Thanks Richard. *Really* nice with reviews - you just made me realize I
should get tiddlyclip immediately. And I must check out taglist!
My mention of people sharing their plugin lists was more in the context of
some kind of automated statistical analysis to identify e.g most popular
plugins, clusters of plugins used together, conflicting combinations etc. I
think the "manual approach" is too demanding to get enough info to draw
*general* conclusions from.
But, hey, my own plugins: My "working" TW's are still TWC because of
exactly the plugins. For instance, I have a zillion forEachTiddler's with
very specific setups and thinking about the filters I need to replace
these... I'm using the Ostrich strategy so far. In TW5 I mostly test things
so far, for instance I converted my main notebook to TW5 and I can see
it'll be great once I master TW5.
BUT, looking at my TWC's I can tell you which plugins that bring
functionality except the already mentioned forEachTiddlerPlugin:
TiddlySnip by Zaq Imtiaz - I'm strating with this because of your
TiddlyClip mention. In the days of TiddlySnip, I found that very valuable
too.
TagglyTaggingPlugin by Simon Baird - this coudl probably easily be replaced
with a filter in TW5 but Taggly is a neat thing to put in the
tiddlertemplate to get various views on tiddlers tagged with the current
tiddler and similar.
NestedSlidersPlugin - by Eric. It replaced and outperformed the core slider
macro (not least syntactically). I'm very fond of sliders, particularly if
"nestable", because they let you "portion out" just what the reader wants
at that moment. No skipping around on the page with new tiddlers and
scrolling etc which distracts the mind from what you were doing. For pure
text it also let's you write to different kinds of readers - thos who
want/can the shallow information AND those who want elaborations. If I were
president I'd make a law forcing every text written from now on to use
NestedSlidersPlugin. ("Of course I read Dostojevskis Crime and Punishment.
Took me about an hour." ;-) BTW, there is the less known
http://tw.lewcid.org/#AnnotationsPlugin that has similarities but is more
snappy (but much more limited).
SaveClose tiddler and CancelClose tiddler. Two "small" plugins but that I
use everyday. Lets you save and close, or cancel and close, in one click.
Looking through the TWC plugin list I sense a lot of them have lost their
relevance in TW5 which I think shows how superior TW5 is becoming. For
instance, to get something similar to the TW5 ToC macro was for a pretty
complex task in TWC.
