TWexe and TiddlyWiki 5.2.x

TWexe

TWexe features

  • Automatic backups
  • Automatic saving
  • No browser add-ons needed!!
  • Works on Linux and Windows
  • Single file executable, can be moved, copied, etc.
  • Wiki is compressed, occupying less space on your disk (sometimes even a third of the space!)
  • Converts any Tiddlywiki5 file to a single file executable , no need for special tiddlywiki plugins
  • Automatically uses the saving tab in the control panel (there you can specify a backup directory if you don’t like the default)
  • Easily get back the html wiki file from the executable twexe (if you need it for some reason)
  • Opens up the possibility to run external executables from your wiki (to draw charts, etc.) - stay tuned!!
  • Supports external images (i.e. with _canonical_uri field)

It works with TiddlyWiki up to 5.1.23 as described in the readme but does not work with 5.2.x+.

TWexe and TiddlyWiki 5.2.x+

Originally @amreus proposed a solution to be able to use TWexe with TiddlyWiki 5.2.x See the detailed solution here: Help needed TWexe upgrade not working - #4 by amreus and Help needed TWexe upgrade not working - #3 by amreus

Also, recently Nivdc used above solution and added demo in 5.2.7 see

Remarks

TWexe introduces a simple method for saving for a nontechnical person and those are not familiar with TW. It works like any other Windows/Linux executable.

Credits go to @amreus for solution and Nivdc (Nivdc) · GitHub for providing demo!
