I have a question, can wikidpad compact sqlite file be named something
other than "wiki.sli" ?
I wish to put several wiki.sli on same flash disk directory, and they
can not have same name.
In the wikiname.wiki file, I have made some modification in data_dir
of each wiki.
wiki1:
[wiki_db]
data_dir = file1
wiki2:
[wiki_db]
data_dir = file2
Other remarks on wikidpad :
* I used to use freeware keynote as outliner, then keynote was
discontinued.
* I was searching for another freeware, finally decided on wikidpad.
* wikidpad version 1.9rc is good, version 2 is exciting because it
adds "versioning backup feature".
* I like the extension and scripting features of wikidpad, although
it seems quite difficult to understand and write python software code.
* The wikidpad API documentation is too brief. Can someone say where
I can find the full listing of API in the source code.
* I use compact sqlite wiki, then sqlite tools can also be used, if
necessary.
* I look at some commercial software too, there is connectedText and
sqlnotes. They seem okay, but at the last stage, I still decide to
stay with wikidpad.
How I use wikidpad :
* keep a daily log of my activity, creat a page like D091015 for each
day.
* use wiki words/clipboard catcher at page to copy internet
infomation to use as reference in future.
* use todo to tag information on wiki page, e.g. todo.pcBuylist:
video card; memory
* just use it as text editor, outliner and store of general ideas
* I copy each openoffice spreadsheet data to a wiki page, the cells
are delimited by tab. If the spreadsheet is lost, I can recreate it
from the listing in wiki page.
* The compact sqlite feature is excellent, I can have all information
in a single file. On a flash disk this will decrease the no. of files,
when there are several hundred wiki pages.
I have wiki file with 300 pages and size is 80 MB, it works fine
without problem.
* If people want encryption, use freeOTFE to create an encrypted
disk, place the compact sqlite file on this encrypted disk, then it is
completely secured.
Good luck to all
