Uups. you are right. If 2 aliases contain the same value. Both of them are shown. .. Worst case all the time :/ ... That's why indexing should be able to help us here. ...

The new "tag" and "field" indexes, are created automatically from the core. There is some javascript involved. I don't think we can make those options "user facing", since you need deep knowledge of the internal "store structure". And you'll probably always need specialized code. -m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
