You are right about the clutter. It may not be too bad if it is used as a one time configuration that is then left alone, but if the configuration is going to be changed regularly it will be way too much clutter. I added a lot to the demo <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/ControlPanelAddon/>.
Because Eric said to not use his I threw together a simple range widget <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/ControlPanelAddon/#%24%3A%2Fplugin%2Finmysocks%2Frangewidget%2Frange.js> that lets you set min, max and step. It is just thrown together so it isn't elegant but it works for the demo which highlights the problem you mentioned when using them. That is even if I set a value to 100px, then switch the unit to em instead of pix it results in a horrible mess. The list of css properties I have in the demo wiki lists the input types taken by each one as number, text or color. Setting a color picker for each color field isn't a bad idea but a generic numeric slider is way too easy to mess up the way it is now. I could add some more data tiddlers that list min and max values for properties that take numeric inputs, but that would lead to some other annoying problems so I am not going to bother with that for now. Also I completely agree that the solution to how hard finding a particular item is would be to tag it with all related tags, this is what I was trying to allow with the modified menu version I made. I am not sure how well it works with a large number of entries yet, but it is start. I don't know if Jeremy has seen it yet or not, I was going to try demoing it at the last hangout but I had to leave early. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
