Or how would you serve others this .tid file? Tiddler Bundles is much more direct, and as Jeds demos here <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlerBundles/autobundle.html> you can even build the bundle on an external TW as it loads. You immediately have the link to drag into your TW. That said, it would be great if the export mechanism could be modified to also offer "internal export" i.e so that a ".tid" instead simply becomes a single tiddler in the TW. And un-pack it by drag'n dropping it's title link onto the greeny. This would in effect be Tiddler Bundles, I think. Currently, only(?) plugins allow you to manage multiple tiddlers as one unit. But this should not be limited to plugins because plugins and shadow tiddlers bring along other "features" such as the prevention of deleting tiddlers etc. This latter aspect of "easy deletion" is particularly important for *content* tiddlers. It should be easy to import/export normal tiddlers *en masse* and the tiddlers should, of course, be simple to delete as desired. For instance, I'm working on what I hope will become an official "edition" (gaaah, I have a problem with that term here. *Application *is just much better!) that consists of a basic infrastructure to deal with particular content - but the whole thing only becomes valuable when it is filled with content... but it requires much content and I plan on providing premade such... but it is crucial that the user can easily delete and manipulate this content, etc. Neither a plugin nor the standard exporting procedure nor drag'n drop one-tiddler-at-a-time are satisfying solutions for this. Does this clarify a bit? Of course, @Jed might have other opinions on why tiddler bundling is valuable. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
