Thanks for the response!

Yes that really helps - I had indeed missed the overridden and system
tiddlers advanced search, and the haschanged filter will prove very
helpful, so thanks for taking the time

I'd already looked at and watched your video for your very impressive
bundler plugin, but I think I'm stuck at first principles again: I've
proved to myself that if I have a (standard) tiddler that lists other
(standard) tiddlers, and I drag that between TiddlyWikis, its a shallow
copy so doesn't copy the referenced tiddlers (though this must be different
for plugin tiddlers since dragging a single tiddler does precicely this,
that's precicely a factor that defines these as 'plugins'). So that's what
I understand the principle of your bundler is: it essentially creates a
deep clone of the children when supplied with a
tiddler-consisting-of-links, am I close?

So, I would understand the process of using your bundler to capture
settings like so: i'd use the output of the overridden/system
advanced-search-filter tiddlers that you mentioned to manually create a
tiddler-of-links based on them, and then use that tiddler as the input to
the bundler, to deep-clone them to a bundle for import. But from watching
your video I don't seem to have that process quite right: your plugin seems
more than that because, as you say, it seems to facilitate making a custom
filter to automatically remove the temp and other tiddlers you mention
above from the search results each time its run - to whit: the input that
drives your bundler is not a tiddler-of-link, but is instead a filter
expression. Am I right? But since some of these tiddlers-to-filter-out seem
to just need fully-specifying, I imagine the filter expression gets quite
long, Maybe I've misunderstood, I will investigate further.

I had actually seen the diff functionality on import, what I wanted at the
time though was a retrospective way to find the difference between 2 wikis
that had been seperately created over a long period of time. I haven't
investigated the structure of a tiddlywiki file but i'm sure it would be
possible to write an external tool to inspect each tiddler object for
comparison given an html, or I guess I could have exported an html-style
wiki into the node-style .tid format and just used a file diffing
tool...too late now ;-)

thanks again
