June has arrived. Time's up for Timimi?

[EDIT:]Neither do I With Native Saver it’s mandatory, but regardless of configured target download folder configuration,[/EDIT] on my machine Native Saver always opens the same default folder each time I open my wiki and click “Save” in the popup:

It’s because you haven’t checked "Allow FS to use indexedDB.

[Mark_S]

Is this the new TiddlyStow or the old TiddlyStow ? Are you using a local copy of TiddlyStow or a hosted one (e.g. btheado’s git page) ?

I just tried with the old TS, and it didn’t revert the tabs unless the tab is reloaded.

[DaveGifford]

Talking about TiddlyStow - stow TiddlyWiki files locally using the browser file system api

[Mark_S]

And you’re on Chrome, right? And all other savers, including the Timimi extension, plugins, etc. are turned off?

If you reload a page that is loaded with TiddlyStow, it reverts to the TS page.

Wow! I never tried this setting because of the security warning, but using Native Saver like this is even easier, thanks @Mark_S for the tip!

Hi there

I’d still be up for testing an updated Mac installer for Timimi, if you still have time and inclination to make one. However, no worries at all if you are too busy – especially if I was the only person to say I could test it (potential user base might be quite small in that case!)

Ok, brave soul. Be sure whatever server states you save before doing new things is set up correctly. And maybe backups.

Remember that you need to remove your old Timimi extension and sideload the new extension (posted below).

Download, set up, and run the executable however you usually do that on Mac.

This may over-run your prior installer for Firefox (if you use it), but in theory it should be identical and will still work.

It’s been 3 months – for all I know Chrome has changed something with their manifest and it will need to be fixed again.

Thanks for your feedback!

Oh, this is for amd64. If your machine uses arm, let me know. Riz only posted one Mac release type, so I don’t know which he used.

[srbt1]

Ah! I have an M1 (ARM) chip; I’ll hold off testing for now in that case – let me know if you’d like me to give it a go nevertheless (I have set up a new user account in case anything goes very wrong !)

[srbt1]

PS I’m currently using Timimi 2.1.3 in Firefox, so whatever the last version was by Riz on Github works fine at the moment: does that mean your tweaked version might work fine?

[Mark_S]

He’s only got one Mac executable. So either it works on either mac or he only posted for the newer models. I understand that 2020 was the dividing line.

[Mark_S]

Hopefully I did the right steps …

I suspect you were hoping people would read between the lines to respond to you. Never take the responce here as a judgement of your words, there are so many variables in if people will see or understand content here. Shout it out, if you think it importiant.

Hi Tony. I know you hobnob in the world of windows. Do you happen to know anything about Windows Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS)?

It’s the tool that Riz used to compile the Timimi executable for Windows.

@Mark_S

I don’t know anything personally about it. At home I bounce between Linux and Windows. At work, between Windows and Mac. But I’m pretty sure I have coworkers who’ve used it and I can ask them on Monday if you have specific questions.

[Mark_S]

There’s an existing script auto-generated by NSIS. I would rather not learn all the ins-and-outs of NSIS, which has all sorts of plugins and features. I’m hoping I can take the auto-generated script, modify it, and just run it through NSIS to create the windows installer. I’m wondering if that is possible.

Also, there appear to be two NSIS projects on Sourceforge, so I’m a little worried that one is the real one and the other is the knock-off.

And, more broadly speaking, what the installer executable does is pretty simple: It writes the manifest file out to a directory and writes a few values into the registry. I’m wondering if Windows people know of something that is simpler than NSIS. NSIS seems to have been built for really complicated, expansive projects.

So looking for something like the script to build the executable for linux which was really straight forward. You just feed it the location of your files to be installed and it creates the distribution executable. Of course, linux doesn’t require you to use a registry.

I will ask around. The job doesn’t do much with Windows installers, but I can think of several people who have experience with them elsewhere.

I can also confirm it works the same with symbolic links to single file wikis on Linux! I never tried before now, but it just works!

Shortcuts are not the only symbolic links in Windows I belive.

I dont but prepared to lear if it helps.

I think an MSI installer is the most common for windows

We can install manualy of course but an install tool would be better.

Yes, Windows can handle other link types, although I seldom use them.

mklink

I don’t know how they behave in this use case, did you try @TW_Tones ?

I have asked around, and no one seems to have done anything with NSIS. Sorry, I really thought at least one of this group would know about it, but no luck.
