Bimlas,
Nice simple method. I considered this at one point and did not proceeded
with it for a few reasons that I recall.
- I did not know how to guarantee uniqueness, especially for imported
tiddlers
- Cloning tiddlers can defeat this with duplicates
- I noticed many system tiddlers are "created" field free.
I did actually intervene and on given tiddlers tested the created date was
unique, and if not incremented only the milliseconds to make it unique.
- You can test for uniqueness on tiddlers that need this serial number,
and I copied it to the TSN tiddler Serial Number field so I knew this test
had being done.
- I decided if this were to be a potentially global serial number it
would consume less space to start from 1 rather than in your example
20,131,129,090,249,275
- I even considered converting the generated serial number to a base 62
number system - 26 lower case, 26 upper case and 10 numeric to make the
serial number even shorter
- Although I maintained next SN in decimal.
Regardless of how one sets the serial number a small set of tools would
help, such as editor toolbar to select a link to a tiddler that uses the
serial number.
Regards
Tony
