Thanks Scott for the suggestion and Eric for the implementation, this will be really useful!
Here's a version with a couple of tweaks: - Added icons to the buttons. - You can export the tiddlers in a story (the OK button in the export popup looks goofy because the export macro I used doesn't have an option to change the button appearance...didn't feel like it was worth making my own copy of the macro to fix this, but if someone knows a simpler solution I'm all ears). - Stories are saved with a prefix (e.g., $:/StorySaver/saved) rather than as the unmodified name of the story. The prefix used for this and for the tag applied to saved stories is configurable via a variable at the top of the tiddler. One additional tweak that might be useful would be preventing the story-saver tiddler itself from being saved. I don't care because I put it in the sidebar at the bottom of the Open tab, so I won't normally have it open, but others might. <!-- Eric Shulman, https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/2WWN0Lf0G-E, alt. --> <$set name=savedStoryTag value="$:/sib/StorySaver/SavedStory"> <$set name=savedStoryPrefix value="$:/sib/StorySaver/saved/"> <$button popup="$:/state/popup/savestory"> {{$:/core/images/save-button}} save story </$button> <$reveal type="popup" state="$:/state/popup/savestory" class="tc-drop-down tc-popup-keep" style="min-width:auto;padding:0.5em;"> Enter a new story name:<br> <$edit-text tiddler="$:/state/popup/savestory" field="storyname" /><br> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>limit[1]]"> or, select an existing story:<br> <style> .savedStoryList { width:100%; } </style> <$select tiddler="$:/state/popup/savestory" field="storyname" size="5" class="savedStoryList"> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>removeprefix<savedStoryPrefix>]"><option><<currentTiddler>></option></$list> </$select> </$list> <$button style="text-align:center;"> save <$action-setfield $tiddler={{{ [{$:/state/popup/savestory!!storyname}addprefix<savedStoryPrefix>] }}} list={{$:/StoryList!!list}} tags=<<savedStoryTag>> /> <$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="$:/state/popup/savestory" /> </$button> </$reveal> <$button popup="$:/state/popup/loadstory"> {{$:/core/images/storyview-classic}} load story </$button> <$reveal type="popup" state="$:/state/popup/loadstory" class="tc-drop-down tc-popup-keep" style="min-width:auto;padding:0.5em;"> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>limit[1]]" emptyMessage="no saved stories"> select an existing story:<br> <style> .savedStoryList { width:100%; } </style> <$select tiddler="$:/state/popup/loadstory" field="storyname" size="5" class="savedStoryList"> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>removeprefix<savedStoryPrefix>]"><option><<currentTiddler>></option></$list> </$select> </$list> <$button style="text-align:center;"> load <$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/StoryList" list={{{ [{$:/state/popup/loadstory!!storyname}addprefix<savedStoryPrefix>get[list]] }}} /> <$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="$:/state/popup/loadstory" /> </$button> </$reveal> <$button popup="$:/state/popup/exportstory"> {{$:/core/images/export-button}} export story </$button> <$reveal type="popup" state="$:/state/popup/exportstory" class="tc-drop-down tc-popup-keep" style="min-width:auto;padding:0.5em;"> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>limit[1]]" emptyMessage="no saved stories"> select an existing story:<br> <style> .savedStoryList { width:100%; } </style> <$select tiddler="$:/state/popup/exportstory" field="storyname" size="5" class="savedStoryList"> <$list filter="[tag<savedStoryTag>removeprefix<savedStoryPrefix>]"><option><<currentTiddler>></option></$list> </$select> </$list> <$macrocall $name="exportButton" exportFilter={{{ [{$:/state/popup/exportstory!!storyname}addprefix<savedStoryPrefix>get[list]] }}} lingoBase="$:/language/Buttons/ExportTiddlers/"/> </$reveal> </$set> </$set> On Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at 7:57:14 PM UTC-6 Eric Shulman wrote: > On Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at 5:01:52 PM UTC-8 > ad...@menswellbeing.org wrote: > >> Is it possible to save the story-river into a tiddler and then use that >> tiddler to open that story-river at a later time?
