[TW5] Is it safe to edit tiddlers in an external editor?

[Ruslan Prokopchuk]

I run TiddlyWiki in --serve mode. Is it safe to edit tiddlers externally? Does TW perform any checks and reject / save with new name / or whatever for such edited tiddlers?

yes, but the server doesn't recognise any changes. So you need to reload the browser window, to get updates.

I did create a "proof of concept" workflow that was discussed in a hangout. It creates a statically rendered languages landing page, which does the automatic reload, if a tiddler is changed.

You may have a look at: https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/languages and the package.json

The "devDependencies" use watch and live-reload as you can see. Something similar could be included into index.html too.

have fun!

Maybe not exactly relevant to your question but I have found

The firefox addon It's All Text

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/?src=search

useful for editing tiddlers.

Two thoughts:

1) could there be a button on TW toolbar whcih opened the .tid in a editor?

2) Could there be a TW plugin for an editor. For example, a plugin for Sublime which inserted the fields required by Tid files at the top of the file.

NOTHING needs adding.other than knowing that the edit box in TW is a "textarea".

Editing TEXTAREA is easy ALREADY via browser add-ons in ANY editor you want.

FIREFOX enables it super easy through the  "Its All Text" Addon.  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/

The LESS we ADD to TiddlyWiki Core Code the better IMO.
