Mat You do understand what I was asking for well. Your solution is quite elegant. I will explore it further shortly.
However the path I took, led me to reflect on the singular system name space of $:/ and it's features. This has led me to ask how does this name space come about and could we create others with similar or different behaviours? this is quite conceptual, please forgive me. A related example I will be releasing in future is a package that enhances the standard search which currently ignores system tiddlers or parts there of their title. An example is control panel. Imagin if the $:/contolPanel tiddler has a field system-tiddler containing "control panel" which the standard search also searches then a plain English search will point the user to a system tiddler designed to be opened in its own right. The same could be done for macros and plugin tiddlers and shadow tiddlers that we want a user to find. This would be a cross namespace feature. However I would like to know if I can build another namespace like _ which would hide _fieldname tiddlers unless I used the above system-caption or asked is[fieldname] like I can is[system]. While I have tried to give a specific example here my ideas are based on deeply considered opportunities that could provide some very powerful outcomes. One is an alternative to shadow tiddlers since the name is taken, the working title I have is ghost tiddler e.g. $:/ghost/tiddlername where every standard tiddler or select tiddlers can have a ghost tiddler which can contain metadata about the tiddlername. Just as I would like any tiddler, that is also a fieldname to have a ghost tiddler that contains information that a field definition may require e.g. a tooltip for that fieldname, or a filter used to determine the values available to set that fieldname to and more. I hope I make sense. TW tones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
