Reied, I just realised my comment on Short Text was not clear.All Tiddlers in My Wiki were showing Short Text, I am not questioning your use of short text but the need for it to appear in all tiddlers in the wiki. I keep editing or pasting into it in errors, when out side the board.
I will give feedback on your latest releases soon, thanks for your work.
