MultiTagEditor works great to select all of the projects I want to change realm of, as I name all of my projects with a kind of area prefix. So, I can quickly (compared to any other method) delete one realm's tag from a set of project tiddlers and add a different realm tag to the same set of proje

The MultiTagEditor plugin can be useful for making "bulk" changes to tags: http://ido-xp.tiddlyspot.com/#MultiTagEditorPlugin You can enter multiple tags in the search field and then add or remove tags to the relevant tiddlers, using checkboxes. For example, you can find all tiddlers tagged: Acti

Someone else mentioned that to me a while ago, but I couldn't find any information at all about how to use it. Nor could I find out if it was any more sophisticated than simply replacing the tags of all tiddlers with tag X to tag Y (which search and replace would do for me in no time). Damian On

Hmm, 20 min seems very optimistic to me and I'd be concerned about loosing concentration and messing up. It may come to that though as no one else seems to have this same problem so there's no incentive to find a better solution. Damian On Jun 6, 3:31 pm, jdunham wrote: > I'd bet this is your

Definitely a good tip. I was a committed D3 user and converted my entire file over to mGTD. That's why my realms are in the state they are. I add my new entries using the correct realms, but the older ones obviously all have the default realm. Damian On Jun 5, 2:47 pm, Simon Baird wrote: > Pro

I'd bet this is your best solution. Any decent text editor will let you do Global find/replace with a "find next" feature where you can decide whether or not to make each specific replacement. Since you will be able to see the nearby tags, it should be pretty easy to decide. Do the whole file on

But seriously, I think there is a plugin on TiddlyTools.com for bulk tag operations. It might be able to help with your predicament. On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 11:47 PM, Simon Baird wrote: > Pro tip: decide what your realms are before you add 2000 actions and > projects. :) > > > On Fri, Jun 5, 2009

Manually checking every realm tag in a text editor and changing the ones I want to change would be ok if I had a dozen or so tiddlers, but I have hundreds of them. Maybe a couple of thousand. I don't see how I can make that a usable soloution. It would obviously be fine if I wanted to change all o

Well... If you can drive a decent text editor... and are a little bit careful about it... you could sort it out that way.. %s/SomeRealm/OtherRealm/g in vim for instance. (But actually don't do that way. You probably want to eyeball each replacement to make sure it's doing the right thing. The rea

Thanks for that Simon, The 'Realm Mismatch' is a useful tool, but I've got about 500 projects, all with 3 to 10 tiddlers. To split them into the realms I want them in with the way things are currently set up would take at least a day out of my life. Probably more. Realm mismatch or no Realm Misma

Hello all, I'm really wanting to use Realms more, but they are an uphill struggle at the moment. The first problem is having to manually set the realm of all ticklers within a project. Surely they should all copy the realm of the Project it's self (even if the project realm gets changed .. they
