To all, The third and final "feature preview" release is available! Version 0.1.3 contains all the features I'm planning on including in the version 1 release. This version should contain no bugs or unexpected behaviors. STILL WAIT to use it in a permanent installation, I'm tidying up internal naming and how I'm saving some of the temporary state associated with boards and I won't be providing an upgrade path from version 0 to version 1.
New features and significant changes include: - The "Search Filter" list. when a filter is typed into this control, a special list appears on the side which contains results from tiddlers in the wiki that are outside the board. This is very handy way to import tiddlers onto the board, or maybe even to pop up a temporary board just to quickly sort a bunch of tiddlers into tags, then delete the board if you don't need it. - "New Card" now generates titles using the shortid plugin, which makes a string of letters and numbers that is URL friendly and cryptographically guaranteed to be unique. The old way just used a timestamp, which is not good for sharing with others and redundant with the "created" field. - Improved "boardHeight" and "listWidth" controls, including the ability to snap to a number of lists visible that will change with the size of your window, and the ability to set the height to 100% to fit perfectly when using "Open in a New Window". - Board title shows up in the separated windows. - More powerful user filter for cards on the board. The user filter is now appended to the end of the filter that generates the content of each list, so you can type any number of runs which should always start with the "+" or "-" modifiers. - Tid download buttons were making bad files that couldn't be imported, they are now fixed. There will still be some cosmetic changes, such as a restyle to make a much more thin control banner, and I'll be posting a version 0.2.0 as a release candidate and asking for code review soon. I've been thinking about names, and right now I think I'm going to call the plugin "Dropboard". It's still a very utilitarian name, but I think that's ok because it will most often be seen next to "TiddlyWiki" and it won't compete for attention, while still being fairly descriptive about what it does. Thanks everybody! - Reid On Sunday, September 10, 2017 at 1:26:01 PM UTC-5, Reid Gould wrote: > > > To anyone still following, > > A new version is online at the same link > <https://reidgould.github.io/tiddlywiki-blc-plugin/> above! > I've worked out a number of critical bugs, you should no longer see cards > landing in places different from where they were dropped.
