Ok I was thinking node.js was only needed for directory-style wikis but it makes sense to use it as a backend for both that and html wikis. So scratch that suggestion.
Since node.js is included I would be interested in having a way to convert between single file and directory tiddlywikis directly within TiddlyDesktopRS; do you think this is an option?
Just let me know, thanks!!
Sounds great. In past I used TiddlyDesktop.
One thing that interests me is whether it supports the ability to launch o/s scripts (e.g. Windows .bat files; Powershell .ps1 scripts?)
Best, TT
I know this isn’t exactly what you are asking but did you see this small application I was working on? It supports PS1 scripts (but not batch)
As a regular TiddlyDesktop user, this looks great!
I’ve downloaded the windows version but it doesn’t seem to be creating backups - on the green backup button, the tooltip says backups enabled - click to disable, but clicking button doesn’t do anything.
Thanks
Jon
p.s. not seeing any settings tab

It is useful. Noted.
It is akin to a neat TW Saver called Polly @Mark_S wrote some years ago. Still workable. Sadly not widely adopted.
The point is, I think, yours and his are daemon processes outside the browser.
Q: My request to @BurningTreeC is whether in TiddlyDesktop-RS we could Directly Launch o/s scripts?
Best, TT

Yes it is external, as I wanted to leverage containers but there isn’t an elegant or feasible way to do this in a pure JavaScript environment at the moment.
I’m not a programmer. (Well, I dabble in o/s scripting.)
Just FYI …
- the first version of Timimi included scripting for o/s access.
- Bob included access to executables in the o/s.
- TiddlyDesktop can allow it if you force it.
My point is: it is still possible to directly access the o/s with a bit of effort from a TW.
FWIW, I’m not recommending it—merely that it is very helpful to be able to override browser-lockdown in some circumstances.
So my request to @BurningTreeC to provide minimal o/s access I still feel pertinent.
Enough from me.

Hi, my Server serves a singlefile Wiki and saves using store.php. It would help the TWDesktop could Act Like a browser and Use the saving Mechanisms.
Hi @TiddlyTitch - yes it’s possible to implement
How about an action widget that lets you choose the command, the arguments and the working directory and saves the output of the command optionally in a tiddler?

Just downloaded and ran https://github.com/BurningTreeC/tiddlydesktop-rs/releases/download/v0.0.22/tiddlydesktop-rs_0.0.22_amd64.AppImage on Linux. The screenshot is attached:
There’s no relevant output in console.
I tried on a very old desktop with Nvidia GPU and nouveau if it matters.
New Release - v0.0.24
- added action-run-command plugin, add it when creating a new wiki from the plugin chooser
- backups should work now
- drag&drop made reliable
- this is the last version that ships a non-functional AppImage. Due to sandbox restrictions it will be removed. With an unsecure workaround AppImage could run but that’s not worth the risk
- tm-open-window / tm-close-window now work
- tm-open-external-window opens in default web browser

Unbelievable output @BurningTreeC
- Is RS short for Rust ?
- to the unaware can you give a high level explanation of Rust and Tauri please?
Issues;
I have installed it and created a tw-com wiki and I am getting the attached message including re-occuring 404’s as I click on each link dur to a save error. I expected these to be local wiki single files not getting 404 errors, is this to do with the save or backup mechanisium?
I think a key problem with Poly was no straightforward explanation of how it operates. What are the key features?, not the details, summary of its mechanism. It was a long time since I looked but I was there at its genesis and even I got lost in the complexity. It is hard to adopt something you cant get a high level understanding of.
Tiddlydesktop TS feedback
Similar results as above creating a empty wiki
Opening an existing TiddlyWiki version 5.2.3 seem fine.
- However I can’t seem to drop tiddlers on it (from FireFox)
I like how from the file system we can open with tiddlydesktop-rs but not the tiddler does not enter the list of wikis. I way to do this would be nice.
A limitation also with tiddlydesktop was from memory if you use a lot of wikis the list length gets unmanagable. A Way to organisa/groups wikis would be nice.
Hi @TW_Tones
do you have by any chance the TiddlyWiki “External Attachments” plugin installed?
It’s not needed in TiddlyDesktopRS since it handles External Attachments internally.
But anyway, I will need to handle the case where the plugin is installed…
I will investigate the issues you reported, they are likely because of interferring plugins

I only used empty and another edition built within tiddlydesktop ts, and did not install any other plugin
That sounds ideal!

Backups working now - would be good in a future release to be able to specify location of backup folder.
Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Is it fair to consider that Linux users are generally out of luck if they don’t use rpm/deb based distros now that the AppImage is gone?
I’ll describe my adventures.
Downloaded https://github.com/BurningTreeC/tiddlydesktop-rs/releases/download/v0.0.37/tiddlydesktop-rs-0.0.37-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst , extracted things, ran the binary
./tiddlydesktop-rs
./tiddlydesktop-rs: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
I have a libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so file in my Slackware64 -current (15.0+) system. I went and created a symlink, albeit it’s a bad idea to do it like this.
./tiddlydesktop-rs
./tiddlydesktop-rs: error while loading shared libraries: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Same.
./tiddlydesktop-rs
(process:5664): libsoup-ERROR **: 17:11:27.455: libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.
Trace/breakpoint trap ./tiddlydesktop-rs
Full stop this time. I don’t know how to proceed further.
Since I’m AppImage illiterate (in terms of how it works), it’s probably not worth for you to elaborate on your decision why it is gone, since I won’t understand anyway. But from a strictly end user point of view, an AppImage is clearly handy - just one file to download, all dependencies included (so the situation above should never happen), make it executable and run it. Not to mention the selfish and mercantile end user argument “how come there are AppImages for many programs but not for this one”.
As for building from source, I don’t know if it’s worth trying on old hardware.
