Just to follow up
- At the moment the permalink to a tiddler copies the encoded url, if
you paste this anywhere else you keep the encoded link.
- Click and it works however the pretty title is lost or non
existent.
- This copy only ever captures the encoded URL
- If however you make the tiddler titles into links and copy that using
select and copy, you can past this almost anywhere, email, GG, word and
other Rich text environments
- In some only the pretty link is pasted (not URL)
- *In many the link is pasted and is displayed behind the original
pretty link (this is the** most desirable)*
- In some including plain text fields eg tiddler text fields only the
encoded url is pasted
What I would like;
- The existing permalink to do the equivalent of highlight and copy
- Provide the ability to drop/paste such links from the clipboard into
tiddlywiki and capture both the link and pretty title
- Ideally directly and to the [[prettylink||urllink]] form required
by Tiddlywiki
- Alternatively as a HTML a record <a href="urllink">prettylink</a>
- What I would like less
- If necessary a mechanism to drop/paste into an intermediate
mechanism
- Another form of the permalink but with the desired copy behaviour.
Regards
Tones
