I came over the new Plugin Combiner from @BurningTreeC
My TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook
I like when download a new empty.html, customize my download with most useful plugins. This combiner allow users to do so.
Can such mechanism be added to the very old (albeit very simple and user friendly) download empty.html?
It may make sense to combine different plugins, they depend on each other, like the codemirror stuff. Where they most likely will not work stand alone.
But in my opinion combining plugins that provide different features is a mistake, because they are not independent anymore.
If there is a bug in one “combined” plugin, the whole thing needs to be removed.
The reason for plugins is, that one plugin can do one thing well. So the separation of concerns should be retained, even if different plugins are combined into one export / import file.
That’s the reason, why I did create the bundler-plugin, which allows users to “combine” a set of tiddlers into a bundle. Since plugins are tiddlers, it is possible to “bundle” them together with configuration tiddlers if needed, while retaining their independency.
Since the config tiddlers are standard tiddlers, they can be removed if not needed. For most users is much faster to delete stuff, that is not needed, instead of creating a lot of configs from scratch.
Just my thought.
