Tony, Wow! Using the "Open In New Window" feature like that is great! I would never have thought to try that. I feel compelled to make a plugin for plain mini-story views so I can put two or three normal stories next to each other in their own windows.
Your comment about "place a list anywhere" sounds similar to what Jan suggested above with the sidebar. Can you describe more what you're thinking about with that? On the topic of importing tiddlers directly onto the board, that would be really nice to have but as I'm thinking about how it could be implemented I'm not sure how it could be done, perhaps you could point me in a direction. One of my goals in this project is to complete the core feature set with no original javascript, instead relying on TiddlyWiki's WikiText, Widgets, and Macros. I think this will make the plugin much more future proof and let it benefit from future development in the TW core. The BLC lists are currently implemented with the same $navigator and $list widgets that make the main story. The docs say navigator does handle import messages, but I don't know how to let the external link escape from the $droppable widgets that enclose the cards such that they could fall back to $dropzone widgets that could be put inside the list's story. I'm already interested in learning how to handle drag and drop data into the browser for another small idea of mine, but to accomplish both of these things I'm not sure if that would require me to override the dropzone.js widget <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/f59809e9a4bbb8d29aa5fc3b8a3850cd7bfd08c3/core/modules/widgets/dropzone.js>, or if it's handleDropEvent function can pick up custom import logic. Any guidance would be appreciated. The feature to selective hide and display columns with a single checkbox is already in the works, thanks for the suggestion to leave an area to drop cards into hidden lists, that will definitely be included. - Reid On Sunday, September 3, 2017 at 2:25:39 AM UTC-5, TonyM wrote: > > Post Script, > > I opened you demo using More > Open In New Window and it works well as a > way to separate the board from the tiddlyWiki "chrome" and Get a full > screen board.
