TiddlyDesktopRS - a new TiddlyWiki Desktop (RS) experience - Alpha / Beta

Wait 30 minutes until you update. Next version solves many issues and gives you also more control if you want to register the room at the relay or not.

Your version is just not up to date anymore with the big changes made.

So, the pattern seems clear. If I put a document in a new (2nd) room, it doesn’t show up. If I put it in the first room I created, it appears in the peers list instantly.

I’ve double-checked the credentials for the 2nd room on both devices.

I’m kind of missing those id’s we had in yesterday’s version. I have no idea if the rooms are connecting today (except for the first room, which is working as expected). I guess they were removed for security?

0.6.2 Linux
0.0.54 Android

I’ll test that scenario

Could you uninstall your Android app and install it fresh?

Fresh Android install. Same problem. Decided to remove room #1 off both devices and then re-create it. Now I have the problem the other way. I can see document #2 in room #2, but nothing acknowledges room #1. (when I use the numbers, I’m referring to their original order of creation, not the new order).

One oddity is that document #1 on the phone app shows the peers emblem. Now I can’t tell for sure what it thinks its peer is, but presumably the desktop. But the same file on the desktop does not show the link, and changes are not propagated.

It “feels” like it doesn’t want to acknowledge a second room.

Android 0.0.58
Linux 0.6.2

I believe the problem is that you’re versions behind with the Android install.
And the Linux version is not the latest, it’s superseded and will be updated once again within 20 minutes.

So currently, Android is incompatible with desktop until all this settles down.

That said, do you want to test the two-rooms-problem over relay with two different empty wikis and two rooms you share with me via pm?

That would make it easier for me to understand if it’s the Android version or if there’s something else that’s not working correctly…

Ok, let me set up some empties.

I’d prefer to use v0.6.7 for this but I can install the latest collab plugin manually, that should do it

Is that coming up in a few minutes?

yes but let’s go with 0.6.6

I don’t have collab installed? Is that something needed?

no, it’s just cooler to edit a tiddler together in real-time
I can install it once the wiki is connected

You should have an empty with collab plugin installed.

Linux v0.6.10
Android 0.0.61

It’s currently refusing to acknowledge the document and room that I want to connect, even though I’ve turned off all the other rooms on the source and target, and also turned off “sync” for the second document.

AND … it’s offering for me to link to a document for which I have “sync” turned off, and the room disconnected on the source.

Control+Scroll jumps too many steps at a time. You can’t find a happy medium.

Has anyone experimented with the external attachment feature … Suppose I have a screenshot and I want to paste it in a tiddler as external reference… How will the image get saved in this scenario. Ideally I want the image to be saved in a subdirectory folder and image tiddler be created using canonical uri field. And this image tiddler shall be transcluded in the tiddler in which I am pasting the screenshot. All these steps should happen in the background when I a pasting the screenshot. Is it possible with this app.

This workflow I am able to achieve currently in my node js wiki using file upload plug ins and quick image plug in created by Saq. How to reproduce this workflow in the tiddlydesktop app. Also is pasting of images or screenshot possible in the android app ?

Hi @arunnbabu81

There’s no such mechanism yet.
It leaves your attachment where it is.
I plan to make it configurable if you want to copy it to a configurable directory.
That’s the desktop part.


Android: you “share” an image with the app. There you choose the wiki. Then you can choose to open the wiki and the $:/Import dialog will show up so that you can import it.

Will it work with pasting of images or screenshots into tiddlers. I mean will the images get saved automatically into the configured directory.

@BurningTreeC It might be easier to make the app work smoothly with files upload plug in and quick images plug in

I have uploaded those plug ins in this demo wiki in case you need to take a look at them- https://file-upload-nodejs-quick-images.tiddlyhost.com/

With the exception of permissions and folder selection I imagine the issues with external files/images may be the same as for any wiki. The mechanism I like is where you just paste images and files then periodically export to the files directory and modify the original tiddlers to point to the external file. There is a utility to support this. I will try and locate it.
