Hey Mario, I'm not sure whats going on, but since I upgraded I've had some problems. Whenever I try to use an alias that has a capital letter, it no longer works, regardless of how the aliases field is defined. In other words:
- tiddler My Friend has aliases: *Test*, from tiddler B I type: [[*Test*|?]] - Does *NOT* work - tiddler My Friend has aliases: *Test*, from tiddler B I type: [[*test*|?]] - works - tiddler My Friend has aliases: *test*, from tiddler B I type: [[*Test*|?]] - Does *NOT* work - tiddler My Friend has aliases: *test*, from tiddler B I type: [[*test*|?]] - works Have I missed something?
