Thanks all. The pointer to the Tinka plugin was especially useful. Although it's maybe telling that I hadn't found that myself, despite literally hours of googling, including (in the beginning) explicitly for 'tiddlywiki plugin tutorial' and variations on that. And if it's linked to from tiddlywiki.com somewhere, I didn't find it. I do have some thoughts (both as a software developer and as a fresh user who's trying to do some what I'd think would be at worst medium hard customizations to fit a specific workflow) on overall usability and documentation, but it seems from the copious other messages on this list that this is actively being addressed and that my notes wouldn't really add any value. And I don't want to come across as ungrateful either - I understand how things got to where they are, but I have good hopes that Tiddlywiki will be a great tool that will do what I want much better than all the other tools I have tried over the years and that some temporary frustration will soon be forgotten. So thanks to the developers (and I don't mean that in a damning with faint praise way :) ).
Anyway, I have my plugin now working and polished enough to be quite satisfactory for my own use. If anyone is interested in trying it, it can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsrk9ltg3z867x1/%24%20_plugins_rvanhout_videoelement.tid?dl=0 . There is a readme in there that explains how to use the macro it provides, but there is also a button in the editor toolbar to insert a stub macro invocation, much more convenient. (for completeness and for those who hadn't been reading along - what this plugin does is it provides a way to include videos in your tiddlers, collapsed by default, and it lets you set a starting time stamp in the video; so if you're analyzing video(s), you can keep notes on what happens at various points in time in the video) cheers Roel On Wed, May 20, 2020 at 10:01 AM Joshua Fontany <[email protected]> wrote: > I would really love to test such functionality.
