Eurekas! The sea of nodes, half clones more

2012-03-02 Thread Edward K. Ream
Yesterday morning, and again last night, the solutions to several long- standing questions became apparent. The solutions are simple and unforgettable. The train of thought that lead to the Ahas has something to do with a chance remark made by somebody recently, I don't know who or in what

Aha: tag files and multi-dimensional trees

2012-03-02 Thread Edward K. Ream
This may have more practical significance than today's Eurekas. Or not. A frequently requested feature is the ability to put @ignore trees in @file trees. In the past, I have always responded that this is not possible: each external file must contain all information in the files @file tree.

This got me quite excited, because half way in I realized (my understanding of) this ties in very closely to an aha experience I had using TiddlyWiki's TagglyTagging - I'll try not to dwell on specific implementation details, just wanted to set a context on which to hang these somewhat abstract

I was thinking that this might have an application to a recent request of mine to add the ability of interposing test nodes, (that end up in a test file), with code that ends up in a code file. Rather than expanding the @file directive to take two file arguments, have two separate @file

I guess the executive summary is that this is akin to googling over your leo document. I also have some preliminary plans to add full text search, so you could search foo bar baz, and it would score the nodes along the lines of how good the hit is (where words can appear anywhere in a node). On

Yes, contextmenu has the functionality that polls the files for changes. I don't see this as a problem - contextmenu can just be considered mandatory dependency. Is there a sane reason why someone would not be using the plugin? On Mar 3, 2012 1:16 AM, Edward K. Ream edream...@gmail.com wrote:
