Use `caption` instead of `shorttext`
Awesome plugin. Are there any downsides to replace use of a shorttext
field with caption
. Tiddlywiki have special logic to handle caption
field. In particular it is displayed correctly in TOCs and in results produced by list
filters. So I ended up providing the same text in two fields shorttext
to make DropBoard happy and caption
field to make rest of Tiddlywiki happy. However in order to do it there are way too many clicks required:
- drag "New Tiddler" into column
- type shorttext and text
- drag created card onto "open in main story"
- scroll up where the tiddler is opened
- click "edit the tiddler"
- type
caption
inAdd new field
- type the same text as in
shorttext
in thevalue
of the field - click
add
- save tiddler
Which is very inconvenient. I would prefer to enter caption
when I drug "New Tiddler" draggable into column. I am afraid that changing the https://github.com/reidgould/tiddlywiki-dropboard/blob/gh-default/Source/editions/dropboard-plugin/plugins/dropboard/tiddlers/templates/edit/Card.tid#L49 line wouldn't be enough and it might be more complex change.
And that shorttext
field can't be searched currently, make it quite dangerous to use.
Yes, there are issues, but when using caption
instead - you lose full featured text formatting on this "short text".
