I certainly started in much the way Bruce describes. I had a number of short pieces of information which were general in nature. I created a ToDo item for each and made the Category , Information. I then had a filter option to show just the Information category items so that clicking on Apply Filter showed me that list. What I found though was that eventually I was collecting pieces of information that required files external to Legacy and this was when I started to build dummy repositories which were really just there to contain the URL pointer to the file, in their Homepage setting , hence giving me a way of referencing the file from within Legacy. So my use of Tiddlywiki is just a development of that process. The main aim is to keep Legacy as the control as it has the database of Individuals and Locations which I am researching so provides the ideal index to these research files. I did find that any research information I had on Locations could not be dealt with in the same way as the Master Location list does not contain anywhere like a Homepage to place the URL pointer. So the alternative I used was to create a URL file from a Bookmark , which can be edited with Notepad to change the URL as appropriate and the file renamed accordingly , remembering to keep the extension as .url. Then that file can be added to the Picture Gallery of a Master Location , entitled Research notes, and when double clicked or invoked with Play will call up the file with the appropriate research notes.
