Hi John, No worry at all.
The selective operation *temporarily* adds a working tag, *$:/tags/Commander/Working* This is only used when you want select tiddlers among your filtered list! When you finished or whenever you like (next session, ...) simply click on *Deselect all *button. In another word, this way you keep your tiddlers selected to do operation and after finished you release them! --Mohammad On Sat, Jan 18, 2020 at 12:49 PM Jon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mohammad, > > Thanks for the suggestions.
