Export panel, including Export current story

[twMat]

The exporting options are not presented in a satisfying way. I identify four export cases:

• export current tiddler
• export current story
• export filtered set
• export all

Leave export current tiddler untouched as toolbar command

For the others; To minimize the need for figuring out where to go fo for either of the other commands, I suggest including all the others in one "export panel".

This panel can be reached in the places where we curently find "export all" (ie. the sidebar) and "export filtered" (currently obscurely placed in advanced search).

I don't know if we have a "export (seen) story" currently. The natural place for the latter, if not as part of a panel, would IMO be among the other sidebar tools (I guess next to the "export all" then). But this, i.e two similar buttons, is also an argument why it should be one panel featuring all instead.

If this is idea is liked by @Jermolene and other fellows I can make some picture mockups.

If the idea is not liked, you're forcing me to post a separate issue regarding export current story where you'd have to read further babble and twaddle, and you woudn't want that, now would you!

I think, this idea is worth considering.

Hi @twMat yes that's a good idea.

I've mentioned on hangouts the idea of extending $:/TagManager to a full $:/Manager tiddler that has several tabs for manipulating user created tiddlers (as opposed to control panel which is about manipulating system tiddlers). One of the tabs could be $:/ExportManager (that can also be opened separately) with the functionality you identify.

This was designed with sidebar in mind.

The large square shows what will be exported and is "inspired by" the Ctrlpanel "Default tiddler" field. The idea is that it is directly editable but it also aggregates any of the selections made via the other alternatives, i.e clicking any of the buttons makes their respecitve filter expressions appear in the large square.

The filter area is to test filters but also gives the option to select individual filtered items. There should perhaps be some button to copy the filter from the filter are into the large An idea is that typing the filter in the filter field, also creates a copy in the large square simultaneously but if individual titles are selected in the resulting filter, then these replace that filter expression in the large square. } just ideas.

I feel the instructions are reasonable per se, but in the end they amount to "pretty much", especially in a narrow sidebar so I incuded the checkbox option.

Thoughts?
