What is the easiest way to save/clone an active (full) TW as an empty TW with all its plugins/settings?

Hello!

Am I the first in need of more than one TW? ;)
Maybe there is already a function or an plugin doing this?

Thanks!

Hi,

You could use the bundler plugin [1]. It allows you to export any combination of plugins and content tiddlers as a xxx.json file. These files can be drag and drop imported to a newly downloaded empty.html file.

It should get you started very fast, once you did manage to configure your bundles.

have fun!

A quick and dirty approach that will usually work. You could copy your original file, and then in the copy make a tiddler $:/kill

<$button>SCRUB
<$action-deletetiddler $filter="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]]"/>
</$button>

Be sure to close this tiddler so that it's title is $:/kill and not "New tiddler ..." or "Draft of ...".

Press the button and all non-shadow tiddlers that are not system tiddlers will be deleted.

Your plugins are usually shadows, and so won't be deleted.

Your configuration are usually system tiddlers, and so won't be deleted.

BUT, you may have excess system tiddlers that aren't for configuration that will be retained. And if you have any required additional macros that were not shadows and not system then they will be zapped.

Good luck,
Mark
