Hiding System Tags with custom tiddlys?

[Matthew Willoughby]

Hi,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have a some macros tagged with $:/tags/Macro and a palette with $:/tags/Palette

They work as expected, however now $:/tags/Macro and $:/tags/Palette show up in the tag picker when editing a tiddly (but not in the tag manager) and in "[tags[]]".

Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to remove $:/tags/* from the tag picker/what should a filter should I use to just get normal tags?

Thanks

Hi Matthew,

 

They work as expected, however now $:/tags/Macro and $:/tags/Palette show up in the tag picker when editing a tiddly (but not in the tag manager) and in "[tags[]]".

As for me, system tags should not be displayed in the main view-template but only in the info tab. Being mostly about content, TiddlyWiki should not expose these ui / design / setup features as if content.

 

Is there a reason for this?

Sure, the idea is that if you used a system tag once, chances are you may want to use it twice. Also, they only show below any standard tags.

Is there a way to remove $:/tags/* from the tag picker

 

Unfortunately, that stuff is buried somewhat deep in $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags and unless this is really very important to you, I'd rather advise you to not fiddle with templates like that ...and risk not getting core updates on this component in a later release.

what filter should I use to just get normal tags?

The same, while adding: !is[system]

Best wishes,

Tobias.

this rather recent issue may be of interest to you:

I decided to create a new issue for this:

#2218 remove SystemTags from ViewTemplate/tags

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2218

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Tobias, 

Great replies, thanks so much for the info and links!

I understand the reasoning now, but I agree with you that the main view should focus on content. Maybe a compromise could be hide all system tags until you type $:/ as per twMat's suggestion. 

Thanks for the help,

Matt
