Although either a shadow tiddler or a temporary tiddler might have been used here, I deliberately chose to use a shadow tiddler rather than a temporary tiddler so that the default message logging behavior would have absolutely no impact on users that don't care about the MessageLog. By using a shadow, it is 100% guaranteed that no changes to the tiddler 'store' will occur and thus no triggering of notification handlers that might cause unwanted side-effects. In contrast, a temporary tiddler still modifies the tiddler 'store', and could still trigger notification handlers, as well as appearing in the tabbed lists of tiddlers (unless it was also tagged with 'excludeLists'), even if the [[MessageLog]] tiddler would be meaningless (or even distracting) to the specific audience for that document. -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
