David, As Mark said and You can call them "X-10 Camera" and "X-10 Sled" or "X-10 a" and "X-10 b" *Just don't use a value in the title to determine if it is a camera or a sled. * Use titles to help distinguish between different objects with similar names, but don't use titles to perform other functions like a category or class that can be set with a field or tag and other ways.
As they say "trust me", I am not kidding, this is based on deep experience of knowledge, information and database management. To prove this I never have problems naming or renaming tiddlers, and I am curious why this is a problem for many?. I have tried to document how I manage this, but it has eluded me so far :( Regards Tony On Friday, April 17, 2020 at 6:39:20 AM UTC+10, David wrote: > > Tony, > > Thanks for the suggestion.
