Re: [tw] Working with large, frequently edited texts

This might be something that works for you. I made it quickly as a way to
add and delete tags.
You can remove and add tags.

I add tags then filter them. you could add a tag to the ones you want to
keep then export them to a new copy of TW

[tw] Working with large, frequently edited texts

[elarucci]

 

Hello,

As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I’m using TiddlyWiki for a series of 
novels and companion wiki.  I managed to work out most of the issues with 
TextSlicer, but ran into a few issues when cleaning up after the slicing.  I 
discovered that, if a sliced document is edited, it doesn’t automatically 
update the original tiddlers, which means I either need to edit them 
individually or re-slice the text.  I'm worried about the eventual file 
bloat (and possible tiddler chaos) that would occur from re-slicing over 
and over without removing the previous sliced tiddlers.  

   - Any way to mass delete a bunch of tiddlers at once? (Removing old 
   narrative tiddlers one-by-one was time consuming and tedious)

 

   - According to Text Slicer instructions, the tiddlers generated by the 
   slicing have automatically created titles that can be changed manually. 
   Hundreds of tiddlers were created from the first six chapters alone - there 
   are a couple hundred chapters left to do...do I have to rename and 
   individually tag *every single tiddler* or is there a way to mass tag a 
   lot of tiddlers at once (i.e. mass tag all "heading 2" tiddlers as 
   "scene")?  
   


At this point, I’m thinking perhaps TextSlicer is better for text that does 
not undergo much editing (unlike my novels)? Would it be more efficient to 
manually create “scene” tiddlers and work with much smaller chunks of text 
rather than importing entire books?  

 

Thank you in advance for your help!
