[tw5] Re: What is Red "Draft of" button at lower left on page load?

2022-10-27 Thread Eric Shulman
If you are editing a tiddler and that tiddler is removed from the 
StoryRiver without ending the active edit, you get a "red button" for that 
tiddler.  Clicking the red button re-displays the tiddler editor in the 
StoryRiver so you can continue editing.

Here's an example of how to produce this effect:

On https://TiddlyWiki.com, press "+" in the sidebar to begin editing "New 
Tiddler". Then, from the sidebar "open" tab (where all tiddlers currently 
displayed in the StoryRiver are listed), click on the "X" next to "Draft of 
'New Tiddler'" to remove that tiddler from the StoryRiver without ending 
the active edit.  A red button will appear in the lower-left of the page.

Notes:
* You can actually have multiple red buttons, one for each tiddler that is 
still in edit mode but is not currently shown in the StoryRiver.
* If you save the file with a red button displayed, the red button 
condition will be saved as well.  Re-opening your TiddlyWiki will continue 
to show the red button until you click on it and properly end the editing 
by pressing the done (checkmark) button in the tiddler editor.

That info should prevent data loss of tiddlers stored in "Draft mode" and 
opened a second time for editing, while the "old" edit isn't saved yet. ... 
So if you save a wiki with a tiddler in edit-mode and close the 
edit-template from the story river it will show up as this "reminder tab". 

There have been some users which left 10 and more tiddlers in edit mode and 
forgot about them. If the wiki was opened eg: 10 days later, they wondered, 
where the new data has been gone, because they opened the "old tiddler" and 
forgot about the draft.

hope that makes it clear
