tag renaming

[cangaroo joe]

In case I want to modify (rename) a mistyped tag which is linked to ex. 100 tiddlers, because there is no tag renaming feature implemented, how can I change the tags' names so not to damage the well functionality of my TW5 file? If I delete the selected tag I think it will be unlinked from those 100 tiddlers... Should I create the correct tag and manually attach the tag name in each those 100 tiddlers?

Either save the file and use your favourite text editors search and replace function.

Or check Albertononi trick I showcase on http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/ in the tiddler "RenameTags". Simply drag that tiddler to your wiki.

BTW: As you did not mention [TW5] or [TWc] in your subject (note: you should do that), I simply assume you use TW5.

Hi

Thanks to Steohen and Alberto, I'm successfully using RenameTags from http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/.  I am using as is pasted directly from the TW5 Magick page.

I have two minor questions tho.

1. I don't see the tag name when I use the procedure. What I see it "1^st. Apply the tag to the following tiddlers". I am wondering what I'm doing wrong.
2. It seems counterintuitive to me to have have to unckeck the checkboxs in the second step to select the tiddlers to have the search tage deleted. Could/should the checkboxs start off as unchecked in the second step?

Not sure. Can you show it somewhere? Is it available on tiddlyspot for example?

That's (unfortunately) the way the checkbox works. When a tag is present, it's checked. When it's missing, the checkbox is unchecked. Would we want it the other way around, we would need to write a program (or better javascript macro/widget). It's not worth the effort.

You did not import the "showtag" template.

Anyhow: I've changed it now so that it is self-contained. Just import the RenameTags again.

While that is better than nothing, I'd think it were much more practical to have some code to run from the browser console ...or, if possible, to have some button execute some anonymous function running said code ...is that even possible?

Best wishes, Tobias.

Of course it is. I'm even tempted to write a widget

Looking forward to seeing how that works.
