How to move existing tiddlers into custom file system paths

[talha131]

This response led me to Customising Tiddler File Naming feature.

I added this filter to $:/config/FileSystemPaths

[tag[Journal]addprefix[journals/]]

It moves new and edited Journal entries to the journals/ folder.

How do I force TW to automatically move all the old Journal entries into the designated folder.

An obvious solution is the move the files manually from the Operating System’s file explorer. But can it be done via TW?

The only way to trigger TiddlyWiki to save the tiddlers to a new path is to modify them. You could in theory write some actions - invoked by a button - that looped through all the journal tiddlers and modified a field (and later potentially reset that field).

just use commander plugin to click select all button and Deselect all(I always close timestamp before do that)
