Great to see so much development on the commander plugin. It is a powerful tool.

You have a few threads going on about commander, so I hope I found the relevant one.

I like commander because you got many bulk operations in one module, but many times I prefer to use mats batch manipulator. The reason is that you get a table view and you quickly can get an overview of what tiddlers in your search has similar tags or fields. It gives a nice overview. That is important to me.

But now you got a very power fool toll in commander and a very nice table view in shiraz dynamic table. I think it could be a very nice tool, if you let the search form commander be presented in a dynamic table with fields or tags as columns (like batch manipulator). What do you think? Or is this maybe for another project?

Hi HC Haase,

 Commander has a tool called inspect!

From the tab click on Inspect. You can walk through each tiddler in your selection and not only you can see what are the tiddler content, tags and fields name/value, but also you can seamlessly edit them.

For using dynamic table I will see if it worth to replcae inspect with Dynamic table, but absolutely it is a good candidate for making tiddler preview before performing any operation.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate to receive any other comment you have when you evaluate commander!

That is true. I use separate thread to announce new features! but this may cause confusion!

I will keep this thread by stable release 2.

That also sounds nice.  The thing I was thinking of, was the list of tiddelers in your search.

If you replaced that list with a dynamiv table of the search showing either tags or fields as collumns

See the batch manipulator here:

[Mohammad]

If you don't mind, I like to have a look into your batch manupulator!

This means to remove Inspect! it dose not a summary view like above but it has the ease of view/edit in a nice format!

I am afraid things get complicated more!

But I will give a try to see how it looks like.

sounds nice. Another way cold be to use the table just for showing tidderls in the search, and there fields or tags, and then let comander do the rest.

exited to see what you cook up.

Ok, so it belongs to Mat! He has great plugins spread out over the net!

What I see in the screenshot you provided is different! Seems you have customized it!

No problem, let's see!

Ciao Mohammad & HC

Out of left field I'd like to comment sideways that SLOPING HEADERS are a very good idea! :-)  

Best wishes

[Mohammad]

I think the Powersearch + Dynamic Tables from Eric Shulman is what you want here!

But I am not sure if this configuration is good for Commander! I think it duplicate some ops and interface.

I don't think I have that much. Have you tried to press the button "Single data" on the batch manipulator?

what is Powersearch?

[Mohammad]

This is powersearch

http://tiddlytools.com/filtergenerators.html

By Eric Shulman!

He also published a small code to combine it with Dynamic Tables from Shiraz!

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/9oxP0TEWVHI/Wfrl238bAwAJ

So I think this is what you like.

I am not sure that is what I want. It is the visual overview of what tiddlers have the same fields or tags that I like in mat's tool.

To demonstrate what I would like to see I have made an example by modifying the commander. It DO NOT work properly, just for demo.

see attatchment for the modified tiddler.

I agree. this give so much more space. maybe an idea for dynamic table ;) ??  

[Mohammad]

Hi HC Haase,

 I got your point.

1. Shiraz dynamic table does not support checkbox yet
2. In most cases number of fields are high enough to cause table overflow and crosses the tiddler boundary and one needs extra scrollbar
3. By the way, I need first to improve the dynamic tables in Shiraz
4. and then see how to add it as an option to Commander.

At the moment I think Inspect is a simpler solution for preview before/after actions.

One more solution is to combine:

 Tiddlytables + Powersearch + batchmanupulator
