Ciao PMario, Your Bundler is already one neat bit of kit!
PMario ... > Here is a new version... > @Josiah ... Have a closer look at: bundle-plugins tiddler. I tested it on simple TWs. So far so good :-). Next I'll test it with copies of TWs I'm working in. Below comments and suggestions. *COMMENTS* 1 - IMO, I think it looks best under the "More" menu. 2 - Its great that The Bundler can bundle itself into a bundle :-). 3 - The filter examples with live testing are excellent. 4 - Of course one can already export to a JSON. But the key benefit with your Bundler is that you can create many selections, combinations, etc and keep them, they PERSIST. For some uses--where you are often moving things between TWs--it eases management a lot. 5 - It enhances EXPORT in general. Complex Exports get easier and can be built bit by bit (using the non-filtered list approach). When the Bundler is finished and known to be stable I'd recommend it to any new user to better understand the export mechanism. Its effectively a tutorial in it. 6 - Its a way to create persistent MANIFESTS that can be easily edited, added too or deleted, all in one place. For instance, it allows a user to curate collections of Tiddlers. Say one has created some SVG icons others might like, create a bundle of them. Then you make one more icon. You just add that one item to the bundle you already made. Updating lists is very easy. 7 - FWIW, one way I will use it is to LOG things I IMPORT I will want to delete later. Its one of the downsides of TW that its sometimes hard to know what you did when and this largely helps me address that in a simpler way. Its particularly relevant if you are "evolving" a TW, where you use various plugins & macros that later you won't need and want to get rid of. 8 - In the tests I have done so far it worked perfectly for transferring plugins. Impressive! 9 - I had trouble with it in a TW 5.1.13 with counts not appearing and it not exporting. I'm not sure why. *SUGGESTIONS* 10 - Provide an OPTION when creating a bundle to automatically include The Bundler itself (i.e. all the tiddlers that will enable bundling to work in the TW that will import the JSON). 11 - Can the "Bundle Tiddler" list always, by default, be included in the Export along with the actual items? 12 - Can "Bundle Tiddlers" have a DESCRIPTION field, that would display at the top, before the Tiddler text, when you viewed that Tiddler? Then one could add a brief note about what is in the Bundle. 13 - Is there an easy way to ADD the results of the last completed IMPORT Tiddler (i.e. Tiddlers listed in $:/Import after an import) to a special bundle called "Import Manifest", or some such, without having to do it manually? 14 - Can there be way to configure the Tiddler link "Search via a filter expression <http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Filters.html>" in Advanced Search to open your excellent $:/wikilabs/doc/table-all-filters, rather than go to TiddlyWiki.com? 15 - There are two misspellings of AdvancedSearch in $:/wikilabs/ui/ControlPanel/bundles-position as "AdvancesSearch", as well as "advances search". *BROADER THOUGHTS* 16 - Is there a way that the list of Tiddlers in a Bundle list could be passed to a BULK DELETE mechanism? My rationale here is that the Bundles will list Tiddlers for me that I may want to Export, but also, in the future, DELETE. Perhaps that's not quite a right thought here, but there is something about bundling which I suspect could make bulk procedures more generally easier? I hope this is clear. If anything is confusing let me know & I'll clarify. Best wishes Josiah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
