Your spec ticks all the boxes, Anders... So i installed it, but not getting the hoped-for result, alas.
*What i did:* Changed URL on the "ProblemOfLinkRot" tiddler to "SolutionToProblemOfLinkRot"; selected (modified) Permalink button in pulldown tiddler menu -and it copied the composite URL, composed per your specification, to my clipboard, which is also populating the new "Permalink" field, i see. So far so good... But there is yet a problem -two actually: 1. When i point my browser to the new URL- https://meta.tiddlyhost.com/#:[contains:permalink[solutiontoproblemoflinkrot-20210505114349833]] - it pulls a blank page. 2. The old permalink- https://meta.tiddlyhost.com/#ProblemOfLinkRot -brings me to a "Missing Tiddler" page (not surprising, since a tiddler with that name indeed exists no more, having been overwritten by the new... And that old URL has no "contains" parameter in it). I hadn't really thought of this problem in terms of having two different URLs pointing to the same tiddler; instead, i was hoping that a UID could be assigned on tiddler creation (ideally a not-too-weird combo-key: original name (guaranteed unique at the time, as you say) plus date would work), which persists across any renaming event in the Permalink field, but is not the title. Is there some problem w/ this simpler solution that i'm not seeing? /walt On Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 5:12:15 PM UTC+1 Anjar wrote: > Hi, > > Here is a demo for a new permalink button.
