Folks, Some of you would be aware I have had a few problems of late with upgrading tiddlywiki. The solution was to get rid of some overwitten shadow tiddlers.
I had no idea how this had occurred. But suspect I do now. However I just noted this; In a new empty.html use the advanced search filter [haschanged[]] and this is the result - *$:/library/sjcl.js* - *$:/boot/bootprefix.js* - *$:/boot/boot.js* - *$:/boot/boot.css* - *$:/core* - *$:/isEncrypted* - *$:/themes/tiddlywiki/snowwhite* - *$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla* - *$:/temp/info-plugin* - *$:/status/RequireReloadDueToPluginChange* - *$:/StoryList* - *$:/HistoryList* - *$:/state/tab--1498284803* - $:/temp/advancedsearch *Are most of these not "false positives"?* *Now I must ask the question why are all these flagged as has changed?,* especially since many are shadow tiddlers only, or plugins such as core? Note: I regularly exclude with -[prefix[$:/temp]] -[prefix[$:/state]] -$:/StoryList -$:/HistoryList I have used the has changed filter to export and re-import tiddlers when my server or saver has failed in someway, clearly if I do this I import and overwrite these tiddlers, a subsequent upgrade will keep them, and seems to throw errors and the resulting wiki may be broken. I also discovered on bob I need to exclude the following or I will also may be in grief; - -[prefix[$:/Bob]] - -[prefix[$:/ServerIP]] - -[prefix[$:/WikiSettings]] Now I understand these bob tiddlers may need to change. *However* In all wikis you can see using the haschanged operator to escape problems with the saving mechanisium is asking from trouble. Perhaps; We could add a filter that does not list haschanges that are not as above and allows plugins such as bob to register tiddlers that should not be considered when trying to export changes. Excluding system tiddlers is not enough if someone is editing system tiddlers even just configuration tiddlers. The following would work if these false positives where not occurring. [haschanged[]] -[prefix[$:/temp]] -[prefix[$:/state]] -$:/StoryList -$:/HistoryList -[prefix[$:/Bob]] -[prefix[$:/ServerIP]] -[prefix[$:/WikiSettings]] Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
