Quick Share: Control desktop from TiddlyWiki

[TonyM]

Just sharing a minor milestone for me.

Windows 10

In a tiddlywiki under TiddlyDesktop, we are permitted to run an look at local files

The following runs a batch file to do a networkcheck, various pings and dns lookups etc..

and pipes the output to a text file, named in the

<object>

tag

The Button refreshes the current tiddler and retrieves the updated network check file once its completed.

All within TiddlyWiki

tiddler: Networkcheck

<a title={{!!tooltip}} href="file:///C:\Data\batches\runnetworkcheck.cmd" > Go</a>

<$button set="Networkcheck!!last-refresh" setTo=<<now "0hh:0mm">> >
Refresh {{Networkcheck!!last-refresh}}
</$button>

<a title="Open Excel" href="file://C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Excel.lnk"> Open Excel</a>

<object width="100%" height="600" data="file:///C:\Data\batches\networkcheck.txt"></object>

Conclusion:

You can fully control and automate your desktop environment all from a tiddlyWiki "Dashboard".
