or more bottles on that list, one expects to see a familiar pop-up menu (consistent interface). If it were there, I'd like it to include a RELOCATE button.

And make no mistake, we do love and appreciate Cellar Tracker! Cheers! And Happy Holidays!
