"orphans" are tiddlers that don't have any explicit *links* to them However, orphan tiddlers can still be *referenced* in other ways. For example, a plugin might be using a specially-named tiddler to store its configuration information. You can also have orphan tiddlers that are part of the TW system setup... such as customized PageTemplate, ViewTemplate, and EditTemplate definitions. While these tiddlers are used by the TW core, there do not have to be *any* explicit links to them in the document. Thus, they can appear to be orphans. All of this is to say that what appears to be "unneeded tiddlers" may, in fact, be vital to the operation of your TW document, so I wouldn't be so quick to remove them. You can, however, *HIDE* those tiddlers, so they won't be *listed* in the sidebar tabs display. To do this, simply add the tag, "excludeLists", to the tiddler(s) in question. To access this 'hidden' tiddler later on, go to the "Tags" tab in the sidebar, and click the entry for "excludeLists" to get a popup list of links to hidden tiddlers. For tiddlers that you DO want to remove from the document, you can individually edit and delete them, one at a time... or, you could use this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TiddlerTweakerPlugin which provides a compact form with a list of tiddler titles that allows you to select multiple tiddlers at once and then modify or delete them. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
