Hi Rich, > Your Tiddler <http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Tobias%20Beer> turns to mush > when dragged and dropped to my TW. >
Well, that's pretty obvious if you grab one that constructs its contents via the list macro or something making use of that. ^^ Not quite sure why you'd actually import it. I could possibly make a ListOfTBStuffPlugin but then I don't quite see how interesting that would be. A swarm would surely come-in handy here for you to grab those tids. Yesterday I was grabbing something on Delete Button in ViewMode > <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Ftobibeer.github.io%2Ftb5%2F%23Delete%2520Button%2520In%2520ViewMode&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNF-OBKVbYOmy0a-FfOfJB_UBqvrAA> > there > was a transclusion that didn't come with the Tiddler and it was a TOBIAS > WARNING so it was important. > Yes, that's pretty much what I need to do, if I want to be able to reuse these things. Maybe, one day, dragging a reference that transcludes stuff will actually create those adhoc-swarms pulling along all the other pieces that are required for the thing to nearly render the way you see it. > My question is a bigger one that I was not being specific with you(Tobias) > but since I grab your stuff the most I seem to witness it the most with > your stuff. > I can sure see how that's happening. > Jed's stuff does it to me as well. > Perhaps you're expecting a little (too) much. After all, you're moving about another site and expect to just grab stuff and repurpose. It's not that I am against that, but did you ever try that on some other conventional site? ^^ So, manually figuring out what's missing and then getting that "stuff" is actually easily done... you just need to pay a little closer attention to what it is you actually want.

Oftentimes, you can just grab that filter as declared for some list and there you have your "dependencies". As for dependencies on macros or plugins, that's not as easy... you need to know or figure out "how things tick". You really need to know what is being used and figure out where it's coming from... or ask. Something like Tiddler + Macro and Tiddler + Transclusion and Tiddler + > Other Stuff?(Not sure how that would be formatted) > The JSON method for import is AMAZING and I am working on that more and > more everyday. > You see, I'm thinking so long as that author of the stuff you'd like to get isn't telling you how to easily get it... maybe it's simply not designed to be easily gettable... but just to be "consumable" as is. I mean, after all, you can always link to that content, rather than copy-pasta. > I was actually trying to avoid importing all the Tiddlers so I guess I can > export the Tiddler as an HTML and import it into mine but that will bloat > my TW code. > Precisely. So, do you really need all that... and, if so, why and in which form? Is is possible to use TiddlyClip <http://tiddlyclip.tiddlyspot.com/> to > import all the necessary stuff somehow? > It would be as difficult for TiddlyClip as it would be for any other TiddlyFoo, core or plugin or whichever.
