problem: image tiddlers remain as orphans when linked from without

[Damián Gil]

Hi to all.

I'm a non-technical user of Stroll. It's great, but I have a problem.

I am a heavy image user. I make lots of image tiddlers that link to external images via canonical uris. The problem is that when I make a link to an image tiddler from another tiddler like this:

[img[Vanessa Williams]]

the tiddler named "Vanessa Williams", which is an image tiddler, remains an orphan. That is an undesired behaviour in my case. I want to see images in the middle of text tiddlers, comment the images, etc. But if an image can be seen from another tiddler, I would like the corresponding image tiddler to dissapear from the orphans list. The reason is that I would like my orphan list to be really composed of tiddlers that have no links to the main wiki.

Any ideas?

Surprisingly Easily!

After digging around for a bit, I found this system tiddler that drives the list of Orphans (specifically in the More>>Orphans tab):

$:/core/Filters/Orphans  

Search for that in the "Shadows" tab of Advanced Search. Open it, click to edit and change the contents to this:

[all[orphans]!has[_canonical_uri]sort[title]]


Also, when crafting your own filters, use the !has[] operator to remove all tiddlers that have external canonical uris. You can add more logic to filter out only image types if you want.

Best,

Thanks. The problem with your solution is that the image tiddlers which really ARE orphans (they haven't been linked from any other tiddler) don't show on the orphans list.
