Sorry Mat, can you be a bit clearer; I clicked through to QuickTid but didn’t 
see a button labelled “Content”. Perhaps you can just show the code that you 
want me to see?

Perhaps. It seems a bit roundabout to use the ‘link’ tool to create a link to a 
non-existent tiddler, since the whole raison d’etre of the tool is to permit 
searching of existing tiddlers.

Yes.

That’s intentional; the tools are now divided into groups. I’ll increase the 
spacing so that people don’t think it’s accidental.

Can you give an example of a tool where the current tooltip doesn’t include 
words that could be used to describe the tool here?

That sounds like an optimisation. I’d be concerned about clutter, and I’m not 
really convinced that people need to be regularly switching toolbar buttons on 
and off.

I think you’re suggesting two separate things here:

* Move the tiddler type controls into the toolbar. The obstacle here is that 
not all editor types support the toolbar, so one would lose the ability to 
change the type for those tiddlers
* Have a separate button for each type, rather a dropdown (this seems less 
scalable than a dropdown)

Overall, I’m confused why one would want to optimise changing the type of an 
existing tiddler; isn’t specifying the type of a new tiddler more common?

> Clicking the more(?) button opens empty popup.

In situations where there are no hidden toolbar buttons then the more dropdown 
will be empty. You see the same thing with the more button in the view template 
or in the sidebar when the dropdown is empty.

That last item is the “fold bar” introduced a few releases ago. It doesn’t 
appear as an icon, which is why there’s no icon shown.

Good point,

Best wishes
