Mat, I am not sure if this helps People wiser than me can set me strait If I have it wrong, but after packaging a few plugins under the $:/plugins I also started including tiddlers outside this name but Ensured they have a reasonable chance of not colliding, I include tiddlers in my own

Hi, The important thing is. plugins are only containers. The tiddlers are expanded into shadow tiddlers and then they are executed. That means even if you use a prefix and "short-name" you still end up with the long name for every tiddler. -m -- You received this message because you are
