The Tips Section --- Features in TW its worth knowing about ...

[Mohammad]

Hi Josiah,
Wonderful things. I didn't know it, recently I learned it from TonyM.
This feature is really handy.
I also learned from Eric Shulman, you can drag and drop one will on another one and update the one receives the second.

But could you keep these praying for example these posts a week and a half people the shatter their tips and trick.

Here's a recent one:

Take Thomas Elmiger's explanation of using the haschanged filter,

I usually don’t need state tiddlers and temporary info (often set by the system, not by the user), so I have these two installed as additional filters in my Advanced search filter collection:

[!prefix[$:/state]!prefix[$:/temp]![$:/StoryList]![$:/HistoryList]haschanged[]!sort[modified]]

[has[modified]!prefix[$:/state]!prefix[$:/temp]!sort[modified]limit[50]]

and then TonyM's explanation for using it as an emergency save,

It is perfect for an emergency save, like list everything changed since I loaded it this morning. Export to JSON, restore from last working version and import the json.

I imagine you will have something like this to use in the Advanced Search filter tab:

[![$:/StoryList]![$:/HistoryList]haschanged[]!sort[modified]]

Perhaps this would not count as a "not so widely known"key thing - still - interesting.

For instance if you drag-n-drop a Tag between wiki ALL the tiddlers under that Tag can get imported.

Did you know that?

Do you have other hot tips?

Best wishes

All I would add is don't limit them at all. Remember it is the number of tiddlers changed, not the number of changes to tiddlers, Perhaps we could invent a plugin to suggest a save and reload with a popup if the haschanged returned a 100 changed tiddlers?.

Tony,

 Have you seen this:

Mohammad,

Yes, I have played with this - but I thought it increments in a session but the number is saved and continues, is not reset on reload, as the document implies. I need to recheck this.

I played with it for version control, I save the change count when I stamp it with a new version number. Thus I could determine if the tiddler has changed since the last version stamp.

Actually this is a timely reminder, as this will help me with a solution I may be able to develop professionally for a client. My first ever possibility of being paid to play with TiddlyWiki.

Its a more advanced method of detecting is something was modified recently. 

I imagine it is change count that haschanged[] uses.

Regards

Tony

That does count. Its useful to know.

My point was "simple" things that are not so widely known.
