A slight correction to my previous email is in order. Patrick Chkoreff wrote:
But now here's where things get even easier. Let's say Alice wants to make another payment, this time paying 3.25 grams to Carol. Here's the process.
1. Type 3.25 in the Qty field.
2. Click "Carol" in the drop-down location menu.
3. Press Give.
Note that this time, Alice didn't even have to select the asset type, since she had already selected "grams loom gold" before.
But wait!, you may ask. That's too easy, and Alice might make a mistake. Let's say Alice entered 32.5 instead of 3.25. No problem. When Alice notices the mistake, she can just quickly press the Take button to take the assets right back. Then she can fix the number and press Give.
(Now if Bob somehow managed to be in his folder RIGHT AFTER Alice made her mistake, and he saw the 32.5 grams sitting there, and he did a Take to grab all those 32.5 grams before Alice had a chance to take them back herself, then there's a problem. But that's unlikely. And if it happens, then Alice should (1) chide herself for being so careless and (2) tell Bob to give the money back.)
Since this particular example involves Alice paying Carol, not Bob, I must amend that last paragraph to:
