I think Tobias wanted to establish a new term "swarm" with his post. A swarm is a collection of tiddlers, that are "content only" tiddlers. ... but a swarm has some "magic behaviour attached"
At some point it would be really neat if it was possible to send ones swarm > looking for updates at home, returning back with updates ...without going > to the remote site to manually fetch them with a brailer. > In the first post, he suggested, to use the TiddlyWiki browser based plugin creation mechanism [1], to create a swarm. The problem with this mechanism (description) is, that it is a bit developer centric. So imo it got ignored in the rest of the thread, because plugins are collection of tiddlers, that are program tiddlers. At the time of his first post, there wasn't the TW export function. .. But now we have one! So if you want to create a tiddler collcetion just use the "export tiddler" button for single tiddlers. ... if you only need one tiddler. ... Which isn't a swarm :/ Solution (without the magic update stuff) ---------------------- If you open the "Advanced search panel: Filters tab" you can create your own collections. eg: [tag[TableOfContents]] If you use this in the filter field, you'll get a list of 12 tiddlers, that are tagged TableOfContents. To the right of the filter input field you get the "export tiddlers" button with 4 possibilities: - export as CSV - export as JSON - river of tiddlers as static HTML - a .tid file If you use JSON, you'll get a file "tiddlers.json" that can be directly imported into other TWs, with drag and drop from the file browser. If you want to call this "tiddlers.json" file a swarm, ... well ... then it is a swarm. I'd call it a "user defined collection", but "swarm" is less technical :)) ---- some more remarks to follow have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
