Shadow tiddlers are special system tiddlers. They are there, that users can change the default behaviour. ... But if something goes wrong, the user can just delete the modified tiddler and the system tiddler will take over again.
TiddlyWiki always used this behaviour as a "backup" feature. .. That's one reason, why it is so "tweakable". Plugin can overwrite core shadow tiddlers. If this is done, the "core" tiddler is not active anymore. The plugin tiddler takes over. ... By default plugins don't have a special order but if the plugin.info file defines a "dependents" array, the core takes care about the startup order. I'm not sure, if the default activation order is alphabetical but it would be easy to test, or have a look at the core code. see: "dependents": ["$:/themes/tiddlywiki/snowwhite"] from the readonly theme. So snowwhite is activated first and readonly just has to change the differences. hope that helps mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
