I just packaged the Subsume plugin (slider-and-link combo pointing to tiddler B from tiddler A in one macro). But my system tiddlers are now shadow tiddlers, thanks to the Tinka packaging process, so the subsume macros don't show anything in view mode.

I could click each shadow tiddler of the plugin so it would become a system tiddler. But I don't want users to have to do that.

Is there a way around this?

If you need to see the problem, the link is https://giffmex.org/gifts/subsume.html.

D'oh! Thanks *again* (sigh), Saq! Gotta write that one down as a note to myself in documenting.tw...

Maybe I spoke too soon, Saq. There is no list of any kind in my plugin. The subsumes are just macros. And the macros don't display. The macro definition is now in a shadow tiddler.

I am on my phone so this is mostly speculation:

Your plugin seems to be depend on Relink, but your wiki doesn't have it installed.

Hmmm. I had that plugin packaged in my plugin. It was there, but was also a shadow tiddler.

Okay, now I deleted Relink, removed it from my plugin, and repackaged my plugin without Relink, then re-installed Relink. But it still doesn't work. I uploaded it to the same link.

Ahh okay, never mind that last post. For some reason Relink was disabled. Now everything works as it ought.
