Reopen tiddlers that are open each time TW is started

#1

I use TW 5.2.2 via the Chrome Browser and Windows 11. I work on 3 computers during the day: a laptop, and 2 other computers via Remote Desktop. I work at home so I have to use my employer’s VPN as well. (One of their third party lists in their security package likely has our routers blocking Tiddlyhost.com.) I also open TW, which contains all my notes for all my dozens of projects, on 2 computers each day. So my TW HTML file is stored on a network drive available to all computers I use.

Each time I switch computers and open TW again, I would like TW to reopen the same tiddlers that were open when I last closed it. However the tiddlers that are open are not the same each time so the Control Panel setting won’t work for this case. I’m referring to Control Panel, Info tab, Basics, “Choose which tiddlers are displayed at startup.”

Is this possible? How do I do this?

Thank you to a wonderful community!

Have a look in control Panel > Info > Basics does it read [list[$:/StoryList]] each of the times you open your wiki?

  • Click the button Retain Story Ordering
  • This will open all the tiddlers opened at the time you save, reload to check.
  • Alternatively you can list the tiddlers you want to always open OR both.

The setting is stored in $:/DefaultTiddlers which should always be saved back to the file. I presume you are using single file wikis.

  • I can’t think of a mechanism that would cause the behaviour you are getting unless the default tiddlers do not include [list[$:/StoryList]]

That worked! That’s very handy! Thank you! :slight_smile:
