Hi Mat Thanks for your replies.
Here are some thoughts: 1. Regarding your alternative solution to my flipping the title and showname fields, yes, I figured there were probably eight other ways to do the same. TiddlyWiki is like that...it is hard for me to picture what your solution does (not a defect of your solution but of my imagination), so I will just say that my version gives me what I need: control to make file names short, while still seeing a more natural tiddler title; a way to avoid renaming all links to a file if the tiddler title changes. If there were a tangible advantage to doing it another way, I would be open to try it. 2. Thanks for the link to the @ttention plugin, that is great, I had not seen that. Very similar to what I mentioned. I can picture myself using that, and have bookmarked it. Usually when I add a link to a non existent tiddler, though, I don't want to write anything for it, I just want to have a reference to it. Also, I have a question (without having tried it out): Is what you write in the originating tiddler still visible there after you save it? Seems like it would clutter the originating tiddler unnecessarily if it didn't automatically hide the information for the second tiddler. 3. I am not sure what you are referring to about what Eric or Tobias wrote up. I should note that my link buttons do use relative paths to wrap the filename: If in same folder: [ext[|./ + filename to be wrapped + .html]] If in different folder: [ext[|../FOLDER/ + filename to be wrapped + .html]] 4. Sorry, I was in a hurry when I finished this last night since the family needed my computer to play the movie Arrival which we rented. It was not called the 'display macro' but the 'details widget' and the link is http://tid.li/tw5/hacks.html#DetailsWidget:DetailsWidget%20[[Details%20Basic%20Examples]]%20[[Details%20Advanced%20Examples]], created by the new and prolific TWizard Thomas Elmiger. 5. Thanks for the compliment about my family. I love 'em! Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
