Typically late to the party, I’m finally wading into TiddlyWiki on Node.js in earnest. You can guess what that means: questions and a bit of exciting confusion.
I managed to successfully bring over all my tiddlers from a single-file TiddyWiki, but I’ve noticed not all of them get saved as .tid
files to the \tiddlers
directory.
Specifically, I can’t find any .tid
files for non-text/vnd.tiddlywiki
tiddlers. Image tiddlers (whether saved as base64-encoded embedded data or external references with canonical URIs) are nowhere to be found in my \tiddlers
folder.
No other folders exist in my new Node-powered TiddlyWiki’s root.
And yet — the tiddlers are there in my new Node-driven TiddlyWiki when viewed in the browser. I can edit and save changes to them, and the changes persist through refreshes and even shutting down the Node instance and restarting it.
So — where are they?
Are the .tid
files stored somewhere else?
Are they not stored as .tid
s at all?
I’ve also noticed my text\html
tiddlers don’t appear in the store of .tid
files at \tiddlers
.
Surely I’m missing something fundamental (and probably obvious) about running under Node.js.
EDIT:
If you’re curious why I couldn’t see these files, this is the post where you see what I was doing wrong.
