Design approach wanted for dragging a title, move or copy between tags

#1

I have a pair of tags used to indicate if something is to be displayed in one place OR the other.

  • We can already drag the order of titles so tagged in the tag pill drop down.
  • We can drag a title from the tag pill dropdown elsewhere

We can create two list-links-draggable to drag between tag sets, but it is only additive, there is no actions parameter to remove the tiddler title from the source.

Try this on tiddlywiki.com

<<tag HelloThere>> <<tag Filters>>

<td><<list-links-draggable tiddler:"HelloThere">> </td><td><<list-links-draggable tiddler:"Filters">></td>

I believe it would be simple to build ones own macro, similar to the list-links-draggable macro, that includes removing the title from the source tag list, however;

  • Can any one suggest a way we may integrate this with the tiddler tag pills or another user interface element?
  • This would be a useful enhancement to the management of lists via tags

A possible approach is to;

  • Allow titles to be dropped on the tag pill to add that title to the tag list.
    • Ctrl-drop to add it but remove it from the source tag list.

An effective solution would make sense to live in the core hence my asking for alternative approaches.

How do we Dragging title from Tag Pill Dropdown - is the tag name available?

I think it could be useful for management between two lists/fields, for example when you have a list the element of UI can you show/hide a element with the move between two lists/fields. For example, in $:/core/ui/SideBar/Tools instead of the use of checkbox.

This is a basic (hardcoded) example that works in one direction (from field n to field x)

Great tip thanks @Alvaro I did not realise the list-links-draggable-drop-actions macros is defined thus we can “override” its definition.

  • We could do this for two tag tiddlers and their list fields
  • however using your approach I see there is also a “list-tagged-draggable-drop-actions” macro we can replace as well.
    • Maybe add an action to delete from source with ctrl

But just how can we merge this into our user interface? especially when if moving a tiddler between two tags?

  • I am thinking of something like a modal or new window, which has one or more lists between which we can drag and drop, move or copy, and reorder as desired.
    • A “list of lists” in fact, between which we can drag and drop.
  • Then add a “send to” the “list of lists” option the above modal on the tag pills, a way of setting or accumulating a list of lists between which we can drag and drop, move or copy.

Just brainstorming the UI at the moment!

  • looking for the least intrusive and most functional.
