Shortcut to specific Tiddler

[AAR]

Hi All,

I'm quite new to TW, but already I am finding it quite useful. I'm
looking for a way to create a desktop shortcut to a specific tiddler
within my TW? I use the TW to document make notes and document
results of simulations and would like to place a shortcut to the
specific tiddler in the same directory as the simulation files.

Thanks in advance for any help!

simply add the following to the end of your path name
#[[tiddler title]]

eg.
http://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html#StyleSheetColors%20GettingStarted

You might want to have a play with the permaview button on the right
of the screen, and the permalink button under the more button.

I have tried that, but my TW is a file on my computer. I tried to
create a shortcut to the TW by "drag and drop". In Firefox, I grabbed
the URL from the menu bar and dropped it into windows explorer, which
creates a shortcut to the file. Then I tried to append the name of
the tiddler (i.e. #tiddlername) to the end of the shortcut, but I
could not get it to work. Most of the information I've found says
that that is the way to do it when you are trying to create a link to
a hosted TW (i.e. on the web), but this does not seem to work for a
local TW stored as a file on my computer. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi try this:

open your file tw in your browser.
click the tiddler toolbar "more: permalink" which will create a file
TW link like the following:

file:///C:/youerPath/yourTW.html#[[The%20Exact%20Tiddler]]
====

Create a Desktoplink of your __browser__
Mine is FF. RightClick: Properties
Target: looks like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
add
"file:///C:/yourPath/yourTW.html#[[The%20Exact%20Tiddler]]"

see the double quotes if there are spaces !!
should look like

"C:\Pr...x\firefox.exe" "file:///C:/your ... 20Tiddler]]"

If you open the link, it will start firefox + your tiddler

have fun!

I am pretty sure this works. . .
Open firefox
open TW
open desired tiddlers
use permaview button - should add tiddler names to the address bar
bookmark this url
drag the bookmark to your desktop

does the bookmark or desktop shortcut work after this? (away from my
computer)

HTH,
Mike

Any luck?

This Worked! However, I did not have a "permalink" tiddler in the
"more" menu of the tiddler toolbar. But I did create a shortcut to
Firefox and then appended the file path to the TW with the tiddler
name added after the pound sign. I forgot to include the double
square brackets around the tiddler name, but it worked anyway. So the
long and short of it is that one should create a shortcut to their
browser (in my case Firefox) and then append the complete TW filename
(i.e. absolute path) name with the specific tiddler name after the
pound sign.

Thanks much for your help with this. I really appreciate your time.

All the best,
Andy
