Mark,

I just checked and I was still using version 5.1.17. I upgraded to the most 
recent and now it works: every time I click new journal, I get a new 
journal with the updated time.

Thank you very much.


Tony,

My specific use case is that I want to add quotes from a book as separate 
tiddlers, without having to come up with new titles for each of them.

For example I would want a button that creates a tiddler "The Hobbit/Quote 
1", then "The Hobbit/Quote 2" etc.

How could I get the following to append a new number each time, in the same 
way as the new tiddler button?

\define tags_value() [[$(currentTiddler)$]]

<$button>
<$wikify name=title_value text="{{!!title}}/Quote" >
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<title_value>> tags=<<
tags_value>> />
New Quote
</$wikify>
</$button>

Thanks for your help, si
