I was almost going to say this gives me everything I want, but there's a situation I'm certain I'll want to do frequently that's not taken care of: I can't reorder list of tiddlers at the same level in the tree, say move one from lower down in the list to higher up on the same level, e.g., where each tiddler contains a paragraph of a document and I want the paragraphs to appear in an order other than alphabetic. I suppose that could be taken care of by composing topics to indicate order in a list as well as the content of the tiddler, which I've been doing anyway. Still, while it doesn't give me quite give me everything I want, it almost does. [I have an old DOS "outlining" program that I miss very much, and I'm probably subconsciously hoping that TreeView will eventually let me do all the things I used to do with it. Nothing ever will. It was/is genuinely unique. [I put "outlining" in quotes because calling it that doesn't begin to do it justice. It was more an idea capturer, organizer, and reorganizing.] I've pleaded with the developer to adapt it to run as a command driven application in Linux and OS X. He's promised he will, but it keeps not appearing. Oh how I miss it.] > > Now people might start understanding TiddlyWiki better and it having > broader appeal with the non-linear chaos taking shape and gaining some > order. . . .
