These are the questions from Nick that we didn't get a chance to cover today.
Best wishes Jeremy. In the Vanilla theme, tags with dark background colors also have black text, making them virtually unreadable. This is also true in the Snow White theme. Also, no evident way to change text color as a workaround. In TiddlyWiki/Dev: documentation for developers, there is, when editing, no helpful tip on how to help with the documentation, as there is in other TW versions. Although the banner Find me on GitHub is quite apparent, it was only by accident that I discovered it was clickable (in the Dev Doc TW). It took me to the main TW5 master page, with no indication where TW/Doc is, the better to propose changes in it. The altered scroll thumbs are to allow a choice of scrolling metaphors to move file either up or down when scrolling down on scrollbar. This may be so weird as to be useless, but is presented as an alternative way of thinking. Should there be a typographical convention that differentiates renamed links that point to renamed tiddlers (drafts) not yet saved? Now, such renaming just uses italicized text, which makes it look as if the draft does not yet exist. Bold italic? I have posted on my fork a revised UI design that includes a control to both definitively split the screen visually and, more particularly, fix the annoyance of not being able to resize the river in TiddlyFox. It simply has a movable partition. Sorry to front load so much, but it gives participants time to consider rebuttals. Feel free to skip more outlandish or impractical questions to give more time for discussion. The other "feature" of the new UI drawing is a suggestion for redrawing scrollbar thumbs as brackets to show the position and proportion of the visible portion of a viewport, while emphasizing that clicking on scrollbar (or dragging) changes scroll. Another possibility is to use a book metaphor for tiddlers, but @Jermolene said that this might be inappropriate to pursue at this point, for it would involve a major rethink and rewrite of the UI. However, I through it out there as an idea for future. I also suggested elsewhere, that [[link syntax]] might be expanded to add tags at the time of link creation to create another tiddler. Tag creation would happen only once. I think this would make writing flow more natural + have other benefits. Perhaps all links to a renamed tiddler should be automatically updated, although this could be somewhat hazardous if not planned carefully. Some obvious mechanism or syntax should (or perhaps does) exist to create Boolean searches of desired tags using AND, OR and NOT. There should be an easy way to sort the tiddlers (if there is not already) and sort their tags into a desired order. By "easy" I mean that this basic functionality should be part of the GUI, as Find is now. I think it is very important to have an obvious manner to traverse a tiddler in an easily predetermined order, even if this order is simply dating a special class of tag, which determine what is before and after current tiddler. Think of email, e.g. I find there is a lack of tool-tips, e.g. for "retain story ordering" and other items in the settings tiddlers. This discourages experimenting with different settings with some confidence as to what they will accomplish. Would it be desirable to be able to lock individual tiddlers (with a lock icon) to prevent them from being accidentally altered? Another (I would think rather easy to implement) feature would be dynamic (at least foldable) HTML dumps of tiddlers, perhaps based on whether they contain a special tag AND in date order....or something much more clever. Much better than static output. A source of inspiration /ideas is the open source project FreeMind—so-called mind-mapping software— that permits developing ideas in a graphical tree, with cross-links, both internal and external. Of particular interest is the plethora of export formats. Another idea from FreeMind that might apply to tiddlers, is the facility to make extensive annotations for each node of the graph, while each node may contain paragraphs of text. The annotations can be displayed in HTML. Nodes can be dragged to restructure -- Jeremy Ruston mailto:[email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
