Mario, I am in total agreement on your approach to titles and have no problem with these myself.
What I am trying to say is can we make a field that containes a unique id stored in a field for any (not nessasarily every) tiddler that is independant of its name. If such a field existed I am sure a minor addition to the uni-links plugin would allow tiddlers to be located via this permanent reference and render its caption, title or alias. Let me clarify the use of the created date. I doubt even with a bulk import, I cant imagin more than 1,000 tiddlers being created in a second. Modification of the create code can ensure no tiddler has a created date equal to another, by incrementing the milliseconds until unique, almost certianly only one millisecond more would do it. This would also guarentee the ability to sort tiddlers in the exact order of creation. I stand to be corrected but I do not see the complications you raise. It seems very scalable to me because it does not require a single byte more. Nor would it likely impact transfered tiddlers. In fact it would be effectivly invisible except when someone wants a unique id, it will simply be there already. It seems to me if solutions can be developed where even references can be made to tiddlers for which even the title is mutable we may even find ourselves with tools for translation or natural language processing. Such a unique id may allow audit trails or export and reimport such that we could even restore renamed tiddlers. This is an abstract algorithmic idea for sure but I expect they are of interest to you. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
