Hi all, This is something that has bothered me for years. I am just going to say it now that we have a lot of newcomers that would benefit from this tiny improvement.
I think the import tiddler should have two more checkboxes: Check/uncheck system tiddlers, and check/uncheck regular tiddlers. I say this because I suspect most users, when importing, are in one of two scenarios: 1. They want to move their notes (regular tiddlers) to a new TiddlyWiki setup, say, from Stroll to Drift, or vice versa, or from their old TiddlyWiki to TiddlyRoam, or whatever. 2. They have perfected their setup ($:/ prefixed tiddlers) in a TiddlyWiki file they started that has lots of notes, and they want to create a new template from the shadow tiddlers without importing their notes. Either way, the simplest procedure SHOULD be, a) download an empty.html from tiddlywiki.com or Stroll, etc b) Import tiddlers from old file, with the ability to choose quickly to import only regular tiddlers or only $:/ prefixed tiddlers. But to do b, one must presently check or uncheck what could be dozens or even hundreds of tiddlers. Maybe there are other ways to do this in TiddlyWiki. If so, they are well-hidden and probably multistep and/or counterintuitive. It seems like this ought to be available at the import tiddler, to save people time. And it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to use checkboxes to distinguish and filter out tiddlers that start or don't start with $:/ I think this should be core, but as the title states, I'd be willing to settle for a plugin. What do you guys think? Is this as desirable as I think it is? Or does it create more problems than it solves? Interested in hearing feedback.
