The problem is that the list widget does everything. Almost every component of tiddlywiki that is displayed is displayed inside a list widget, from the order of the tiddlers in the story river to the buttons on each tiddler. Unfortunately this means that anything you do to the list widget has unintended consequences. a while ago Tobias made a modification to the list widget that would give you the index of the current item of the list. It was very useful, unfortunately it turns out that it also interferes with some of the optimisations needed to make tiddlywiki run reasonably.
Recently there has been some more discussion about this and I think that the current consensus is that we should just make another widget that does what the list widget does but without the optimisation so we can include things like giving a count of the number of things in a list. I think someone said they would work on it but I don't know if any progress has been made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
