Commits and transaction logs for TiddlyWiki

[TonyM]

Folks,

As raised here by MySelf https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/tiddlywiki/FHj5Pd09LJY

I was thinking how or can I identify uncommitted changes to an open tiddlywiki, when I also edit system files $:/ while developing solutions. Further one solution that I am developing to manage the disposition of tiddlers, allows date field time stamps to be updated without altering the modified date, but these are changes I would not like to loose.

It brings me to ask the community, is their a way to identify changes to an open tiddlyWiki, tiddlers with changes that have not being "committed" or saved, regardless of dates etc...

It would seem to me that such a capability would support transactions logs, commit and rollback features in TiddlyWikis. Such features could underlie shared and multi-user solutions and potentially identify conflicts. 

Regards

Tony

Wjam,

twjam5beta looks sophisticated and feature rich, Good work, Please also consider the basic or entry level user.

I will monitor this, thanks. I also found the "official Plugin" 

$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/savetrail

Auto-download modified tiddlers

This plugin causes TiddlyWiki to continuously download (as a JSON file) the contents of any tiddler that is manually changed by any of several means:

• Confirming an edit
• Deleting tiddlers
• Imports
• Renames/relinks
• Optionally, typing in draft tiddlers can trigger a download

Although I have not tested it yet.

Regards

Tony
