Reid, Thanks for considering my input. I am still in the steep learning curve of TiddlyWiki5 development so I cant add too much to technical methods, I can express what I would love to see but not so good at providing code solutions. Hence my other contributions to the community, like testing and review.
I see the Icon is being displayed :) On Place a list anywhere. What I was thinking was having a macro that presents a list of drag-able tiddlers, like a single column on your board. This would allow a user to work on a single column, and jump to the board when needing to move between columns. Also I am personally working on something I call "Object Tiddlers" with tabs inside a single tiddlers, and perhaps it would be possible to tiddlers drag between list/tabs and a tiddler list in each tab. These are inspirational ideas that would be great but you already have a compelling solution. Importing tiddlers, I suspect importing tiddlers into a list may be complex and as I described there is a practical work around, drag, import and drag into board from import list. I like your approach to relying on TiddlyWiki's standard features. I will remain open to assist within my skills.
