Per request starting a new thread since that last one was paginating in public.

Vsn. 0.0.9 adds the ability to suppress the left hand fold control while still being in edit mode.

@TT -- You mentioned wanting to turn off splitting everywhere. Note that if you put in your own split string (e.g. zzzzzzz) that can't possibly be in your text, this effectively does the same thing.

Vsn 0.0.10 is now out. This version allows you to combine the next X tiddlers into the current tiddler/section. Note that you can not reset this change (so don't use the 'reset' button afterwards). I suppose I should add that to the documentation some time.  Combining tiddlers means that you can work with a block of text as separate tiddlers, then pack them back together when you're finished. Combining tiddlers is also useful when you want to move a group of tiddlers somewhere else in the document.

This will probably be the last major change. It looks and works good enough for my needs at the moment. It would be nice to hear if people are using it at all.

Thanks!

I am not sure exactly what this means or see any description of this? Am I missing something?

Love your work

When you edit an element, and click on the cog, you'll get a pop-up menu. One of the choices (the bottom one) is for combining X number of following tiddlers. Documentation is lagging, but I think it's mostly intuitive.

Thanks!

TW Tones,

Just try editing a tiddler/section.To the right you have the save and the control button. Click the control. Look at the bottom line  Combine next (number) items.

I already know I will love this option when finishing my writings.

@Mark,

Thank you so much for all your work. You have made it easy to use. Despite the many options it looks so simple.
"How To Use NotoWritey" also demonstrate how good it works for writing stuff like that.

The need to write is a need we all have. I think all that have not given this a try yet, should do it now.

Birthe

Thanks I was playing with it but I can't change the items number, perhaps the items button should be named "merge items" or something.

Hi Mark,

I tried it for the first time the other day and will have an opportunity to use it again later.
I used it to split a lengthy tiddler and found it really good - especially the ability to choose where I wanted to make the splits by inserting my own expression.
Need to use it more to find my way around.

Regards
Jon

Hi Tony,

For some reason, tc-popup-keep isn't working right. Guess I'll make a post about that. Maybe I'm expecting too much from it and will have to change everything out. When I was developing, I used a select list, but at the last moment decided that would be too limiting and put in the edit box.

Thanks!

Feature Request:

Sorry, I haven't read all threads about this so this might be a repeat, but...

It would be nice if the little "+" and "-" only appeared if there were levels present to be hidden or revealed.  Right now I go to the main TW and click away on them not knowing if the line below is "part" of the one you're clicking on and most of the time the button doesn't actually do anything.  I'm a little "UI-retarded" so stuff like that is always helpful.

Marks,

Hm. When tc-popup-keep is working, the popup floats totally out to the left. Something to do with the node-edit-settings?

Do you mean when you change the code yourself? Or is it doing it straight out of the box? In which case, a screenshot might help.

Thanks!

Mark S,

I tried myself.
As you know I do not know much about things like that - and I might have broken other things in doing so.
But you can try it yourself.

I tried to attach the file.

Ok, vsn 0.0.10a is out, and hopefully actually works!

Thanks everyone for your patience! Special thanks to Saq for help with the broken popup!

FYI I promised feedback & will give it. Just delayed a bit yet. Noto is excellent.

A dopo

Vsn 0.0.11 is out. It only displays the "-" when the item is foldable. This should hopefully provide a cleaner interface.

Thanks!
