I do like the modular approach of filters.

I am just listing tiddler titles like tags do, only in multiple fields. I want the interface to look like you are adding tags, with a popup autocomplete. No more typos or copy pasting a search result inside [[ ]]. Actually, that might be a really useful widget/macro on it's own. > The $x-maketid widget will create a unique name using an appended integer > -- repeated clicks of the button will, therefore, create a number of > tiddlers with different names.

Dates are a good idea too, hadn't thought of that. Cheers Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
