Updates from two Tiddly Wiki windows

[Toner]

I have been using Tiddly Wiki for about three weeks now for organizing
the general notes I take on a daily basis - and am very impressed
with the usability of the tool.

A couple of comments:

A) I often end up with lots of windows open by the end of the day, and
I'm concerned that I might inadvertantly open two Tiddly Wiki
sessions and end up loosing updates applied to one through saving
changes to the other. Is there any way to prevent more than one open
browser from having the capability to update one Tiddly Wiki at any
given time?

B) I found a very simple Wiki 2 Word macro at

http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=WordToWiki_swythan&bl

which I modified to work with the Tiddly Wiki dialect, and I find very
useful to be able to convert an MS Word document into a nicely
formatted tiddler.

Is anyone aware of any more sophisticated Word macros, ideally already
supporting Tiddly Wiki, which support more than the very basic
formatting (eg it would be nice if it escaped Wiki words by default).

Hi,
i'm not aware of anything that could help solving your multiple windows problem, but i'm interested in your Word macro (and i guess i'm not alone) is it available somewhere ? i also saw something about an OpenOffice macro, i'll try to adapt this one.

I've done that myself once or twice. I think a part-way solution would be this:

 

When loading, remember the modified date of the file. When saving, check if the modified date is more recent than the remembered on. If so then pop up a warning, "Warning the saved file has been updated since it was loaded. Continue? yes/no.

 

It doesn't really solve the problem totally but at least you would have a little safeguard against trashing your work. I suggest this feature for a future version of TW.

 

Regards,

Simon.

Since this behaviour may result in losing user data I created a ticket for it:

You'll find my first take at modifying the OpenOffice to TikiWiki macro to fit the TiddlyWiki syntax in the joined file.

enjoy,
