Yet another workflow, adaptation and video to check out

[David Gifford]

Hi everyone

I am really into my new (yes, another one!) workflow for notetaking from reading. It is faster than previous versions for what I like to grab from books.

Thanks for sharing David. I know it wasn't the central piece,  of your workflow video but I've learned much from your CSS modifications like "thinner frame" etc. that this shows and your previous plugin spends time on. I appreciate you taking the time to post these :)

Thanks for taking the time to share this David - it's always great to see new workflows.

I will likely steal your "current source" idea!

David,

Thanks for sharing. Not only do I gain insight into how others use tiddlywiki, but I also see the opportunity to help (if you like it)

See my copy title or copy text buttons attached. It adds buttons in the view toolbar, however you can also include them in lists, such as your list of sources in the sidebar

Like this; but using the ".source" tag.

<$list filter="[all[]!is[system]]">

{{||$:/PSaT/button/copy-text}} {{||$:/PSaT/button/copy-title}}<$link/><br>

</$list>

But of course you could make one to copy the "source div" containing the current title (like your toolbar button)

Regards

Tones

Hi Tones! Thanks for thinking of this and coming up with this for me! Your buttons got me thinking: could you tweak the copy-text-title button so that rather than copying the title, it replaces the text of $:/.giffmex/Current.source.text with the title of the tiddler? That way I could open my list search, click a button, and have it be the current source. No pasting necessary. I poked around at it, but your code is beyind my abilities to decipher.

And, just to be sure you hear me say it, the buttons as they are, are very cool! Thanks again.

David,

You could copy a title and place it in any tiddler. A small extension I have intended to add for a while is to as a rule when copying to the "system clipboard" to also capture this in a tiddler for immediate reuse if necessary, so I just did it, import the attached JSON. I have also demonstrated the use of the value in {{$:/HistoryList!!current-tiddler}} by providing a last tiddler display under the search in the side bar. If installed the copy text and title button macro's are also used.

If you look inside the copy text and title tiddlers you will see something like the following;

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/pastebox/title" text={{!!title}}/>

I recommend copying this line and in the macro and modifying it for your target tiddler eg; $:/.giffmex/Current.source/title

FYI: I store all my macros under [prefix[$:/PSaT]]

The recently edited or navigated to tiddler is what appears in the "last-tiddler", I have another package called focused tiddler (which others do not like the name of) which also displays the full history of activity in the current wiki session. Ay some point I may extend last-tiddler to list N tiddlers and also capture the titles of tiddlers that we close, so reopening closed tiddlers is easy.

So happy to help David
