[TW5] Question and suggestion about importing tiddler file.

[CL]

I realized when I import tiddler to wiki, the imported tiddler automatically overwrites existing tiddler with same title.

There is a warning when I try to create tiddler with same title. Asking me if I want to overwrite it.

Is there any way of applying this rule when I import tiddler?

I personally think that this feature should be provided with default setting.

You're right.

TiddlyWiki Classic had a warning when importing tiddlers that listed which ones would be overwritten.  Given the warnings for overwriting shadow tiddlers and manually overwriting tiddlers when creating new ones or renaming existing ones, the lack of a warning dialog before $:/Import launches into action seems an oversight.

Hi CL,

Yes, that appears to be rather important

and I'm a bit astonished it isn't there yet.

I went ahead and created an issue here:

#2240 import status for existing tiddlers

Best wishes,

Tobias.
