However, can you comment the following: - I can understand someone could want a tiddler to be as long as needed, but do you really want to scroll down the sidebar? - automatic size means the size will change when you move around and zoom, which will incur 2 things I did not like on emkay's implementation: - the items you were looking at before moving sideways, move up/down on their own as more/less items get in the time range, sometimes they get out of view even. It is sometimes a hassle to find where they went, much so when you cannot scroll easily without risking to actually change the zoom and thus make the items move more (I must be clumsy). At least, with a fixed boxing, your item stays put, even if it is shown on the bottom of the timeline (which can move a lot otherwise). - the same timeline can be only a few dozen pixels long, then several pages long, in just a few scrolls. wow. If you place your mouse inadvertently on the timeline while scrolling down to see what is below, you might actually change the zoom again...

But that might not be enough. I propose to display this information more clearly with the nav buttons, or maybe on the background. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
