I haven't had a chance to test it live with multiple people using the wiki (which is where problems seem to arise) but "click to edit this value in a temp tiddler and save to the real tiddler" stuff I've made seems to work so far so theoretically I'm on the right track! On Friday, July 9,

Thanks, Tones. I will be interested to hear it when you are ready to make your plans public. I've been working on the "edit in a temp tiddler" thing and made some big ugly macros that do the job swimmingly. I should be able to get the app converted over to using temp tiddlers for editing, in

Ed, A long answer is there are ways to edit the current tiddler, even without a temp tiddler. I am building a solution which does this now, it involves a little gymnastics and is hard to explain with too many different aspects to it. I will eventually publish something. One handy way is to

This is all great info, and clearly what I need to do. I didn't realize that there was special behavior for $:/temp tiddlers with respect to saving. (The only mention I can find on tiddlywiki.com is in "Naming of System Tiddlers" which I thought was just about naming conventions, not names

uups forgot something, Clicking the [OK] button will work the other way around. Clone temp -> form and delete the temp. The edittext-widgets tiddler parameter will need to be a variable. ... depending on which tiddler is active atm. form or temp -m On Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at 8:06:28 AM UTC+2

Thanks, TW, PMario. What defines a temporary tiddler for these purposes? Being under $:/temp/ ? On Monday, July 5, 2021 at 9:23:48 PM UTC-4 PMario wrote: > Hi Ed, > You can create a form, that uses a temporary tiddler. Those tiddlers are > not synced. Once your values are written you can

Hi Ed, You can create a form, that uses a temporary tiddler. Those tiddlers are not synced. Once your values are written you can hit a button, that copies the temp values to the real values. --> done -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Ed, Great to hear your application. You should be able to design around this. Editing the current tiddler or others can cause 1. loss of focus (due to edit self) 2. Delays if the entry causes a refresh elsewhere (on screen), or even if displayed in the current tiddler. I expect you can
