Permalinks/Permaview in TiddlyDesktop

[ste...@gmail.com]

Hi,

One feature I like a a lot about TiddlyWiki are permalinks and permaviews. This allows me to bookmark multiple different "story rivers" for the same TiddlyWiki or even to create an entire new story river by tag(s). 

However, due to the lack of an URL bar, those features don't work in TiddlyDesktop. Are there any workarounds?

Kind regards,

Stef

The funny thing is that despite not being showed in the address bar,they should work. Maybe an alternative would be to open different stories. What are you trying to achieve ?what do you miss

Example: In the browser, I often open a list of tiddlers I need for a particular project. Then, I create a persistent URL for this view with the "permaview" button, which I bookmark. This way, I can always access the same list of tiddlers through the bookmark.

(Of course, it's possible to achieve similar results via transclusion, tags, lists etc., but this takes more effort.)

Cheers,

Stef

I guess it's possible to copy the contents of $:/StoryList to another tiddler and then copy it back via <$action-setfield> later on. Has anybody already done something like this?

I did, but I can't find it.  I took the following approach...

The HOME button clears out the story and replaces it with the content of $:/DefaultTiddlers. What I did was, stash the current content somewhere else (for later), then copied another list of tiddlers (retrieved from MyOtherListOfTiddlers, for example) into $:/DefaultTiddlers. Later, I restored the content of $:/DefaultTiddlers from the stash.

Something like that.

Here is a first attempt:

http://stefct-resources.tiddlyspot.com/#Pick%20a%20Story%20List

Obvious drawback (unavoidable?): The saved story list always contains the tiddler "Pick a Story List".

For now, I decided to put the tiddler in the sidebar. Doesn't look pretty, but this might be the way to go, anyway.

Thank you for your suggestion!  I found it interesting to look into the mechanism behind the "HOME" button. However, I decided to write the new (saved) list of tiddlers directly to $:/StoryList.
