CopyTiddlerPlugin is supposed to remove-and-replace the copy number
with the next incremental value, and it is working properly in my
documents, so it's a bit surprising that you are getting the results
you have observed.
Here's the *actual* code from the plugin (with annotations), which
shows that the desired functionality that you described is, in fact,
*exactly* what the code does:
First, find the existing "(#)" part of the title text (if any):
var re=/ \(([0-9]+)\)$/; var match = re.exec(title);
Next, calculate the new copy number, "n" and remove the old copy
number from the title:
var n=match?parseInt(match[1])+1:1; if (match) title=title.replace
(re,'');
Then construct the new tiddler title:
var newTitle=this.prefix+title+this.suffix.format([n]);
The problem arises because you are no longer using (#) as a suffix...
even though you have changed the output format for the suffix to "-
#", the first line in the code shown above was still looking for the
"(#)" text pattern.
I've updated the plugin so that the suffix *pattern* can be properly
customized to match your customized suffix output *format*.
Also, please note that to change the format of the suffix, you should
not modify the plugin code. Rather, you can simply create a new
tiddler called [[CopyTiddlerPluginConfig]], tagged with
'systemConfig', containing something like this:
config.commands.copyTiddler.suffixText=" - %0";
config.commands.copyTiddler.suffixPattern=/ - ([0-9]+)$/;
when you save-and-reload, CopyTiddlerPluginConfig is invoked
immediately after CopyTiddlerPlugin (because plugins are run in
alphabetical order). Thus, this setting will supersede the default
value defined in the plugin, and your customized suffix format/pattern
will be used.
