Hi Greg,

This json is only "export" only, this doesn't work as import. I agree this
is a bit confusing...

The dollar sign marks the tiddler as "system tiddler".

however, make sure you are not breaking the json format using sed ;)

within tw and your browser, your js-console is your only option. Maybe I
find the time to post a js console command that iterates over all edges
with a given name and adds a certain property (e.g. color) to it...
