The first part is that using the existing checkbox widget it would be possible to have a checkbox tied to the tag "selected", and then use filters to choose the selected tiddlers. The trouble with that simple approach is that it requires modifying the selected tiddlers to reflect their selected status. The way around that would be to have a variant of the checkbox widget that toggles the current tiddler in and out of a specified list field. Then just that list field would be modified as tiddlers were selected and deselected. Then we'd need a new mechanism to define actions to be performed on a set of filtered tiddlers. I'd like to have a simple text-based mechanism that covers common cases like adding and removing tags, or manipulating fields, with the possibility of falling through to JS modules for more complex stuff (just as we do with macros in TW5). > I also hope, TW5 will be able to recursively update tags when the tag > tiddler title is changed (this seems to be in the works).
