First, a question: What is this $:/trashbin stuff? Is this a tiddlywiki feature I'm unaware of, or is it something to do with an unrelated plugin? Depending on which it is, it takes a different approach. If this is some core features, then Relink should ignore it by default. If it's a plugin something, then the plugin should have a way to integrate with Relink and exclude $:/trashbin without the user needing to input anything.
Next. I'm having a little trouble following your use-case, but sounds like not just the ability to select which tiddlers are eligible for relinking, but to make it possible for the eligible tiddlers to vary *depending on the tiddler being renamed*. And I'm unclear, but it sounds like not only that, but you want to be able to configure which fields, macros, widgets, and operators get updated per tiddler. So a `person-office` list field might get updated on tiddler A, but not tiddler B. I'll be honest with you, TonyM. These sounds like super advanced use cases. I'm very concerned that encoding Relink to handle all this will detract from Relink's elegance. It already has four whitelists which I'm worried daunt casual users. But how about this. Let's say Relink had one "General" configuration page which allowed you to input an ignore filter. Tiddlers that pass through that filter will not be updated. But here's the cool part. The currentTiddler variable for that filter is set to the name of the tiddler being renamed (or maybe it'll be set to fromTiddler, and there'll be toTiddler). That way, a user can make the filter sensitive to the tiddler being renamed, and adjust what tiddlers would pass through the filter. Would this be a solution for your problem? And if you still need more sophistication than that, I'd more likely say the solution would be to improve Relink's hackability, so we can make a mod for your specific case, but your case does sound super specific. (Or maybe it isn't. I haven't gotten much feedback from anyone yet.) -Flibbles -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
