Hi all,
I assume a common usage of Tiddlywiki will be to catalog and maintain notes of pdf articles, ebooks and image/photo files (in a folder tree). Before I embark on such an application, would like to check how others have done it.
For my purpose, I will be using a Single File TW5 that can be opened on Android phone (using RCX) and Chromebook. My file folders and the Tiddlywiki catalog file will be replicated among my devices.
My stumbling block is I would like to be able to organise my files in the folders (i.e. add, ‘consume’ the files and then delete or move them to permanent folders) without having to manually update the Tiddlywiki catalog file each time. To that end, I envision an external (python) app to scan my file folders and update to the Tiddlywiki catalog file directly (using ‘Tiddlpy’ python lib to read and update Tiddlywiki file) the file movements and file additions/deletions, based on filename. This would likely have to be done outside Tiddlywiki due to browser restrictions to local file access. I have not come across such an application in my search so far.
I came across pretty nice Tiddlywiki cataloging/bibliography applications. Filenames can probably be dragged and dropped into a Tiddlywiki file to create the initial entry, but nothing on scanning folders and updating subsequent file movement/deletion in the folders to a Tiddlywiki catalog file.
Coming back, I would like to get feedbacks on how you use TW5 to catalog and keep notes of your pdf, ebooks and image/photo files (in a folder tree). I’m open to a easier/alternative approach to such an application.
