After a 2 year hiatus, TiddlyDesktop v0.0.14 is nearly ready for release. This is to ask those who build their own TiddlyDesktop to please give the latest code a try:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/

There are quite a few worthwhile improvements:

* Added new “Create Wiki” button to create new wiki files/folders from templates or by cloning an existing wiki (see illustration below)
* New command line option to open specific wikis at startup
* Switched from static colours to using backstage palette colours
* Reverted to less skinny fonts
* Add a button to access Chromium’s flags page
* Fixed a crash with SVG links
* Setting to rename the wiki list window (useful if running multiple instances)
* Added authorisation option for wikifolders
* Fixed issue with “quit” item in tray menu not working
* Updated nwjs to v0.45.2

Thanks to @mklauber, @BurningTreeC, @BramChen and @half0wl for their help with this release.

Feedback or questions welcome,

Best wishes

Jeremy

Very good news Jeremy!

It seems for testing there is prerelease and one has to build it! Am I right?

Hi Mohammad

Yes, at this point I just wanted to ping the other TiddlyDesktop developers. I’ll prepare a pre-release soon.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Some raw feedback:

Tested on Windows 10 (x64)

[x] create new wiki
[x] add wiki file

[ ] add wiki folder
- The wiki folder should be created already
- The empty edition seems not work as changes not save for me
- The server edition works (e.g wiki created using tiddlywiki mywiki --init server)
- When creating a tiddler called $:/favicon.ico on save tiddler wiki freezes like few seconds and then save BUT when wiki is closed and reopen again nothing is shown. Also no icon is shown on TiddlywikiDesktop

Happy to see that TiddlyDesktop supports wiki folders as well! 

However, on adding a wikifolder it is named "Untitled" in the list and I can't seem to find a way to rename it. Am I missing something?

Regards,
Saq

Hi Mohammad, Saq,

[ ] add wiki folder
- The wiki folder should be created already
- The empty edition seems not work as changes not save for me
- The server edition works (e.g wiki created using tiddlywiki mywiki --init server)

The empty edition lacks the plugins required for client-server operation. The “server” edition makes a better starting point.

- When creating a tiddler called $:/favicon.ico on save tiddler wiki freezes like few seconds and then save BUT when wiki is closed and reopen again nothing is shown. Also no icon is shown on TiddlywikiDesktop

The problem here is the same one that Saq subsequently mentioned:

However, on adding a wikifolder it is named "Untitled" in the list and I can't seem to find a way to rename it. Am I missing something?

Wikifolder support is still rather unfinished. In particular, once the wiki is launched there is no further communication back to TiddlyDesktop, so we can’t retrieve the title or favicon. I left the unfinished support in because it can still be useful, but it’s something I’d like to revisit in the future (particularly as nw.js improves).

Best wishes

Jeremy

Jeremy: for wiki folders, it would be useful to be able to edit the title in TiddlyDesktop, even if it cannot be derived from the wiki folders site title. Note that I mean a descriptive title only used in TiddlyDesktop and not something derived from or propagated back to the data folder.

Otherwise it's not very practical to have more than one wiki folder in TiddlyDesktop.

Hi Jeremy,

I tried the latest release, v0.0.14 Linux 64, unfortunately it crashes on my Linux Mint Cinamon 18.3 box, it returns to the login in console.
Running only nw.js (removed package.json) works OK.

Have a nice day, Okido
