Since I upgraded to 1.0.1043, I've discovered that Realm Works will no longer suggest a 2-character "Other Name" as a link target. For example, when "ST" appears in a snippet (an "Other Name" for the "Strength" topic, set to Case-Sensitive matching at Normal priority), Realm Works now ignores "ST", and doesn't offer a link for it.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a bug, or is there now a 3-character minimum (which does still work) for links? -Ian |

Well, just tried creating an individual with the name of "Ib" - when saving it pops up a requester telling me that for auto link detection to work it needs at least three characters.
So, it does not look like a bug but as intended behaviour - I have no idea what technical reasons there might be that causes issues with the auto link feature. I don't know if this is new - this is the first two-character topic I have entered as far as I remember. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

Well-well-well....
I just tried something else... I wrote the above character "Ib" into another topic to see if it made a link. It didn't. So I right-clicked "Ib" and selected "Create new custom link for selection". This apparently worked as it should. I then added "Ib" in another snippet and selected "Create new custom link for all instances of selection". This caused an immediate crash. Full crash report has been sent. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry.

That's humorous in a twisted sense. Pop-up says use three. You force two. Program throws a hissy fit, takes its ball and goes home leaving you high and dry. That'll teach you!
More seriously, thanks for pushing the envelope and uncovering the issue. |

Well, not sure my bug report ever reached its destination; shouldn't I get an automated reply-mail?

Interesting - I've never created a Topic or Article with only a 2-character name, but I have a lot of 2-character aliases (now, 'Other Names'), and I've relied on those aliases working for linking purposes. (In GURPS, 2-character abbreviations like 'ST' for 'Strength' of a character or 'Strength' required to use a weapon, and 'TL' for 'Technology Level' of a setting or 'Technology Level' of a weapon, are used everywhere.) They've been working fine up to this point. If those no longer work for automatic linking, that will be a serious annoyance for my workflow.

It also occurs to me: Why shouldn't a 2-character name for a Topic or Article be legitimate? What if I were using the D&D dragon god 'Io' or the 'Bo' weapon in my game? Those names should certainly work for linking purposes.

@Liz
Nowhere to be found. Well, apparently the report got lost somewhere on its way. However, since you have other reports concerning this problem, I will assume you have what you need to to look into the problem. And thank you for taking the time to reply :-) Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry.
