There are some aspects of the import process that I wish I could tweak, though I’m sure it’s way beyond my ability to mess with this on my own… Perhaps many would agree that these would be good areas to improve: (1) I’d love better keyboard responsiveness in the import process, which might require …

[image] Springer: “Dovetail” import (OK, this is BIG STRETCH wishlist): have the import be able to recognize when the incoming tiddler and old tiddler have complementary info at the level of fields present — ignoring (or easily flagging) any fields where there’s substantive conflict. For example…

The import process is a rather complex set of code both in terms of the wikitext involved and how it interacts with the core JavaScript. I have wanted to make various improvements to the import process for quite some time but have held back because there are some rather fundamental changes that real…

Thanks @stobot , I had a niggling feeling that at least some of these issues had seen some action… Apologies to @saqimtiaz for not remembering and following up on the merge/dovetail progress made there!

My bundler-plugin has an option, that will automatically create new unique titles, if a tiddler already exists. [image]

[image] pmario: My bundler-plugin has an option, that will automatically create new unique titles, if a tiddler already exists. Ah, I admit that I installed this at some point (on my demo site, where it’s still present), but then got a bit confused about how to configure it. I see lots in yo…

[image] Springer: If any of the above is “low-hanging fruit” that can be picked without lots of structural effort, I’d be delighted… maybe just the “de-select duplicate titles” affordance, since clearly that status is already being tracked for each row? (But I know nothing about whether this is …

[image] Springer: What I didn’t easily see was the beginner-friendly translation bits: “Here’s how to make use of bundles for a simple use-case… Specifically, here’s what to do so that when you drag new content to your wiki (tiddler, json, image, whatever), you can ensure that your incoming tidd…

[image] saqimtiaz: A proper rewrite of the import process would probably move more of that into the realm of wikitext allowing for more flexibility, whereas as adding new core features for import at this time might necessitate JavaScript changes that would later become obsolete with a rewrite, c…

Improving tiddler import (keyboard responsiveness + duplicate handling)

@Springer Found what I thought I’d remembered. Looks like you were in that thread so you probably already had knowledge of it, but I didn’t want to leave that hanging.
