Hi All: I hope this is not going to be an embarrassing question. But I did search the docs and groups/forums to no avail, so here goes...
I am trying to do a copy of a single tiddler from one local TW5 file to another. For example, an "action item" exists in a small "to-do list" TW5 wiki, but perhaps now I am wanting to file & cross reference it into a larger "research notes" TW5 wiki, and then delete it from the "action items" wiki (which I want to keep as small as possible). I see from the TW5 docs that a copy operation is done by a drag & drop of the source URL onto the destination browser window. So I generated a permalink for the tiddler in the "source window", and dragged it onto the destination window, which kicked off the import process. The result of this is import process yields a tiddler with a URI to the permalink. So it's (kind of) like a "copy-by-reference". What I seek is more of a a "copy-by-value". So then I tried the "import" tool via the tool tab. Which will work to do the copy by value. But... ...For a single tiddler, it's not very user friendly. To import the one tiddler from the source wiki took about 120 clicks, as I had to disable all the tiddlers that I did not want to copy over. That's a lot of clickity-clicking! I did not see any "select/deselect all", which could have made it take only 2 or 3 clicks. So, am I missing a key user interface? It there a simpler way to import (or copy by value) the content (versus the URI/URL) of a single tiddler? I can see one response being: "why not just cut/paste"? As I explore TW5, and think about moving tiddlers from one TW5 "notebook" to another, I also think it's important to try to preserve tagging states, and also custom field states, which a simple copy/paste operation seems insufficient to do. If it's missing functionality, perhaps a column header with the aforementioned "select/deselect all/none" functionality would suffice? Details: I am operating TW5 with Firefox 50.0.2 on Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) XFCE (and loving it, BTW).
