Hi Soren,

I wrote most of the recent Node file-handling logic.

I found the easiest way to "touch" a batch of tiddlers in order to force a 
re-save is to $action-deletefield a NON-EXISTANT field from within a $list 
(triggered by a $button).

This forces the tw core to re-save a tiddler over the existing one (even 
tho its the same) & this triggers the Sync mechanism.

(You can also use this to "unpack" shadow tiddlers from within plugins, 
forcing a "normal" tiddler that is the same as the shadow-copy.)

Best,
Joshua F
