Hello everyone,

There is .tid export option on the sidebar, and there is another .tid export option from each tiddler.  

I was under the impression that the .tid exporter on a tiddler exports that specific tiddler, while the one in the sidebar exports the .tids for the entire wiki (saving all the tiddlers in the default download folder of the browser).

Presently both the .tid export seems to be doing the same thing. What am I missing?

Thanks
AG

Hi Atul,

How to export tiddlers The last line i that tiddler says:
The ".tid" format is unique from the other formats in that only one tiddler will be exported, even if you are attempting to export all tiddlers or a selection of tiddlers.

Thanks Birthe,

Here is my problem. I have a large wiki and has started to show in loading/saving. I am hoping that using the tw as tiddlers in data folder will make it more efficient. 
So how do I convert my single page html into its component tiddlers (.tids) ?

Regards
AG

Atul,

I took the easy road and used BobEXE, create from html file. Bob took care of it.
That way I didn't have to export anything.

Thanks Birthe,

BOBexe worked like a charm. Thanks to RIZ too, for making BOBexe.

Atul,

Jed made Bob, but I expect he would still like to know you are grateful for Bobexe

I just want to add moving to a folder implementation is not the only way to improve performance os larger wikis. there are dozens of methods some as simple as hiding the sidebar tabs etc... then others that restructure the wiki for more efficient performance in different ways.

Kudos JED for BOB. 

We should have a seperate tiddler on tw5.com referring to all the ways in which performances of large wikis can be handled. I believe it is a question we will all ask at some point in time.

Atul,

I agree, however for now search in the forum. Performance, slow, size etc...

Regards
Tony

Atul,

You are right, that would be nice.
Wikis will grow over the years and get slower. Solutions to that problem is often discussed and tested. It seems complicated to me and often demands serious changes to an often large wiki.

Bob has helped me a lot, and that is only one of the things BobExe can do and it continues to get better and better.

The discussion about how to optimise performance is better thought of as advice on how to construct our new wikis to get a good start, I think.
Hardware: Short time ago I got a new laptop. My old one was 32 bit with only 2 gb ram, the new one 64 bit 8 gb ram. Totally new life to my old big wiki ;-)
I do not own a smartphone or a tablet but wonder, how to run a big wiki on those?

Birthe
