I am a heavy streams user. It helps to organize my notes in a structured manner so that I can easily retrieve them when I need a quick reference. I had given an early feedback regarding the current beta version in Reddit and GitHub. So I will concentrate on what I wish to see in streams in future plus a few late feedback comments about the beta version.
1. Templates - This is my use case. I am a radiology doctor. So when I take notes about the imaging findings of a certain topic, it usually have specific pattern. I will give an example. Name of the topic will form the title of parent streams tiddler / node. Then there will be headings like Definitions, Pathology, X ray findings, Ultrasound , CT, MRI findings, treatment etc. which will be made into separate child nodes. Sometimes there will be sub headings under some of the headings - for example under MRI findings there may be sub headings like T1W, T2W sequences - these also will be separate child nodes which will be indented under the corresponding heading. These headings or sub headings name will be usually the first sentence or word in the corresponding child nodes. Now I have to manually do it for each topic ( I use text expander extensions of browsers to make it easy for me). I would like this to happen automatically. That is when I create a parent streams tiddler or node with the topic name as title and add a particular tag or field to it, the child nodes should be created automatically with name of each headings or sub headings as the first text in that particular child node. So that I just have to fill in the contents in each node. Is it possible to do like this? I saw the option called template for new node in the streams settings. But I could configure only the parent tiddler with that. Is it possible to configure child nodes along with the parent using this template feature? 2. As I said in the first point, in many of my streams trees, the first word or sentence in the child nodes will be usually the name of the headings or sub headings. Is there any way to incorporate this first word or sentence of the child nodes into the title of that particular child node in place of the timestamp. For example - <<parent>>/<<first word or sentence of child node>> 3. Ability to export a single streams tree in any of the available format. Currently I don’t know of a way to select a single parent streams tiddler with its entire child nodes and export them. I know only to use the filter [stream-type[default]] which will select all the streams tiddlers in my wiki. Am I missing something here? 4. When we use streams, our recents page will be over filled with the child nodes of each streams tree. Is there any way to hide the child nodes within the recents page. Or else create a separate recents page for streams in addition to the default one with only parent nodes as it’s contents. 5. Option to select either wiki text or markdown format in the config option of streams so that user who need it can make use of. 6. In the documentation you may suggest to those people who use codemirror editor and editor autolist plug in along with streams to change the conflicting keyboard shortcuts. I think such conflicts can be easily overcome since everything is customizable. 7. Codemirror editor add much value when I am dealing with multi line content in child nodes because of keyboard shortcuts. This holds true in desktops and laptops. 8. I think codemirror should be disabled in mobile by default since selecting text doesn’t work when codemirror editor is active in mobile. Also because codemirror shortcuts won’t work in mobile. I came across a code by buggyj <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2730> for automatic disabling of codemirror in mobile. But this doesn’t disable codemirror editor in streams nodes in the mobile mode. Can that code be modified to disable codemirror in mobile for nodes in the streams tree also. 9. When the wiki is opened in mobile and the code mirror editor is selected, currently there is no option to disable double click to exit editing. But since I recommend not using codemirror in mobile, it doesn’t matter. But in desktop or laptop it would be a greater addition if the option to double click to exit editing is given while using codemirror editor also. 10. For a node withlong mutli line text content, when codemirror is selected as editor and we double click to edit the node, the focus of the node in edit mode will shift to the end of that node with caret position also at end of node. But if the default editor is selected, focus of the node in edit mode will remain at the top of the node with the caret position still at the end of the node. I am not saying that I routinely use such long multi line text in a single node of streams tree, but sometimes when I am preparing notes I will first paste the relevant text into a single node before splitting it into separate nodes. This behavior while using codemirror editor is not a big problem bcos I can just use keyboard shortcut to return to the top.
