I have finally attempted to migrate a wiki from Classic TWC to TW5. But I will return to Classic. In case it is helpful, here are the reasons.
1. I use a laptop, not a mobile device. TW5 is designed for use on a small screen, it seems (large type, etc). I can't see enough of what I want. TWC allows me to changed type size, so I think I could tweak my wiki for use on a small screen; but I haven't been able to find the methods for this in TW5. 2. Another personal trait that perhaps makes TW5 less appealing: I'm content keeping my work on a local drive (using Tiddly Desktop). 3. The "upgrade" macro takes care of some issue of content formatting, but apparently not line breaks, so I have to insert more line breaks to finish the task. So most tiddlers effectively require two steps, and the second one is a bit labor-intensive. 4. Using TWC, modifying my wiki has been an interesting, absorbing and fruitful hobby. It requires work and learning (JavaScript and use of python for transforming the document), but the prospect is inviting and the results are lovely. For whatever reason -- maybe my fault for having less available time, or lower personal commitment because I have a working application in TWC -- I haven't been able to break into creative work with TW5. I feel envious of those who have. I wonder, *how did they do it?* I haven't found much on record to answer that question. In any case, spending the next two years with TWC, though deprecated, promises to be more fun than making the switch. Of course it is impossible to post a list like this without revealing myself as a complainer and an incompetent. I humbly accept the charges, but please know that TW has improved my life through personal information management and I think about it *every *day with interest, gratitude and passion. I am in debt to Jeremy, Eric and all you others -- and it means much to me that you stay aware of diverse needs in the community, including those like mine, and you invest thought and effort into bridging the gaps created by new development. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
