one use-case: selecting a pre-defined prefix/suffix that can be automatically combined with manually-entered title text to create unique titles that follow a particular tiddler naming convention. However, there are two issues: 1) Using multiple form input controls to set the tiddler title is problematic: there's some special core processing for the 'title' field, in order to handle collisions with or renaming of existing tiddlers as well as creating new ones. 2) While naming conventions may seem to be a convenient way to 'self- organize' the tiddlers in a document, it is also 'brittle', as it is very difficult to change the naming convention later on if additional organizing criteria are needed. Most often, an alternative solution with tags or custom tiddler fields can provide much greater utility and flexibility, through use of many of TW's built-in or plugin- enhanced tag/field handling features. enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
