Feature Request: E-mail Documents (or Flashcards) Directly

I am not sure if this has been requested before, but it's a feature I feel crucial to make Pleco more streamlined and competitive with other iOS dictionaries.

I would like to be able to e-mail myself any or all of my files and/or flashcards (in a list) from my iPhone's Pleco. Other Chinese dictionaries on the iOS have this feature (see Qingwen). Qingwen has made it very easy to look up characters I haven't seen or heard in class and e-mail myself the list for study later. Having to go through all the windows under Flashcards to get to upload/download files and then pairing my PC by Bluetooth or IP address is just far too tedious.

I'd be interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

Already doable through the File Manager screen (Settings / File Manager, or Flashcards / Export Cards / File Manager); tap on the "Edit" button, select a file, then tap on "Email."

Oh, I see, one does edit, selects a file, and then can choose Email which shows up as a faint, easy-to-miss button at the bottom of the screen. That worked!

Yeah, iOS 7/8 doesn't have a really good solution to the 'disabled button' problem design-wise; once you tap on an item to select it Email becomes much more visible.
