I often keep copies of your new macro packages on my hd. To spare space
I truncate the TW html to the content divs : it works to import in a
full TW file.

That makes me think about a feature I'd apreciate.

As many here, I suppose, I've several TW notebooks. In each I put links
to the others.

What if TW has an engine (js and CSS) and tow (div wagons) operating
mode ?
Your notebooks would be stored as div only. You would have only one TW
engine working to which you would tow either one notebook, either the
other.

Like one binder in which tou insert either this doc either this one ?

Spare space if on a stick. Much lighter for auto backups (now I'm about
150 meg a day !)


Am I clear ?
Does it make sense ?

I think it makes sense. It would make it easier to upgrade the engine,
since it would be updated once independently from how many different
notebooks you have. How do you save

It would also save precious bandwidth if you have several on a website.
By the way, if you publish your notebooks on the web, it's good to note
that Apache's server side include (SSI) can be used to concatenate the
engine that you keep in one file and all your different notebooks in
other files.

A great feature for TW or plugin would be to be able to load external
tiddlers. Loading a tiddler could be taken from Eric Schulman's
excellent import tiddler macros. What's missing however is that when
saving your notebook, you should save the imported tiddlers where they
originally belong.

The engine (the JS and CSS) could actually be a Firefox extension.  It has auto-updating builtin. That would be perfect for personal use. Any takers on making a Firefox extension.

has anyone tried to just yank the javascript and css into seperate files?  I gave it about 5 minutes this morning and it wasn't working but didn't have any time to investigate why...

Wow. If someone made TW into a Firefox extension, that would be
awesome! Unfortunately, I don't have the expertise to try it myself....

If you wander over to http://www.astrosmo.unam.mx/~a.watson/, you will
find examples of TWs that split the contents, JavaScript, and CSS into
separate files. I do this so that the JavaScript and CSS (which do not
change frequently) can be cached independently of the contents (which
do).

Regards,

Alan
