The problem is highlighted by something like this: \define dropaction() <$action-createtiddler $basetitle=<<actionTiddler>> /> <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]search:title<actionTiddler>sort[created]last[]]" variable="lastcreated"> <$fieldmangler tiddler=<<lastcreated>>> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param=<<currentTiddler>>/> </$fieldmangler> </$list> \end
<$droppable actions=<<dropaction>>>Some area to drop on </$droppable> ... this brute-force approach doesn't work and will tag the second from last one since the action-createtiddler doesn't create a tiddler until the entire action is done. None of these work now but maybe one of these solutions could be adopted in the core: 1) the DroppableWidget could be made to act more like the ButtonWidget in that actions within the widget are triggered so <$droppable actions=<<second_actions>> > <<first_actions>> </$droppable> would work. Right now only <<second_actions>> trigger. 2) DroppableWidgets (and ButtonWidgets) could be make nestable with inner widgets completing before outer ones so that you can have constructs like: <$droppable actions=<<nth_drop_action>>> ... <$droppable actions=<<second_drop_action>>> <$droppable actions=<<first_drop_action>>>Some area to drop on </$droppable> </$droppable> ... </$droppable> 3) ActionCreateTiddlerWidget could have a variable scope that acts like <$fieldmangler> to do things like: <$action-createtiddler $basetitle="Created Tiddler"> <<actions_that_use_currentTiddler_or_defined_variable_that_is_same_as_that_stored_in_$savetitle>> </$action-createtiddler> ... however having the name won't help if the tiddler isn't created until the end. Some potential RFEs ... none of which I have the skill to implement. /Mike On Friday, December 18, 2020 at 12:18:14 AM UTC-4 Mark S. wrote: > On Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 7:33:30 PM UTC-8 TW Tones wrote: > >> >> >> Otherwise; *accept or generate the new tiddler name before >> $action-createtiddler * >> >> > > This somewhat obviates the utility of the $savetitle attribute, since the > results are not available until the containing process is completed. > > So, for instance, you couldn't catch use $savetitle to create a reference > in another tiddler to the newly created tiddler until the process is done. > Meaning, at best, that the user has to push a button for a second time for > no apparent reason.
