Hi Felix

GREAT WORK!!! :-P 

Thank you for making those vidoes and congratulations!

I've already mailed links to your videoes to family and collegues who might benefint from TiddlyMaps.

These videoes are so well made and instructive that I'm sure that everyone also people who are not acquainted with TiddlyWiki, will understand and instantly see how they can benefit from using it!

Sound is fine too :-)

One thing is missing though: a link to a demo site and simple instructions on how to download it.

Your demo site could use the help plugin from the repo and show the demo vidoes on site.

Cheers Måns Mårtensson

Hi Måns,

thank you very much for your feedback and for the kind words :)

Good point. I'll put a link in the descriptions of the videos. I'll also link to the videos from the tiddlymap demo site.

Hi Felix

Great introduction to an excellent product. No problem with the audio. Maybe consider a complementary showcase video sometime in the future?

Thanks for all your hard work on this. Much appreciated.

Hi Felix,

that is so cool. Thanks for TiddlyMap (I use it all the time) and thanks
for the videos ;)

Hi Peter

Great introduction to an excellent product.

Many thanks!

You mean where I show how people use tiddlymap for their work?

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Andreas,

thanks :) nice to hear that it is useful to you!

-Felix

[Peter Miller]

Yes. There are already some great examples already and I'm sure many others will be forthcoming.

Yes. There are already some great examples already and I'm sure many others will be forthcoming.

I know of Daniel's MedNotes which is great but I am not aware of other examples that exist. But when there is a fair amount of showcases, I'll definitely mention them at the demo site and it probably also makes sense to have them summarized in a short video.

Hi Felix

I have two questions for you. 

1) How to setup edge types that will show up automatically and work from existing field values?

Explanation:

 

I'm using Roma Hicks' GSD5* which sets and manages different states and relationships to other tiddlers via custom fields. 

Example:

gsd_complete:"true or false", gsd_contact:"Tiddler name for contact", gsd_project:"Tiddler name for parent project", gsd_realm:"Tiddler name for realm", gsd_status:"next, waiting or future", gsd_type:"project or action".

I'd like to setup edges like the tmap:link or the tmap:tag, which will point from the tiddler specified in gsd_realm, in gsd_project and to the tiddler specified in the value gsd_contact - and I'd like to distinguish them with a different label and colours depending on values from gsd_complete and gsd_status.

Thanks to your excellent configuration tools I've managed to create different Views based on those field values already - What I don't understand is how to setup edgetypes which will show automatically...   

2) Is it possible to make it optional to save window state (half screen, whole screen or normal)?

I'd love to be able to save the sidebar TiddlyMap window state to be able to share a link to the wiki and a reader would see it either full screen or half screen.

I guess this is restricted by browsers in the same way that TiddlyWikis own full screen mode is - however if if *is* possible to save one of these states between sessions - that would be a very nice feature - i.m.o...  

Thank you for a great plugin! :-)

I am afraid, this is not possible at the moment but the design of
TiddlyMap 0.7.x should allow it to be implement. I created an issue for
this here: https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap/issues/129

> 2) Is it possible to make it optional to save window state (half

Also not possible yet but nice idea. I created an issue here:
https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap/issues/130

> Thank you for a great plugin! :-)

Thanks

By the way Mans would you mind if I at some point use your tiddlywiki
jingle in one of my future tiddlymap videos, of course giving you credit
:) ?

[Måns]

Great! Thank you very much Felix

Off course - Yes please do! 

I will be very happy if you can use it :-)

Hi Mans,

1) How to setup edge types that will show up automatically and work from existing field values?

this will be supported soon. I am only writing docs for this and then I'll report back.
Do you have a github account so I can simply notify you?

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello Felix,

Is not the same that we have chat about? Are you sure that it was any issue filed for this?

[Felix Küppers]

Hola!

Yes, its the same thing we talked about I also linked to our discussion in the topic: https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap/issues/129

For anybody who needs help installing or configuring TiddlyMap,
here is another recent video:

Hello Felix,

Maybe could you change the Licence YouTube standard to the Creative Commons instead ? If we want to share it or remix for example ? (but yes it's only CC By)

Hi Sylvain

Yes, I thought about that too. However, while being a big fan of open
resources in general, I am also sceptical of licensing something under
Creative Commons where I make personal appearances. So I deliberately
want to keep it a bit restrictive.

In any case, as far as I understand, Youtube's default legal terms allow
you to share and embed without needing to ask for permission (10.1.B -
https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms). Also in terms of fair
use you should be able to present the work in a non commercial,
educational setting -- which is totally fine with me unless it is used
in digital media course where the teacher uses the video as an example
for bad screencasts :D
