Update: Solved. My problem was unwanted tiddlers on the story river of the following nature
1. Tiddlers created when I change the colour of a tag 2. Tiddlers created when I import an image In the case of number 2. I wanted to use the image within other tiddlers just like illustrations in a book but I did not want to see the actual image tiddler in the story river. I have been getting better with writing filters but came to the conclusion that it would be too complicated to express what I considered 'by product' tiddlers and someone else would have a different opinion as it is subjective. In the end I chose a pragmmatic approach - I have a new tag 'z hidden' - the prefix 'z' simply assures it will appear at the end of alphabetically ordered tag lists. When a tiddler is created as a 'by product' (subjective view) I simply tag it 'z hidden' and my modified story river filters are instructed not to show it, now my story river shows only tiddlers I consider to be 'main content'.
