Keep Import History -Clone Your Import Tiddler After Each Import

[AlfieA]

As it says in the title: after you import some tiddlers, clone that “Import“ tiddler. You may add info in the title so you can find it later: “$:/Import–202604-210948–DOGO-COLOURS“

Why?

1. Logging your imports helps you find the imported tiddlers later. If you remembered you imported all of your of password tiddlers last month but now they’re scattered about in your TW, you could just search your import history.
2. Hit the “edit“ button and copy all the contents as is. If you need to make a JSON export of those particular sets of tiddlers or you want to export as an HTML, you can just dump that into the Advanced Search Filter and export them.

I hope this was a little useful to you.

Nevermind. It’s not that IMPORTant…

password tiddlers

You could do it the Tiddlywiki way, use tag to manage them, or create a dedicated table tiddler using plugins like hyper-table. And add that table tiddler to sidebar or folder tree (toc tiddler in the sidebar).

I’m trying to think of what you’re suggesting… do you mean to add the tiddlers to a TOC or the Contents tab in the sidebar?

That’s exactly one of the usecases the bundler plugin was developed for.

It has a mode, that records imported tiddlers in a new tiddler, that will not be overwritten. If you do not rename it, it will add to it eg:

have fun!
