Re: Quick way to select Realm!?

2009-04-04 Thread Daniel Baird

I think if you open up the Realm tiddler, edit it, and change the
tiddler title from the old realm name to a new realm name, you will
get a question Do you want to rename tag myOldRealmName in other
tiddlers? or something like that.  If you say yes to that, I think it
will rename the Realm the way you'd expect.

Of course, that is just renaming the Realm.  If you want to select 90%
of the things in a realm, and change the realm of just those, this
won't help.

 Of course anything *could* be done with enough time and effort, but it
 doesn't seem worth it.  For most users, the realms don't change much.
 For example, I have 'work' and 'personal' and a couple others, but for
 any tiddler, the realm never changes, or I change it just once if I
 created the tiddler in the wrong realm. It would be a waste of screen
 space to have an easy way to change the realms of each item in a view.

 If you are using realms for some other purpose, you might describe it
 and we could try to suggest an alternative way to use mGTD.

 2) Is there a way to change the realms of many items at once?
 I don't think there's an easy way within tiddlywiki.  In your
 situation, I would try to modify the html file directly (make a backup
 first, of course!).
 For example, Notepad++ lets you search on regular expressions.
 (warning, regexps are very powerful but bewildering if you are not
 familiar with them).
 Using Notepad++, if you do a regexp search for
   ^(div.+tags=[^]*Project)([ ])
 and replace it with
   \1 MyRealm\2
 you can assign every project to MyRealm. Or else you could use Find
 rather than Replace, and paste in a tag manually where needed.

 Hiya,

 Is there any way of doing this? I'd love a screen like the 'Project
 Dashboard' where all the projects are listed. Then, instead of
 toggling buttons between 'a' (for active) and 's/m' (for Someday/
 Maybe) you can click each project into a different realm. These
 'toggle buttons' wouldn't have to be named the same as the realms if
 that took up too much room. There could just be numbers. 1 to 3 or 1
 to 6 depending on how many realms you have. Also, clicking a project
 into a different realm would ideally change the realm of all of the
 projects tiddlers too (this could be a selectable option if some uses
 like actions in different realms to projects).

 Is this doable? Or is there a better solution? I want to use my realms
 more, but have hundreds of projects (and all of their sub actions), so
 it's just un-usable for me at the moment.

 Cheers
 Damian
