Thanks for your replies Mario!
Don't use "production" for your experiments, without a backup. > You're of course right.

I hadn't realized core was a single plugin and so I thought the reasoning was "the user has updated tiddler X so it will not be updated so to not have it overwritten." Glad to understand this is not how it works. ---------------------------------------------- BTW, the current warning message merely gives the rather cryptic information that "future upgrades will be non-trivial". Maybe the warning message inform (or link to) an explanation with something along: "If you modify a shadow tiddler, a copy of the original version will be kept. Updating your TiddlyWiki will update this original copy but not your modified copy. Deleting your modified copy will re-activate the original shadow tiddler." Considering our target user groups, and as indicated by this thread, I believe this is of value for a user to know. If he is advanced enough to mess with shadow tiddlers, then this is relevant info. ----------------------------------------------- Another question, from pondering on the above. Are these statements true: "Default/empty TW = shadowTiddlers + systemTiddlers", i.e nothing more. "coreTiddlers = someOfTheShadowTiddlers + someOfTheSystemTiddlers", i.e nothing more. "defaultShadowTiddlers = coreShadowTiddlers + pluginshadowtiddlers", i.e nothing more. Thank you Mario, or whoever is kind to answer. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
