Hi Chris, I would suppose there is a reason for most all database(-like) systems to equip "records" (a tiddler being a somewhat generic record) with a persistent id. Tiddlywiki kind of fails in that regard and that is a bummer for quite many things, not only those that go beyond the single-file-boundary. Of course, the title could be (ab)used for the purpose of a uuid, but then... where is the title or human-readable-name-for-the-thing? For example, today a "permalink" refers to some content behind a uri. But what if what I really need is a permanent link to the resource I was given the moment I requested the permalink? Sure, maybe all that is required is some well defined version handling which would point from an old location to a new one (as would be the case for renaming), perhaps adding yet another version number and some "deprecated" identifier to the no longer valid resource... until otherwise a new reanimated version is saved with new "content". tb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
