A multi-column Layout / Storyview (new Thread)

Yes. That’s how it works

Thank you @BurningTreeC . It’s working in the demo. How to make it also work with JD’s whitespace sidebar?

Here is the demo with latest MCL - https://demo-complete.tiddlyhost.com/

Can you show me which tiddlers are related to making the second sidebar adaptable to storyriver…may be I can hack some solution from that

It’s all in this tiddler:

Talking about feature request, I would like to integrate Tidgraph with MCL. It seems that the problem is related with Tidgraph and how it disables the normal shift click behavior which would open the clicked tiddler in the graph to the left.

There is anything to be done in the MCL that could help to solve it? Or doesn’t a more knowledgeable TW hacker knows what needs to be changed to get normal shift click behavior back when combining Tidgraph with MCL alike variants/themes for TW?

Hi @Offray ,

I would really love seeing plugins being created with MCL in mind.
I believe the MCL is not that widely in use or plugins have not yet been adapted.
Also, the inner mechanisms of the MCL need to be documented better in order for other plugin authors to make their plugins work with the MCL

I have to say that I don’t have a quick solution for your feature request regarding Tidgraph, but I’ll have a look how it implements the wiki-links and if we can make shift-click work the MCL way

best wishes,
Simon

I don’t even know where to find the latest version of Tidgraph and if it’s actively maintained?

This must be the latest tidgraph plug in. I havent seen it getting updated during the last two year or more. I guess it is not being maintained actively.

Macros & Plugins With MCL ??? …

Ciao BTC,

When you get some time I do think documenting the inner mechanisms of MCL a bit more would help a lot.

Maybe a couple of example macros would help make clear what is happening?

It is not immediately obvious at the moment that every column in MCL is actually an independent Story River that (basically) knows it exists but doesn’t directly know any other river does.

FYI, I found it very interesting how you designed the very good “reductive search” tool.
That knows about all rivers.

Just a comment

I don’t know where to start @TiddlyTweeter
I’d like to know in what people are interested in…

Hi @BurningTreeC

Is there a way to increase the speed with which the scrolling moves while navigating via keyboard shortcuts?
(For example: it’s really apparent if I have a column with lots of tiddlers and navigate from the top to the end of the list by alt+up or at the last tiddler alt+down to go back to the top - it has a maximum scrolling speed that i find a bit slow. It also clear to observe if I have long tiddlers.)
It seems like it’s a lot faster in FF than TiddlyDesktop, but both are slower than I’d prefer. TD is really slow.

Thank you

Hi @BurningTreeC

Having 1-n columns of tiddlers of unequal height and then being able to drag them around is fantastic. However I don’t need the other UI elements (sliding sidebars, column selection, etc.) as I’m happy with my own sidebar.

Is it possible to create a pared-down version of MCL with just the core column functionality? Maybe layer other functionality on top with additional plugins?

Cheers!

Aidan

Consider hacking the standard MCL and capuring the changed tiddlers into a json package. It is “expencive” to maintain a “fork”. You can then drop this on a wiki with standard MCL to activate your hacked version. @BurningTreeC is a very good designer / coder and his solutions are eminently hackable. You may need to wait for @TiddlyTweeter and others documenting MCL first and for it to stabalise.

The other option is to extract/emulate MCLs methods to build the solution you want with acknowledgements.

Remember you can switch layouts to revert to an almost standard layout, so you could start building a new aditional layout with the full MCL behind the scenes or just use the switcher ensemble.

Hi @Adam ,

with the implementation of scrolling in MCL it’s impossible to increase the scroll-speed

But I could add an option that it jumps instantly without smooth scroll

Hi @ahanniga ,

I’ll have a look if it’s possible to modularize MCL so that you can use just the story-rivers. Maybe it’s possible

Tell me if you can do anything with this version of the plugin

Best wishes,

Instant jump would be better in TD I think, in fact, I think I’d prefer that anyway based on how I turned off all other animations in TW, so if it’s not much trouble please add that as an option

Thank you
