Sorry, I should have said: I use Timimi on a Windows 10 device, and I installed it directly from Timimi — One saver to rule them all — which I also recommend doing, as it requires a downloadable .exe in addition to the browser addon. It has historically supported a range of desktop browser/OS combinations, but I don’t believe it works for mobile devices.
That’s just the way their search engine works. Behind the scenes they’re guessing that you’ve misspelled your search term and are looking for “related” terms.
Timimi doesn’t work on Firefox for Android, as indeed most of our favorite extensions don’t. I see that the 7 extensions returned include ones with only one or two users.
Definitely add me to the list of users!
Windows 11, Thorium Browser, latest TW.
I’m just looking for the simplest solution available for single-file TW’s, and Timimi has always provided that for me.
I’d love to experiment with a Node installation, but after four failed attempts down through the years, I’ve all but given up on it…
I’m in the same boat: Windows 10 user of Firefox 139.0.4 (64-bit) for editing the wikis.
All other devices use Chrome for read-only access of copies in Dropbox.
Hello!
First of all, apologies / oops: I did not select Chrome when installing the back-end (I just installed for Firefox, assuming that only Firefox needed the back-end installed!)
Secondly, thanks for your patience! I’ve just installed the backend for Chrome as well, and now your revised version works flawlessly (as far as I can tell) on Chrome – the wiki saves correctly after I create and save a new tiddler, and a back-up TiddlyWiki HTML file is created as expected: so your tweaks seem to work equally well for both Firefox and Chrome. Happy to do any further tests but I think your updates work: wonderful!
All best wishes
Simon
Hi @Mark_S
If I don’t respond any time soon it is because a) we are busy getting ready to leave for the State for 5 months in early July and I still have a lot to do plus a trip to Tabasco for several days in a week.
And b) I downloaded the tiddlyspark file and the addon Chrome zip file. Wasn’t sure how to install to Chrome, but tried clicking the fishy. I entered my username and password and was told my action requires “elevation” (my lap is a work machine). So I will have to get IT on board with it in order for me to even try it.
So far Timimi is still working, and I also use TiddlyStow for some files. So I am going to hold off until we get settled in in the States.
That’s odd. Nothing should have asked for name/password. Maybe that’s what happens with corporate-level security.
Thank you for the feedback. Although this patch shouldn’t make any difference with Firefox, it’s good to know it didn’t break it either.
Yes, sorry for focussing on the wrong thing!
Thanks again for your work on Timimi too: although I currently use Firefox with TiddlyWiki, I imagine Chrome is more widely used, I think in macOS as well as with other operating systems.
Statistically, only 2% of users use Firefox. But in this forum, it seems like it might be more than 50%.
Mohammad are you all right?
Praying.
So, @Mark_S - Have I got this right: the tiddlyspark-0.1.exe is to be used in conjunction with the side-loaded Timimi (addon-chrome.zip from back in March)?
I’m not going to make any changes until my current Timimi installation in Thorium stops functioning, but I’m squirreling away these files now, just in case…
Thank You
Yes. When you side-load the Timimi extension, it creates a new internal ID for the extension. You can not set an arbitrary id, and the id has to match the id used by the “host” (the program that actually saves your file). The tiddlyspark executable installs the new id.
Right. Got it - Thank You so much
Now if someone could just define “side-load” and outline steps to do so. This word is an area where some are assuming too much knowledge of average users.
Ah, knock it off. You’re not an average user
So there was a quick explanation of side-loading. Side-loading in this case means adding an extension without going through the Google extension store. Here’s the pertinent part of the post. Let me know if it’s too terse.
Ah ok, got it. Thanks.
Yes, wondering if it’s something to do with an enthusiasm for open source and tinkering!
