Another wanted feature (also for TW classic): To somehow see if a tiddler contains text or not without having to open it. The need arises from the fact that tiddler names are both tiddlers and tags and often serve as mere headings/holders (eg in TreeView menu) which forces you to open it to check. I know some poeple add a * or some such to the name to indicate content but it is a too frequenct phenomenon to not have automatic. Here are some ideas:
* include info on this in the hover lable (is that the correct term?). Currently it shows tiddler name, tiddler subtitle and date, eg "TiddlyWiki - Jermolene, March 20. 2012, 13:40". It could instead be perhaps read: "TiddlyWiki [text] ... " and "TiddlyWiki [empty] ..." or some such. What is less good with this solution is that you must actively hover. Also, this hover info is different in various places (eg ShadowMenu. And plugins can create it's own info, as in the case of TreeView that merely sttes that it's a "link to.." ). * We have text formats to indicate differnt types, ie "*NonExistingLink"* "* ExistingLink*" and there is also "*ExistingLink*"* *(eg here<http://tiddlywiki.com/#Configuration>). I think it would be elegant to extend this latter variant to also indicate an existing link without text. This is probably the most elegant solution to this issue, IMO. (BTW, in Shadow tab, it is not clear why some are bold and some not bold?). * Another variant could be to refine the manually appended "+" that some people use into autmatically including, say ° at the end of empty tiddler links: *ExistingButNoContent*° - the aim is something that is invisible enough so that you only see it when looking for it. <:-) On Monday, May 13, 2013 11:27:35 AM UTC+2, Mat wrote: > > In addition to some previously expressed > thoughts<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/tiddlywiki/TW5$20Mat/tiddlywiki/0nmhoDZvIG0/wC0RsY87fbEJ>of > mine, here are a few more: > > * Avoid all dead links in empty file. > > * tag systemConfig ought to be renamed into something less scary and > informative, perhaps "plugin" or possibly "autostart".
