Not at all!!!! ImportTiddlersPlugin provides an interactive 'control panel' style interface and offers *many* extra features, including a multi-select listbox with sort by title, date, or tags, with one-click commands to select all/added/changes/differences, as well as a filter mechanism to narrow the list choices before selecting. It supports use of passwords and proxies for remote URLs, and can read and import from TW documents (full or "PureStore"), as well as CSV files (for bulk tiddler definition) or text files (import entire text as single tiddler). It also provides options over the tags on 'inbound' tiddlers, allowing you to import tags, keep existing tags, and/or add new tags to imported tiddlers, so that they can be more easily identified later on. The plugin's import process is also enhanced, and offers interactive 'collision handling' between inbound tiddlers and existing tiddlers that share the same title. For each collision, you can choose to skip (not import), rename (inbound tiddler uses new name), merge (combine existing content with inbound content), or replace (overwrite existing with inbound). The plugin also generates a cumulative 'history report' in [[ImportedTiddlers]], showing which tiddlers were imported from what source, and on what date. This can often be invaluable when trying to recall where specific plugins came from, or what updates you have done. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios > > The ticket sets the priority at "minor" but from a usability > standpoint this is a major flaw, particularly because there is no > information about it.
