Added more examples, but renamed the tiddler, because it's not a "Very 
quick tutorial" anymore, but a "Walk-through":
https://bimlas.gitlab.io/tw5-locator/#Walk-through

Did you think of such short examples? You think those who first see the 
plugin will understand it based on these (of course, once I've written all 
the features in the walk-through)?

I am thinking of deleting these descriptions because they are too talkative 
and take a long time to read and that is why they are avoided. What do you 
think?

That's fine. You are right. It should be added to release in master branch.

Do you think I should include changes to the documentation in changelog? 
Since the code is modified in the `dev` branch and the documentation is in 
the` master`, I do not know exactly how to organize the changelog so that 
it can be changed independently (actuallyr Git can merge the changes).

I've added more descriptions to the "Very quick tutorial".

ah I see you can choose templates in locator. I did not know. I have 
updated as you requested and removed tags from my "placeholder tiddlers". 
It should also work from your template menu now. I have added  a line about 
it in the doc.

This is to make the toggle work so you have the option to turn the counting

This is to make it possible to toggel the numbers on/off for different 
toc's. So one could turn it off in locator and on in clasic toc, or vice 
versa.

Detaild description.
 The checkbox for  "Enable counting of sub-tiddlers in Locator TOC" change 
the text field of "$:/plugins/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link" of your 
plugin. It takes the text of 
"$:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_count" 
where I have included the counting. When un-checking the field, the text in 
"$:/plugins/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link" is replaced with the 
original text that I store in the 
"$:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_org" 
tiddler 
("$:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_count" 
has ben overriddene).

HC Haase,

>

I'm glad you like it and thank you for paying attention when developing 
your own plugin.

What 
does $:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_org 
do? As I see, it only contains the link, not the counter. I think this can 
be deleted if it is not needed for your plugin to work.

In my opinion, change the caption of the 
$:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_count 
template template to "Link (with counter)", for example, because it is not 
clear how it differs from the original "Link" template.

The "Enable counting of sub-tiddlers in Locator TOC" option is superfluous 
because the counter will work without any configuration *if this template 
is selected for display in the Locator* - it's missing from the 
documentation.

I know this is far from perfect, but navigate in the seidebar to the

If you see, Tiddlywiki vanilla has little extra feature but it is quite

By the way, if you gonna to get a sense of it head over TiddlyTools by Eric

2020-02-14 Thread bimlas

I try to summarize the suggestions:

   - Write short, easy-to-understand examples where I do not explain in 
   detail how things work, but just show how the feature works basically. It's 
   even better and easier to understand if I make short videos instead of a 
   description.
   - The Family Tree of Ford illustrates the plugin better, I use it to 
   explain it.
   - Use less bold text in the tutorial :)
   - Find a more talkative name for the plugin (think "GraphicalListWidget" 
   or similar would be appropriate)
   - The sidebar can also be opened in the story river because of the 
   context item templates
   - Get more help with the user interface itself ("info buttons")
   - Refine the text color, "Filter by fields" is not always readable
   - Explain the mindmap features better

David Gifford,

For example, the arrow next to 'Table of contents' doesn't do anything when

The arrow next to context items "opens their context". By default (in the 
demo) the context of TableOfContents is open, so clicking on the arrow next 
to it will reopen its context, no change appears. How can this be 
clarified? Should the arrow not appear next to the last element of the 
history (ie, the one that is "opened")?

HC Haase,

the TOC counting l plugin adds a counter to the $:/core/macros/toc macro.

As I understand it, this plugin overwrites the ToC macro - the Locator does 
not use it at all, so overwriting it does not affect my plugin.

I'm afraid the core is very conservative. But it's laudable - if all the 
sudden ideas were put in, it could easily collapse in a few years. I can 
fully understand Jeremy doing so and appreciate him!

However, combining plugins is worth considering. Other open source projects 
have a lot of development collaboration, but I miss this (common coding) in 
TiddlyWiki.

Mohammad,

One minor comment: how can I filter tiddlers have responder as Mrxsal OR
> bimlas
>

Sorry, but I just noticed this message.

There is no "OR" connection and although I feel its lack, this would
complicate the interface: probably I would have to put a drop down menu
where we can select the type of connection ("AND", "OR"). It could be
solved by using Shift + click as an "OR" connection, but that wouldn't work
on the phone, so I'm not thinking about it.

In another thread once I said it's not a good idea to do a graphical filter
builder (although I did) because Locator is good for finding fixed values,
for example, but if I want to filter by date ranges, I have to add new
input fields (start and end dates). If I were to look for what I changed in
February of any year, it would require a different input field (month
selector). So basic filtering can be done graphically, but the more complex
the filtering we want to perform, the harder it will be to create the right
interface.

I am afraid that the plugin can only perform simple filtering, more complex
conditions can be added in AdvancedSearch.

One of the complexity comes from the concept. As a usual user, I work with 
tags and fields differently. I got used to tags to categorize things. 
Locator says there is no difference between tags and other fields, while 
this is correct, when I work with Locator I still stuck with what I learnt 
from vanilla TW.

The other comes from logic, the example of Henry Ford family tree makes 
logic a bit clear! NOTE that your plugin itself is not that ambiguous, this 
is the logic and understanding it makes locator difficult to use plugin!

I recommend to start with small simple examples. (You added already a quick 
start part) and each feature taught through several examples. For now I 
partially mastered how use Fields in TW-Scripts and I found it quite 
powerful.

 Yep, it works great! I love it
 Now this make TW linear, when one likes read a long text from table of 
contents like a novel with many chapters.

This is not crucial but may be interesting

   - you clicked on an entry, it gets highlighted in the TOC
   - then you clicked a link in the open tiddler which navigate to an item 
   it is again an entry in the TOC
   - do you think it worth TOC smartly scroll to that item?
   - please keep simplicity the first priority


Another small goodies

   - a button to expand all
   - a button to close all

[tw5] Re: Locator 2.0.0: Innovative table of contents and search plugin (any field as tags; visual filter builder; mindmap)

2020-02-13 Thread David Gifford

Hi bimlas

I added the Locator plugin to the TiddlyWiki toolmap, under "Navigation - 
Tables of contents and outliners" 
(https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM). It looks like someone 
else also added it under the category "searching tools". 

This looks like it could be really useful. Like everyone else, it is taking 
me some time to figure it out. For example, the arrow next to 'Table of 
contents' doesn't do anything when pressed. Nor do the two middle icons to 
the right of 'Filter by fields'. The rest of the confusion is that it is 
all new and I have only begun to read the documentation. 

At first I missed the link to the tutorial because it was right above the 
video surrouned by bold text. There is a LOT of bold text, which is 
"noisy". Maybe you could separate the link to the tutorial visually from 
the rest so it stands out.

I am not clear on what the following means: "This sidebar is hidden when 
the focus is on the search entry to increase responsiveness - see Locator 
view  for the code." 
What sidebar are you referring to? 

Anyway, those are not criticisms, but meant to help. I will need time to 
play with this for a while, so I am not yet ready to have a longer 
conversation about this.

2020-02-13 Thread HC Haase

Hi Bimlas
You have pushed your plugin in several threats and I finally got around to
look at it again. This is really great.

I am not sure why, but I still find it a little cryptic and I had to invest
some time to understand it. But I think it is a really powerful tool.
The video helps a lot. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

I think this is a big improvement from the last version. Great work. I like:

- The filter options. The old showing of tags took up a lot of space and
the new feature of sorting by any field you want, powerful!
- context setting/show links instead of tag - great way to see more
connections
- context settings/show fields/transclusion etc. this is also nice to
have the control in one place, but hard to use with a narrow sidebar (like
in the demopage)

problems

- colors. if you use a bit darker themes the text is hard to read some
palces ( see screenshot). if you (and every plugin) could choose colors
that follows the theme (like primary, links etc) instad of hardcoding the
colors, it would be great.
- maybe I did something wrong but I get a limitd search result in
locator. how come (see screenshot)?
- context settings/show fields/transclusion etc. is not that usefull if
you have a narrow sidebar. maybe you could make a button to pup out the
view in a tiddler in the story river or something
- you write you can use it to "*Create mindmaps". *That sound exiting
but I dont realy understand how. could you maybe give sime examples?

screenshot. see text and the limited search result

same search in normal search

This is much better and I think this could acts as starting point! Lets see 
other user feedback.

p.s: In overall starting use of locator has some barriers need users to 
elaborate more!
the concept is a little advanced!

bimlas,

to make TW-Scripts work with Locator the following change were made

   1. solution plugin updated to support responder field as title list
   2. all responder fileds were space separated with [[]] for titles with 
   spaces using Commander
   3. in Locator, the responder filed was set as a list field
   4. filtered searches in Locator were reset
   5. the new release pushed to https://github.com/kookma/TW-Scripts

Now it seems Locator Field works fine! a description is needed to teach how 
Locator should be used here in TW-Scripts.
It may also worth to create a TOC based structure in TW-Scripts!

Let's say you're looking for those tiddlers that have "example" but don't 
have "regexp-tutorial" tag ([tag[example]![regexp-tutorial]]): Find the 
"example" tag, filter for it with +, look for the "regexp-tutorial" tag, 
press X to exclude tiddlers having "regexp-tutorial".

[tw5] Re: Locator 2.0.0: Innovative table of contents and search plugin (any field as tags; visual filter builder; mindmap)

I think that's good. But I don't know how to clear active filters from the 
wiki on saving - should I use "temp" tiddlers instead of "state" (the 
"batch" tag is still active)?

I'd even like to change the "responder" field from a comma-separated list 
to a title list (and change the field settings accordingly), but this is 
not the job of the Locator, but rather of Tiddler Commander. ;)

Anyway, what do you think of the plugin?

That's right! it was fields were filtered by batch tags!
Look to the latest update and see if it works and adjustments are correct.

In the current online version, it looks like the list is already filtered

[tw5] Re: Locator 2.0.0: Innovative table of contents and search plugin (any field as tags; visual filter builder; mindmap)

I did the adjustment! Locator shows only 7 keywords

But if you create a tiddler in TW-Scripts with below contents

<$wikify name=keys text="""<$list 
filter="[all[tiddlers]each[keywords]get[keywords]]"><> 
""">
''Total keywords: <$count filter="[enlist]"/>''
<$list filter="[enlistsort[]]"><$text 
text=<>/>


You see there is  428 unique keywords!

What is wrong here?

Mohammad,

I pushed an update of TW-Scripts with Locator plugin!
>

> But I don't know how effectively one can use Locator with TW-Scripts.

Since TW-Scripts is not table of contents based, I would delete the
sidebar. There's no use in that case.

When filtering to a field value, the list of results is so small that it is
unnecessary to further narrow down with text search: You can also drop
Locator Search.

The only really usable interface is Locator Fields, which in its current
state is not fully usable. Now I see one thing missing from the tutorial:
setting up fields.

If you search for "tiddler" in Locator Fields and see what your Keywords
are, you will see that they are not treated as words, but interpreted as
one sentence. This is of little use because you cannot combine keywords in
filters. To interpret words separately, open Fields Settings with the gear
icon at the top of Locator Fields, select the "keywords" field, and set
"Field type" to "List". If you look at the results of "tiddler" again, you
can see that the keywords are listed separately, so you can combine
them. You can hide fields that you deem unnecessary for search (eg "type",
"color") by setting "Show in fields filter".

But I don't know how effectively one can use Locator with TW-Scripts.

Have a look and let me know if any adjustment or change needed.

My feeling is that what I created is easy to use and really useful. 
However, most of the time the problem is that I can't present the essence 
of my creature to the users, so they don't understand what it is and it's 
like I haven't done anything. That is why I welcome any advice that helps 
express.

referring to "Content" remind me of the text of the tiddler, though the 
plugin is more related to the fields.

AdvancedSearch (or a similar interface) in the sidebar for easy access.

In fact, the Locator only becomes space-intensive if we change the template 
for context items to, for example, "Transclusion". For that cases, a button 
that opens Locator in  the story river would be nice.

 I like this solution! Simple but clever. :) What kind of text would you 
recommend for it? For example, the sidebar would have such an info-tooltip, 
what would it say?

Anyway, thank you for the constructive comment!

2020-02-10 Thread TonyM

Bimlas,,

Once again you seem to have produced an elegant solution. Having being 
involved in a number of conversations on these very matters you have made a 
very powerful interface into the details of tiddlers and their 
relationships. Despite my involvement I see I need to take a conceptual 
leap to use locator. I see that the user needs to realise how comprehensive 
your solution is then use their imagination to explore the possibilities, 
not to mention use it to explore the Wiki it is installed on.

Your new introduction and video go a long way to helping, thanks for your 
excellent work. 


   - Is the video silent? 

My feedback right now is "Wow, great", but it needs a little something to 
make it perfect. 

If I may suggest some ideas to consider,

   - "Locator" works, but something like  "Content Locatorer" "Content 
   Explorer" would be more meaningful. 
  - One way to help with this is to include along with the name a short 
  descriptor
  - eg; Locator, your whole of Wiki content locator.
   - There is something upside down about the interface in the tab, I see 
   why, but I have a hunch there is another way
   - Also this is so powerful at least on a desktop you could have an open 
   in story, open in new window or modal then you would not need to be so 
   minimalist
  - Having a more verbose interface available, may make it easier to 
  learn to use the sidebar locator once someone has learned how to use it
   

I need to spend more time within to give more useful suggestions, but have 
a couple of deadlines today. I would like to provide a little more feedback 
because I really appreciate what you have done here, I particularly like 
your systematic approach to dealing with the complexity possible in 
tiddlywiki. I think all you need to make it perfect is a little more of an 
intuitive interface, perhaps with the use of some appropriate key terms, 
and info icons. Another effective way is to find an appropriate metaphor, 
perhaps one that relates to content. 

Here is a simple info Icon I use often
<$button tooltip="A small informational piece of text" 
class="tc-btn-invisible">
{{$:/core/images/info-button}}

It is only a tooltip

But a set of the above could be toggled on and off as needed.

Love your work
Please keep up this valuable contribution

Thank and Regards
Tony

That's true! the three main fields are responder, keywords and tags. Lets
