Hi Mark Thanks for the radio idea. I think I would have to see an example that is more substantial than the one at tiddlywiki.com in order to implement the idea though. To answer your question: I usually use zoomin story view, so having on preview mode that changes every tiddler's view mode would be better. Also, default upon opening the file needs to be #4 (blank) to keep from slowing the file down. But default after the first use is not necessary.
