Drag & drop of plugins not working quite right

[Damon Pritchett]

Hey TiddlyWiki gurus,

I've noticed a problem lately where, when I drag and drop a plugin from someone, only the top level summary tiddler is being imported and not the contents of the plugin. I'm not exactly sure when this started, but it is quite annoying. It's not too bad when a plugin has a small number of associated tiddlers, but some have a very large number and I have to drag and drop everyone of them into my TW. Any thoughts on why this may be happening and how to fix it? One observation I've noticed is that the orange bar at the top of my TW was missing for a long time, but now that it's back (why I do not know), all parts of a plugin are not being imported. Help, please.

Thanks,

Damon

A TiddlyWiki *plugin* is actually a container for multiple tiddlers.  Thus, when you drag-and-drop a plugin to your tiddlywiki, it will only show that one "top level summary tiddler" in the import list.  For most plugins you need to save-and-reload after importing in order for the plugin to actually be unpacked and all its "parts" installed.

enjoy,

Thanks for the reminder, Eric. I had completely blanked on that.
