Hello,
I am currently working on my master thesis and organize myself via TW5. TW5 is truly a great program and it really supports my workflow, however I have a little problem. *My problem:* Structuring new thoughts is always a difficult process and consequently, I often rename the titles of the tiddlers, because I feel that a title became inappropriate or contains an error. This usually breaks all my links that reference the topic with the changed title. Never changing a title after it has been introduced is not a suitable solution for me. Masking the referencing links as in [[masked title|orignal title] doesn't help, as it is cumbersome and does not solve the problem of the wrong original title. Another bad solution (wikipedia-style): Creating a new tiddler with the corrected title that transcludes the tiddler with the old title and link to the new tiddler from now on. *My solution so far:* My solution to the problem would be to create tiddlers with a unique ID field which can be referenced via [[ id ]] and translates to the title of the tiddler. the id is never changed and serves as a proxy (as in SQL automatically generated primary keys). For now, I create an ID-field with a custom newtiddler button that generates a unique key via Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9); and I reference a tiddler with this id via the following "link" <$list filter=[field:id[qqu99yie1]!has[draft.of]] /> As this link code is hard to write everytime I want a reference, I added a link-info-button into each tiddlers heading, that produces the link-code when I click it. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TTIl-wy39vw/U4s4s9PwVPI/AAAAAAAAAAo/m22BXPT1Q_I/s1600/Selection_144.png> Now everytime a change to the tiddler's title occurs, I don't have to modify any references. *My question:* Could a mechanism like this be integrated into TW5? This means: 1) adding a unique id automatically to each new tiddler. 2) linking to an article via [[ id ]] which translates into its title. Or has this issue been solved otherwise? Maybe I am missing something... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
