I’m adapting @telmiger’s save & continue button in edits.
I changed it to add to it’s …
- Overwrite Original
- Continue Editing
the action of …
- Backup of the changed Tiddler
My Question: How do you represent these actions in one (button) icon?
A visualization query

If I’m understanding correctly…
\procedure my-button-actions()
<$action-setfield $tiddler=some-tiddler $field=some-field $value="my-value" />
<$action-sendmessage $message=tm-something $param=something />
\end my-button-actions
...
<$button actions=<<my-button-actions>> ...> My Button </$button>
Perhaps @telmiger can give you something a little more appropriate – I don’t know the plugin’s details.
Thanks for the reply!
My post was likely unclear.
I was wondering what Button Icon one could use to represent … Save + Continue + Backup.
@telmiger uses
for “Save and Continue”.
I guess my post is partly about frustrations in accurately visually representing stuff under what an icon-button may be doing.

That’s a huge problem for me, too. Icons (clue is in the name) should be iconic – they rarely are, for me.
I think the visual language available through Icons in modern computing is generally weak and not thought about enough??
Anyway, for my O/P, I still wonder if one Icon might express .̇…
Save + Continue + Backup
just an idea, replace the checkbox square with a basic representation of the old floppy disc drive?
perhaps / ideally a
title="**Save + Continue + Backup**" tooltip
would convey the meaning of whatever
graphic representation is associated with *whatever-action(s)*
Right. My confusione on “what Icon?” Led me to rethink what I should do.
So I changed how It works.
I’m gonna have — Backup | Restore | Save — … which do have icons.
