 I didn't find any simple to use, powerfull ubuntu programm for batch

Maybe you haven't tried:
* David's Batch Processor for Gimp, in gimp-plugin-registry.

For desktop integration:
* nautilus-image-converter
or
* phatch  phatch-nautilus (not tried but looks good: 
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/)

[tw] Updated Content for TiddlyWiki.com

2011-02-14 Thread Jeremy Ruston
As mentioned over the last couple of weeks, we've been spending some time at 
Osmosoft preparing for an update of http://tiddlywiki.com. The content had 
become pretty out of date, full of dead links and information that wasn't 
always helpful.

One of the issues with updating the site up until now has been that the update 
process has been pretty painful. We've taken steps to improve that by using 
TiddlySpace to host the content for editing, with a relatively simple process 
take a snapshot of the content and publish it to tiddlywiki.com.

Our goals have been:
- to re-emphasise tiddler links to encourage visitors to click through to 
explore the content
- to simplify the proposition of the site
- to remove dead links and outdated material
- to improve the user guide and reference material to make it complete and 
accurate

We've marginally increased the default font size but otherwise left the styling 
alone. I'm keen to revisit the default theme in the future.

The draft content is at:

http://tiddlywiki-com.tiddlyspace.com/

It automatically includes reference information from:

http://tiddlywiki-com-ref.tiddlyspace.com/

The plan now is to publish the site, and try to keep up a slightly faster pulse 
of updates.

We would welcome comments about the draft material, and any contributions are 
welcome. If there is sufficient interest we can open up the draft spaces for 
wider editing.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Dear Jeremy

I recall you mentioning 'Mise en scène' when I visited Osmosoft House.
Miss Marple was mentioned if i recall accurately.

Personally, when I first discovered TW, I was charmed by the fact that
the inventor of this intriguing thing had written the tiddlers and had
his name in the code. The modifer field of each tiddler displayed
JeremyRushton and looking at the Code you could see TiddlyWiki
created by Jeremy Ruston, 

These two choices cast TW as small and English.

To me any kind of mis en scene is difficult concept to get across over
the web, but i think the choice of language tiddler and the fact
that the inventor wrote the manual -- for me at least -- drew me into
the TW project.

Language is a funny thing, i could have misinterpreted your meaning of
mise en scène to construct my own.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think a certain Miss
Marpleness has been lost somewhere along the non-linear path to the
drawing room.

So, if modesty allows, I would vote for the signed subtitles, whoever
they written by.

Also, can you elaborate on your understanding of mise en scène?

2011-02-14 Thread Tobias Beer
Great job, Mario, as for the revamped About tiddler! ...it now gives
just the right impression as for a start page. :)

I think an additional table would be nice, listing the available macro
parameters and their general idea / application, rather than deriving
that from detailed example desciptions, e.g.:

| !Parameter | !Description | !Default |h
| defaults|...|...|
| fancy| ... |...|
| thumbhost|...|...|
| pichost|...|...|
...

To what extend does FancyBoxPlugin require a certain image path
configuration ...or can that be (more or less tediously) implemented
any way one wants? I guess, that's a question that might already be
answered in the context of the above table. Of course, I have read
your link [4] above, but it didn't quite explicitly explain how those
considerations apply with respect to FancyBoxPlugin.

Cheers, Tobias.

[tw] Update: Moving http://tiddlywiki.org/ to TiddlySpace

2011-02-14 Thread chris . dent


As discussed in another thread[1] a migration of the mediawiki at
http://tiddlywiki.org/ to TiddlySpace[2] at
http://tiddlywiki.tiddlyspace.com/ has started. This message is to
give a bit of an update on the progress, encourage participation,
provide a space for any questions on the process and to report on some
of the issues I've faced thus far.

I've migrated, by hand, some tens of pages to tiddlers. In the process
I've updated syntax from mediawiki to tiddlywiki and cleared out any
content that is immediately obvious as being wrong. I'm neither an
expert in tiddlywiki syntax nor in the entire tiddlywiki ecosystem so
it is quite likely I'm getting some of it wrong.

I started by migrating the Main Page to a Welcome tiddler and then
following and filling empty links from that Welcome tiddler.

Now that I've put the basic framework in place, it would be most
excellent if others could follow along using the same process:

* Create a tiddlyspace account if you don't yet have one.
* Go to http://tiddlywiki.tiddlyspace.com/, find a missing tiddler.
* Go to http://tiddlywiki.org/ find the wiki page that corresponds to
  the missing tiddler.
* Copy the content from the wiki into the tiddler.
* While reading to update the syntax, update the content where
  possible.
* On the mediawiki page make a link with title Migrated, at the top of
  the page, pointing to the permalink.
* Repeat until you get too bored to carry on :)

Issues I've discovered thus far include:

* The mediawiki site uses Namespace:Page style page names, which don't
  really map to the TiddlyWiki way. I've taken a hybrid approach thus
  far, mostly changing things like Dev:Macros to DevMacros, but
  sometimes just leaving the prefix off.
* There are some pages which use subpages (e.g. MGSD). These seem
  candiates for their own spaces perhaps? Opinions?
* There's a mishmash of strategies for dealing with case and
  pluralness in the older wiki. This is compounded by yet more
  strategies in the @glossary and @tiddlywikidev spaces included in
  the @tiddlywiki space. We've got links for Tiddlers, Tiddler,
  tiddlers and tiddler.

I believe that is now is the time for others to step in. The older
wiki, and thus the new wiki, has always been meant to be the wiki for
the tiddlywiki community. That means the community needs to step up
and be responsible, as possible, for its content. By moving the
content to a hosted, multi-user, TiddlyWiki-based platform, hopefully
enough barriers to participation have been removed to make this
possible. If barriers still remain please state what they are so we
can work on removing them.

If the barriers are down, but there still isn't participation that
will say alot about the relative or perceived need for a community
wiki. So if you are committed to the need, this is your chance to show
it.

Re: [tw] Updated Content for TiddlyWiki.com

2011-02-14 Thread Alex Hough
Hello All,

I've been messing about with an introduction to TW

I saw a lecture on Alan Turing in Manchester last week. The lecturer
explained recursion as taking something you've got and using it to
make something else. I thought, thats nice!

My systems friends seem to get confused about recursion (like me), but
i thought i'd design a TW starting with exploring patterns, and
deviations from patterns.(Turings final work was about patterns I was
to learn - morphogenesis)

AnywaysUp, here [1] is the product of a sunday night tiddle in front
to Countryfile

I wanted to create something that uncovers the TW design during
exploration. The idea was that the complexity would emerge though the
user editing and deleting CSS that hides elements - tags for example.
One simple CSS rule applied to a simplified ViewTemplate would
introduce StyleSheets so that the user / readers is not overwealmed by
new information.

Starting with a vanilla TW, my first thought was there there was too
much complexity in GettingStarted. I wanted to show how a Tiddler
could fill up the tiddlers like SiteTitle, Sitesubtitle and MainMenu.
I felt that the wikified TiddlyWiki was a distraction, as were tags
and the tiddlers subtitle. The [[Double Bracketed Link]] was promoted
the first word.

SiteSubtile was changed and the gradient and shadows removed from the
header. I thought that the span introduced an exception to early on,
and there was a nbs there which could confuse. Overall I wanted to
PageTemplate to look simpler than the ViewTemplate, at least at the
start of the exploration.

I also re-purposed the the brown monospaced text produced by {{{these
brackets}}} for the edit template. I think this allows reference to
the editor mode more easily from the view template. Wikitext is the
first and most simple  'code' that the user experiences. The work is
unfinished -- and  will probably remain that way.

I then 'spun it out', opening a backup and building on that. The
result is a TW exploring cyborg leadership [2]. Its about not really
knowing where you are going, but going roughly in the right direction.

Roughly going in the right direction is the feeling i enjoyed when
first discovering TW. The gentle learning curve at the beginning is
what I think made it so addictive early on. Learning in small chunks
has instant reward - a characteristic of many an addiction. Applying
this principal to learning or explaining something else is a skill i
think has been honed by TW as a thinking tool but also as a designed
object, a creative artifact.

2011-02-14 Thread techwriter_mjs
Hi Mario,

Thanks for the suggestions.  This is definitely what I was trying to
do, but
still no luck.  I made sure to enable my popups in my browser --
trying both
Google Chrome 9.0 and Firefox 3.6.

* In my new ShowPopup tiddler, I have the following code, which I
tagged
transclusion (without the quotes):

tiddler ShowPopup with: TiddlerName label tooltip buttonClass width
popupClass

* I have a TiddlerToPopup tiddler, with the following code (without
the
surrounding quotes): This tiddler should be shown in a popup.

* Then in the MainMenu Tiddler, I have

tiddler ShowPopup with: TiddlerToPopup Try Popop try popup

And here's what I see:

On the left-side menu, there's no effect; it's like I haven't added
anything
about the TiddlerToPopup at all.  If I navigate to the Timeline (or
All),
and click MainMenu to display the tiddler in the middle/main display
area,
there's an empty line where the TiddlerToPopup should be shown.  (That
is,
I've put that line between two other tiddlers that *do* properly
appear.)

I've made sure that popups are enabled in my browser.  I wondered if
the
SinglePageModePlugin was interfering, so I edited the
config.options.chkSinglePageMode to be false (which is set in a
CookieJar
per Eric's suggestion).  I tried putting the tiddler ShowPopup
with:
TiddlerToPopup Try Popop try popup line in the DefaultTiddlers,
but
then when I save  reload I get a bunch of errors (starting with The
tiddler 'tiddler' doesn't exist. Double-click to create it).

So I'm missing something; any ideas?

Thanks much,
-Monique

(p.s., Is there a way to reply to the list by replying directly from
my email client?  I tried and got a failed delivery, so came back to
the website to post through it.)

  I see that the simple macro is tiddler ShowPopup with: ShowPopup
  [[Try this]] [[show this tiddler in a popup]], but where does this

  that's the right terminology in this context) tiddler that lists the
  TiddlerToBePoppedUp, or in the TiddlerToBePoppedUp code?

[tw] is there a way to reference the basics.html MainMenu content by tranclusion?

2011-02-14 Thread steve
Hello:

I am using the TiddlyTools Basics.html quickstart document. One of
the things I really like about it is the setup for the MainMenu.

Is there a way to include the MainMenu code in other tiddlers with
something like
tiddler MainMenu?  That way I can easily use the slider setup in
multiple places.
When I try this, it doesn't work. When I click on an item an empty
line appears, not
the list of tiddlers.

I'm trying to use a background image for one of my TWs, and have the

So I put in my StyleSheet :
.tiddler {opacity:0,5;}
It works fine but the other div inside a tiddler are also transparent.
The text in  the viewer is grey and no more black.
What css do I have to use in order to keep the right foreground color

With these two spaces, plus @tiddlywikidev, @tiddlywiki and @glossary
 there's clearly an opportunity to reuse and share stuff and avoid a
 bit of duplicated effort in the creation of both tiddlywiki.com and
 tiddlywiki.org.
 
 What do you propose?

Basically that tiddlywiki.com stays as a small, relatively stable bundle of 
front of house stuff like greetings, core reference content, and, most 
importantly, pointers to external resources.

I see tiddlywiki.com serving several purposes:
For people discovering tiddlywiki, it provides the basic proposition
For people wanting to try out tiddlywiki, it provides enough handholding to get 
most people up and running
For people wanting to adopt TiddlyWiki, it provides the links to the community 
resources that are needed to get the best out of it
For people using TiddlyWiki, it provides the canonical reference documentation

The contentious part is perhaps the reference information. It's always been 
there, but it has been incomplete and unreliable. I believe that the core 
reference documentation can be pretty small, and establishing it properly right 
at the centre of TiddlyWiki gives it authority.

Of the spaces you mentioned, the @glossary space establishes a place for the 
unique vocabulary associated with the project. I'd like to see us transclude a 
few of the definitions into tiddlywiki.com.

The @tiddlywiki and @tiddlywikidev spaces are the two sides of the current 
tiddlywiki.org, containing material contributed from the community. I see them 
as extending and augmenting the material on tiddlywiki.com.

One belief that underpins this approach is that while it is useful to have a 
single authoritative place for reference information, it is not feasible to 
have a single source of introductory or user guide material. Different 
audiences have different needs and different tastes in terms of how they learn 
and what they already know.

Best wishes

Jeremy

[tw] Re: Opacity property

I've found a way :

.tiddler {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);

 Hello,

 I'm trying to use a background image for one of my TWs, and have the
 tiddlers more or less transparent.
 So I put in my StyleSheet :
 .tiddler {opacity:0,5;}
 It works fine but the other div inside a tiddler are also transparent.
 The text in  the viewer is grey and no more black.
 What css do I have to use in order to keep the right foreground color
 (text color) ?

 Thanks in advance

[tw] Re: FancyBox experimental

On Feb 14, 2:24 pm, Tobias Beer beertob...@googlemail.com wrote:
 Great job, Mario, as for the revamped About tiddler! ...it now gives
 just the right impression as for a start page. :)
And it discovers some bugs too :)

 I think an additional table would be nice, listing the available macro
 parameters and their general idea / application, rather than deriving
 that from detailed example desciptions, e.g.:

 | !Parameter | !Description | !Default |h
 | defaults|...|...|
 | fancy| ... |...|
 | thumbhost|...|...|
 | pichost|...|...|
I think I'll implement this one into the FancyBoxPluginInfo (ToDo)
tiddler. But some of them seem to be redundant at the moment.

 To what extend does FancyBoxPlugin require a certain image path
 configuration ...or can that be (more or less tediously) implemented
 any way one wants? ...
The fancybox library want's a special HTML format,

a href= -- picHost -- 02.jpg rel= class=imageLink title=
  img src=-- thumbHost.. 02.jpg alt= title=
/a

[img[label|01.jpg|http://example.com/01.jpg]] exacty produces the
desired html code. So fancybox library can handle it without much
tweaking inside FancyBoxPlugin.

but eg:
fancyBox tag:panorama needs to produce a structure, that the
library can handle. But it doesn't know anything, except the names of
the tiddlers.

If you have eg: 01.jpg  11.jpg tagged panorama,

step 1)
FancyBoxPlugin looks for
  thumbHost
  picHost
If they are set, it uses them, to produce the above structure.

step 2)
If the browser URL starts with file: it looks for a !Offline section
of the default: setting
If there is one it uses it.

-- this behaviour works for an online and an offline TW. Without any
third party plugin.

but
step 3)
If the above settings are absent, it looks if
AttachFilePluginFormatters is installed.
If so, FancyBoxPlugin checks if the pics are tagged attachment
If so, it reads the !slide section from the tiddlers
And asks AttachFilePluginFormatter for both URIs
If AttachFilePluginFormatter finds something the plugin uses it.
If it doesn't it gives back the naked picture names
01.jpg  11.jpg.

Which will be used, to produce the the structure.
If the thumbs are in the same directory, as the html file they will be
used by the library. It may be not the desired result, but it displays
something.

(I think I should include this in the fallback description)

 ... I guess, that's a question that might already be
 answered in the context of the above table. Of course, I have read
 your link [4] above, but it didn't quite explicitly explain how those
 considerations apply with respect to FancyBoxPlugin.

 Cheers, Tobias.
As you suggested, some info about hidden sections would be nice :)
You are a member now. You know :))

[tw] Re: Apostrophe symbol in the tiddler name - is there a work around?

2011-02-14 Thread Shankar


 Hi Shankar. I can't replicate your bug. My tiddlywiki seems to cope
 fine with an apostrophe in the title.
 What version of TW are you using?
 Are you getting the bug when using the newTiddler button/macro or just
 when using an alternative plugin?

 Colm

I am using:
title: TiddlyWiki, major: 2, minor: 6, revision: 2, date: new
Date(Jan 6, 2011), extensions: {}.

It happens when I try to save the tiddler for the first time - it
seems to get into some type of infinite loop somewhere.

That you are not seeing it in the vanilla version makes me wonder if
it is coming from the TidIDEPlugin plugin I am using - I will check it
out.

Thanks.

Cheers; 'best,

shankar swamy

2011-02-14 Thread Tobias Beer
I know :)

I just wanted to get the general concepts right before making any
edits. Also, I think I'll go with the idea of creating private
tiddlers tagged 'tobibeer' and have you decide as to if or how you
want to use any of it. I'm quite busy on workday's so it might take a
moment before I jump in, in case you actually left anything for me to
do :)

2011-02-14 Thread Tobias Beer
Chances are, that a few plugins might fail if tiddler titles contain
apostrophes or double quotes, especially when using something like
handy (yet bad) ol' eval statements ...concatenating such titles with
some js code to be executed on the fly.

[tw] StyleSheet - anything better than trial error ?

2011-02-14 Thread techwriter_mjs
Now that everything's displaying for me (popups, folding, etc.), I
need to address the styling.  But other than trial-and-error by
changing various StyleSheet values and then testing to see what turned
bright pink :-), is there a more sensible way to tell which styles
correspond to which elements?

Yes, things are seemingly logically named.  But for the popup, for
example, I still haven't figured out which actions result in the
.popup li.disabled or .popup li a:hover being used...

What I guess I'm looking for is a picture that points to the displayed
elements and identifies the corresponding StyleSheet entries...

Does such a thing exist?  Or is there an easier way to figure this
out?

Thanks very much,
-Monique

I use Firebug and ColorZilla, two Firefox plugins. With ColorZilla,
you can pick existing colors and it even shows to what class it
belongs to and with Firebug, you can do way, way more, from scripts to
styling and so on.
