Tiddly Wiki save Watcher

[Mirco Babin]

Hello Tiddly Wiki community,

I have created an application to make the saving easier. It only works on Windows. Maybe Tiddly Wiki users can benefit of it.

See https://github.com/MircoBabin/TiddlyWikiWatcher

Kind regards,

Mirco,

Thanks for contributing to the community. This may be a case where I know too many savers and its harder to grasp but could you provide a little more of an explanation, even perhaps the workflow one would use with first and subsequent uses?

I sounds as if it may help first time users as well so I am keen to understand it well, so We can include it in the mix.

Regards
Tony

Hi Micro,

 For me does not work! As Tony said, could you explain a bit more! How it works, how can we run and use it,...

I followed what you said on Github page! Nothing happened still Chrome download a version on each save

Thank you

Hello again Micro,

I am testing on Windows 10 and Chrome 70

 -  It seems if I put both files (the wiki and the watcher) in the same folder it works, so, please correct this

 - The Chrome still shows the download and saved file with error in the task-bar (but seems file is moving then)

 - You cannot open other files when you opened a wiki!

 - If you open watcher, do nothing and close it again an error windows raised shows unhandeled exception error

By the way have you seen Timimi or Widdly before?

Cheers

Mohammad

Hello Mohammad,

Thanks for your feedback.

1) Both files do not have to be in the same folder. When you start Watcher, you can drag a wiki file from the Windows Explorer. That file will then be used.

2) Chrome still shows the download, that's correct. But the download will be picked up by Watcher and moved over your original wiki file. Because the Watcher is very fast in moving, in Chrome there will be shown "download failed - virusscan failed" or something like that. Watcher has moved the file, before a Virusscanner had the chance of inspecting it.

3) I assume you are refering to Watcher, when opened one wiki file, no others can be opened. You can open a second instance of Watcher and open another wiki file from there.

4) Opening Watcher, do nothing, and close it shows an exception. I will try to fix that.

I never heard of Timimi or Widdly.

Kind regards,

Mirco
