Feather icons don't install with the plugin?

[David Gifford]

Hi all

I just installed the feather icons plugin (http://sycom.gitlab.io/TiddlyWiki-Plugins/#Feather%20icons%20plugin), saved and refreshed. But no icons show in the icons tab of the plugin, and pasting a macro shows nothing. Is there something else that needs installing?

Well, no one helped me with this, but...I found a VERY strange solution to my problem. Import Mario's link-to-tabs plugin and click on the icons tab in the feathers plugin. When I did that, it worked. No clue how or why...

Could you have edited it causing it to become a real rather than shadow tiddler?

Hi Tones, I don't think so. And it doesn't make sense. The plugin should work when installed.

I suspect there's a transclusion that does e.g {{!!myfield}} which would transclude the text from the current tiddler which might not be the same tiddler that the transclusion is in. I.e it instead tries to transclude myfield from e.g the Controlpanel where the tab resides.

Marios plugin deals specifically with tabs so that might explain why it suddenly started working with that particular plugin.

I had a problem recently where something caused a whole lot of core and plugin tiddlers to become real tiddlers. It did not matter that I installed or reinstalled a plugin, I kept changing shadow tiddlers but there was no effect.

For any plugin not working as expected I check to see if any of its shadows listed in the plugin contents, are now tiddlers. Itallic I think.

Perhaps not your issue but it was a lesson hard to learn.

Oh, sorry Mat and Tones, I must not have selected for Google to send me replies to my email as I normally do, I am just now seeing this. Mat's explanation, I think, hits the nail on the head!
