[TW5] One click delete tiddlers

[Bob Flandard]

Hi,

Tobias Beer has created this macro to delete tiddlers via a filter list. That's nice, but can it be modified to delete them all will a single mouse click?

Maybe using the checkbox widget with the default being all items in the list are checked and can be individually unchecked if required. If that's too difficult then just a single button next to the filter results list.

Thanks, Bob

Hi Riz,

Wow! you work quickly. Thanks very much, that works like a charm.

Here try this code, this will give you the original functionality you asked for, ie checked checkboxes, and if you want to exclude something, just uncheck it. There is a slight difference in the filter syntax. DO NOT use the outer brackets. ie, if your normal filter is [tag[HelloThere]], just give tag[HelloThere]

\define listflter() [$(basefilter)$]
\define exclude()
[is[tiddler]$(basefilter)$] -[exclusionstatus[exclude]]
\end

<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/delete-filter" tag="input" placeholder="enter a filter" default="" size=50/>
<$reveal state="$:/temp/delete-filter" type="nomatch" text="">
<$button class="tc-btn-invisible">
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/delete-filter" $field="text" $value=""/>
{{$:/core/images/close-button}}
</$button>
</$reveal>

<$set name="basefilter" value={{$:/temp/delete-filter}}>

<$reveal state="$:/temp/delete-filter" type="nomatch" text="">

<$list filter=<<listflter>>>

<$checkbox field="exclusionstatus" checked="include" unchecked="exclude" default="include">{{!!title}}</$checkbox>
</$list>
</$reveal>

<$button>Delete Selected
<$list filter=<<exclude>>>
<$action-deletetiddler $filter=<<exclude>>/>
</$list>
<$list filter="[has[exclusionstatus]]">
<$action-setfield $field="exclusionstatus"/>
</$list>
</$button>
</$set>

Hi Riz,

Please forgive my dimness, but I had no idea what subreddit was. So I googled it and then googled reddit... and I still have no idea. In my defense I was born in the 60s and I don't do Twitter or Facebook or LinkIn (if they're related). My completed work is all yours, except for a minor edit to the <<now>> format.

Sorry for being such a Luddite, but thanks again for taking the time so solve my problems will such lovely elegant code.

All the best, Bob

 Hi Bob

Sorry I missed the address. There is a subreddit dedicated to TW5 at https://www.reddit.com/r/TiddlyWiki5/
We are creating a directory of all tiddlywikis posted on the group, to let others know how different people are using TW5. Normally | copy and paste the link from the group, but I would much appreciate it if the original authors posted it themselves. Creating a reddit acc is a matter of 2mins, as it asks for no kind of verification.
