I have to say, I stopped following the tread, after my first post, as I saw Jeremy is involved, and the discussion seemed to be "heated". ... I wanted to wait a bit and see what happens. ... You know, I tend to produce "wall of texts", if I have a "strong opinion". ... So may be now is the time to have a second look ;) --------------- I think it would be quite easy to extend uni-link to provide references to > GUID's effectivly a GUID will be an Alias to a tiddler with a created date > (uniquified) > I'm in favor of a "GUI like" approach. As I pointed out I use "tiddler-titles-like-this", "likeThis" or "oneLike.this" ... because I like to type a search ".this" ... Which will find all tiddlers that start with "(dot)this". ... I also pointed out, that creating good tiddler names is difficult. .. They should be - easy to remember by humans - simple to type by humans - no special UI should be needed. __So__ I don't like GUIS. They are none of the above, because of their nature. ... All we need then is a GUID based on the Created date/time and miliseconds > decremented to be unique. > nope ... risk of duplicates is too high to be truly unique, even if you go down to the miliseconds.
