Is it reasonable to call something *deprecated* if it hasn't been announced as such by the author? That's the best term I can think of, though it is a little bit on the technical side. My concerns with the other suggestions: - "Obsolete" sounds like it is no longer necessary, it has been

Hi Florian, I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're asking for – when you say you want to be able to "create custom tiddler templates defined by custom fields," do you mean you want TiddlyWiki templates to appear on tiddlers depending on the contents of a field? Or that you want an easier

Can't speak for how Diego imagined it, but this kind of custom autocomplete is a really interesting idea. I would imagine that beginning an autocomplete run with a custom prefix would run an arbitrary filter and provide (much like the command palette in VSCode et al.) the results of the filter

Kate, I don't think there's a way to change the open/save path of an existing file in TiddlyDesktop, but after moving the file on your hard drive, if you click "remove", then "add wiki file" in TiddlyDesktop, you can reselect the file in its new location. This won't affect your data at all

You could add a field on the language tiddler called, e.g., *language_name* containing *english* or whatever the part after *language_* would be in your person tiddlers, then something like: <$list filter="[all[current]fields[]prefix[language_]removeprefix[language_]]" variable="lang">
