Yes. .... tiddler titile. .... once "alias" is a first class TW citizen. We need something that works out of the box. The tiddler title is the only thing atm, that fulfills the uniqueness requirement. So the tiddler title is the only thing, that can be used as a UUID. period. We just have to change the existing UI to deal with this. So we have to make sure, once a user flips the switch to UUIDs the "subtitle" or "aliases" field is filled with the tiddler title text. So the user can start to use the tiddler title as the UUID. ... I think UUIDs and human readable titles may even coexist. IMO it's primarily a UI and editor problem atm. I don't think a new uuid-field will be a real solution. > 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. > right. ----------------- About using timestamp to create UUIDs .. This is a solved problem. We shouldn't discuss it. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
