TW5 how do you prefer my next plugin?

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello everybody

I'm working in one plugin, but it could be two. Depends on what users prefer. Currently the plugin easily packs a bunch of Tiddlers in a plugin. I thought about using the same functionality but simpler to export/import a collection of plugins to other wiki. As you can suppose I can use the code of the same widget for both projects. Should make a single plugin or two different ones? Should I include the hability to delete a bunch of Tiddlers too?

Thanks for your opinions.

Depending on the size I'd make it one plugin. I think the overhead isn't too big, is it?

If it is, I'd make it 3 plugins:

1. base plugin with the common functionality
2. tiddler exports
3. plugin packaging

If you want to drag and drop multiple tiddlers between tiddlywiki documents then that is already supported by the drag and drop protocol. The issue at the moment is that the only draggable entity is a link to a single tiddler. The plan is to support dragging tag pills to transfer all the tiddlers with that tag.

If you want to import/export multiple tiddlers via a single file, then the TW file format itself is the best way: we just need a way to export a subset of the current wiki.

Best wishes

I do not agree at all.

The problem of a subsequent of the current wiki is that it will probably include CSS rules and customizations that could break the destination wiki. What I want is to take advantage of the plugin mechanism to export / import set of Tiddlers. If this is going to be available soon I will focus on other things.

No, it doesn't need to include those tiddlers. We can export a tiddlywiki file with whatever tiddlers we want. It might mean that the file wouldn't display correctly when viewed standalone, but that's OK: here we're using TW as an interchange format.

Import/export is not what the plugin mechanism is for, so it's unlikely to be supported by the core (except for the tools we need to support plugin authors creating plugins).

Hi

A plugin that enabled export/import to individual .tid files would be useful. This would enable not only copying of individual (a list of) tiddlers between TW on the same device, but also sync between TW's on different devices without transferring the entire file.
