Hi Walt, I am glad it solved the first problem.
Ad #2: You are right, permalinks created *earlier *are not affected by this solution. However, if you *now *rename the SolutionToProblemOfLinkRot tiddler to ProblemOfLinkRot and click the permalink button, then both #:[contains:permalink[*solutiontoproblemoflinkrot*-20210505114349833]] (old) and #:[contains:permalink[*problemoflinkrot*-20210505114349833]] (new) will work I think it will be very difficult to solve #2 in a general way that ensures that links already shared will keep working forever. It may be possible (but I don't know how) to make a solution to search in the permalink field if the tiddler couldn't be found (eg. /#ProblemOfLinkRot -> look for problemoflinkrot in the permalink fields -> list all potential hits). But if you later make a new tiddler called ProblemOfLinkRot, then the old link will give you the new one Best, Anders onsdag 5. mai 2021 kl. 21:01:01 UTC+2 skrev ludwa6: > Correction to my last: dunno what caused the phenom i reported as #1 > above, but i can no longer replicate that error; the new URL works fine. > However: problem #2 reported above persists -and so my question about a > potentially simpler solution to this two-headed problem stands. > > /walt > > On Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 7:38:32 PM UTC+1 ludwa6 wrote: > >> Your spec ticks all the boxes, Anders...
