How to Quickly upgrade your single file wikis in Browser
The truth is this is already a very quick and easy method to upgrade single file wikis.
My feeling is with a little automation we can make this even easier, and with your help also ensure the process is OS independent.
for example.
-
Provide a button copy to clipboard the contents of $:/info/url/full is the same as copying the address bar, this same button could turn off autosave (so you don’t overwrite the upgraded file), Perhaps even display a prominent reload button for when you return from the upgrade.
-
Perhaps the upgrade could be in an iframe with access to the full address of the original wiki saving even the need to use a seperate tab.
-
Or another approach may be to open the upgrader with the current wikis address as a parameter, and the upgrader reloads the wiki at the saved address for us. This would avoid the need to use more than one tab and the possibility of saving over the upgraded wiki.
