Jeremy, Yes, that conversation was what made me want to look into this. The problems you mentioned happen of course but if you trigger the macro using a button store the macro output in a state tiddler then you have a limited context where random number generation works. A widget message or something similar seems like it would be a better way to implement this, but I am not familiar enough with Javascript or the internal workings of tiddlywiki to do that yet.
The question about the count widget here would allow me to dynamically set the range for the generated numbers and could be used to make an 'open random tiddler' button with the tiddlers drawn from an arbitrary list. Since we can't do that yet I may look into making something that can after I implement the random generator in a more reasonable way, but that sounds significantly harder than a working rng. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
