Using the node.js version of TW5. If I edit (or, conceivably, add a new) .tid file in the tiddlers directory, is killing and restarting the tiddlywiki server the best way to make the new files visible in the browser?

Hi Chris,

Using Windows 7 64-bit, Firefox v26, and node.js my changes are seen directly in the browser without doing anything.

Cheers,

Ton

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and I'm not seeing changes or additions (in Firefox or Chrome) until I kill and restart the server.

Currently, TiddlyWiki5 under Node.js must be restarted in order to reflect changes made directly to tiddler files. The plan is to support automatic refreshing.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
My apologies if this has been answered in the meantime: Is it still the case that TW5 under Node.js has to be restarted to reflect .tid changes made in an external text editor? I'm on Mac/Sierra, using Firefox for TW5/Node.js, and occasionally editing .tid files in BBEdit.

Also, I just listened to the old Changelog podcast interview with you and it is completely inspiring. Thank you for making such a great tool!

Thanks!
Phil

That hasn't changed: you still need to restart TiddlyWiki in order to pick up changes made manually to files. Jed Carty's "Bob" extension does provide full two way syncing between the file system and TiddlyWiki:

Thank you! It was fun to do:
