[tw] Re: TiddlyFox seemed to stop working
I am having the same problem. All my wikis saved a few days ago. Now, after not using them for a couple of days, none save in the usual way - I have to save manually using the standard firefox method and overwrite the current file. Downloading the latest version of TW5, Firefox and Tiddlyfox then reloading Firefox makes no difference. I have no Tiddlyfox icon anywhere on my screen including the dropdown part of the toolbar, despite the fact that Firefox notified me that it had been downloaded. The add-ons manager confirms that Tiddlywiki for Firefox has been installed. I have even tried creating a new wiki (from the TW5 website) and when opened the usual Tiddlyfox dialog, giving me the option of using it, did not appear. Grateful for any advice.

[tw] Re: Link Sentence to other Tiddler
Surely finding the marked up text is possible - the regexp filter could do that. One option might be to modify this filter (or have a variant of the filter) so the output is the text string found rather than the title of the tiddler containing it. Or would this not be feasible ?

[tw] Re: Is there any method to check all tiddlers are listed in Table of Contents?
Hi Changoon Slight amendment to my previous reply - it assumed the ToC is headed by a tiddler called "Library". If Library is just a tag then you just have to replace every occurrence of [Library] in the suggested filter with tag[Library].

[tw] Re: Is there any method to check all tiddlers are listed in Table of Contents?
Hi I think Jed is right that there is no general method, but I find this works for me in practice (using your Library as the top tag). - the $list filter "[all[tiddlers]!prefix[$]] -[[Library]] -[[Library]tagging[]] -[[Libary]tagging[]tagging[]]" will list all the ordinary tiddlers not in the top two layers of the ToC - you then add extra terms to the filter if your ToC is deeper than this, each new term being created by adding an extra tagging[] (immediately before the last bracket) to the previous last term You don't have to know beforehand how deep your ToC is, you just examine the output of the filter and, for each tiddler listed, add it to the ToC if it has been omitted or add another term to the filter if the tiddler is in the ToC but the filter has not identified this.

[tw] Re: [TW5] Experimental stacked view
I think this would be a big improvement to what is already an excellent app. The main gain, for me, would be that orientation - where you are in the wiki, how you got there what is open - would be much more intuitive. I know that this information can be gleaned from the open and recent tabs but this would be much more direct helpful. Large wikis in general can make you feel rather lost among all the content. The second argument for this is that I think it would provide a much more familiar front end to Tiddlywiki for newcomers - a set of index cards is something anyone can recognise and understand. The sophistication of Tiddlywiki can be a bit daunting at first.

[tw] Re: What first attracted you to Tiddlywiki?
Hi Stephen I have accumulated a large volume of notes over the years covering all the subjects I have been interested in (including Open University courses I have taken). I have tried many different types of software to both store these and easily show cross-links between different subjects - all were flawed in some serious way. TW was the first software (which I only came on by chance just over a year ago) which does this. Early frustrations: the learning curve is quite steep, though it is very powerful once you get some competence in using it. Giving up ?: No, I almost immediately recognised that it was more suited to my needs than anything else available, so I stuck with it. Apart from answering your specific questions, I should say that I think your initiative is very useful. If I have a criticism of TW, I think it lacks a good understanding of its users and their needs. I am not in any way suggesting that it has to change - I simply think that greater information on user's needs would make the documentation more effective in appealing to new potential users. There are some very sophisticated uses of TW illustrated in the Community section of the website but they may all seem daunted by potential users. Maybe there should be more emphasis on a progression from simple use cases to the more complex.

The following code works if placed in a tiddler with a list field
containing the tags.
ul$list filter =[list[]] variable=mytaglimytag/liul$list
filter=[all[tiddlers]tagmytag]li{{!!title}}/li/$list/ul/$list/ul
The result is a list of tags and, for each tag, a list of the tiddlers
tagged with it. Obviously you can adapt this to print out other
information for the tagged tiddlers. Hope this helps.

[tw] Re: TW5: problem sorting by fields containing a macro
Hi Stephan
Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been having trouble with my emails.
To take your example of two lists, the outer sorted by 'stage' and the
inner by 'order' - my problem is that the value in 'stage' has been
transcluded from another tiddler. I have found that sorts by it don't
work and Jeremy has confirmed that this is unavoidable because filter
definitions are not wikified so it treats the transclusion code as literal
text.
A further complication is that the tiddler from which I transclude the
value in 'stage' varies - this depends on the value of another field of the
tiddler I am trying to sort.
The upshot is that I have had to use a rather different approach which now
works satisfactorily.
Thanks for your efforts in trying to find a solution
Regards
Howard

[tw] Re: TW5: problem sorting by fields containing a macro
Hi Jeremy
Thanks for your very prompt reply.
The transcluded values (and others created in a similar way) represent the
simplest way of representing orderings which I find very helpful for
several different listings of the actions stored in my wiki. There are,
however, other rather more complex ways of presenting my listings in a
helpful order. I just hoped that the simplest approach would be viable.
TW5 is excellent and I certainly would not argue for a change which would
compromise its efficiency on the scale you suggest - I recognise that you
have to strike a balance between flexibility and performance. Even with
this constraint, TW5 still represents by far the most effective way of
storing recovering data in the several databases I use.

fields concatenated contains one alphanumeric character, the area titles
are one upper case letter. I use the macro to carry out the
concatenation. When I transclude the macro field into any tiddler (not
just the tiddler it belongs to), I get the right result - the only problem
is using it to sort.
I only got as far as testing the approach, so have only put the macro
field into a few action tiddlers. I stripped down what I was doing to try
to find the root of the problem but even the following simple filter
('fullorder' is the macro field) gives a sort by title, though it does show
all the relevant tiddlers their macro field values:
$list
filter=[has[fullorder]sort[fullorder]]{{!!title}}-{{!!fullorder}}
/$list
The macro is also straightforward with its operational part consisting of
just:
exports.run = function( ) {
return $transclude tiddler={{!!areacode}} field='stage'/$transclude
field='order'/;};
I would appreciate advice on ways of achieving the result I want, either
by modifying my current approach or by a different route.

[tw] Re: Transclusions as macro parameters problem with TW5.12
Hi Danielo and Jeremy.
Thanks for your prompt replies - encouraged by these, I tried again and
succeeded.
The issue concerned a large set of action tiddlers, each of which has one
of a limited number of categories, each category having a note (tiddler).
There are practical reasons why it is more convenient to allocate the
categories to action tiddlers in a data dictionary. I then needed to
transclude the category and associated category note tiddler into each
action tiddler. I also created a template for the action tiddlers using
Stephan Hradek's global macro technique to generate transclusions for
category category note which depended on the action tiddler title.
I tried many times to get this to work yesterday, getting increasingly
convoluted as I searched for a solution, then deleted my attempts in
frustration. When I tried again from scratch this morning, it worked. I
can only assume that I made a fundamental mistake yesterday and could not
see it for looking.
I must say I am very impressed with the power of TW5, even if I sometimes
fail to get things right first time.

results in the widget or macro giving no result.
Is this one of the deliberate limitations mentioned in the documentation
on data tiddlers or am I missing something ?
I haven't tried this before upgrading to TW5.12 so I don't know if it is
specific to this version.
Grateful for any advice

[tw] TW5: quicker search on ios
The default search conducts searches letter by letter as the search term is entered. This is fine on my laptop but is painfully slow on my iPad, where entering each letter after the first has to wait until the search on the letters previously entered has been completed. So if the search term starts with s then the app first lists all tiddlers starting with s and only then can you enter the second letter etc. Is there any way of switching off this feature so the search only starts when the whole search term has been entered ?

[tw] Re: [TW5] Performance
Hi Jeremy Thanks for the reply. As I said performance on my Mac is fine. I was just puzzled by the differences between TWC and TW5 on my iPad.Your reply, covering the improvements you are working on, is encouraging.

On TWC (with the larger file) I have a tiddler field using forEachTiddler to list the tiddlers linking to the current one (and a modified ViewTemplate to show the results), yet tiddlers open almost instantaneously despite the fact that the database has to be searched to find and display the links.

[tw] Re: Questions after Importing [TW5]
I ran across this problem when testing the import of tiddlers from a large classic file into TW5. The solution that worked for me was to open the TW5 file in a text editor (I used TextWrangler which is free) and do a global replace of the string: type=text/x-tiddlywiki to the string: type=text/vnd.tidddlywiki - the whole strings in each case from 'type' to the closing inverted commas. No guarantees - and I would copy the file before trying this - but I have not found any problems with this technique. Howard M On Sunday, March 9, 2014 11:18:37 PM UTC, Mark S. wrote: After importing, the tiddlers are marked with the classic format, but they are not formatted with media-wiki. That is, the text of the tiddler is shown as the raw text and not the formatted text. ''Bold'' is not in bold, for instance but is just shown as ''Bold''. If I change the type to TiddlyWiki 5, then the formatting works, but the text is run together. Is there a way to make the lines work the way they worked before, so each line return results in one line return? Is there a way to change the type of all of the tiddlers to the new type without going through them one-by-one ?

Re: [tw] Saving with 5.08beta
Hi Jeremy Hi Jeremy I do use TWEdit. My question came from assessing whether to change to TW5 (once out of beta) on my iPad Mini.I have a large TW file (3.6mb) which is slow to save on the iPad (30 secs+) using TWC but using autosave on TW5 is quicker for a small number of changes (I am using a roughly converted version of the TWC file for tests). When asking the question I didn't realise that the short delay in closing amended TW5 tiddlers was due to the default autosave setting. When to save is an issue for me because, since the upgrade to iOS7, TWEdit from time to time reloads the file when I return to it, losing any unsaved changes - I don't think this is a TWEdit issue because it didn't do it on iOS6 and some other apps now do this, though their much smaller file sizes makes it unimportant. I must say that I am very impressed with TW5 so far, though the conversion cost is still an issue. Thanks for your helpful reply Regards Howard On Tuesday, March 4, 2014 9:46:06 PM UTC, Jeremy Ruston wrote: Hi Howard Autosave can be turned off in the control panel Saving tab.
