[tw] Re: TiddlyDesktop

2017-11-22 Thread Eric Weir
Thanks, Alfonso. My apologies for the late response. As I said, I don't 
make that active use of TiddlyWiki anymore. Just don't want to lose it. 
It's possible that resolving this issue will get me more active again.

I'm checking out your suggestion as well as the others. A question about 
yours: Is it necessary to install Portable Firefox on a portable drive, a 
USB drive? Can I install it to my applications folder like regular Firefox?

Thanks again,

Eric

Thanks, Mark. As It’s not urgent that I get this issue resolved, I’ll be taking 
my time in going about at. As I’ve been away from TW a good while, except for 
adding or changing an occasional tiddler, I’ll have to defamiliarize myself 
with the way the relevant things are done. But I will be checking out the 
options you suggest.

[tw] Unable to save

2017-11-18 Thread Eric Weir

This is likely an issue that has been addressed here in the recent past. I have 
been away from TiddlyWiki Group and TiddlyWiki itself for several years now. I 
have a TiddlyWiki Classic (2.7.1) configuration that I considered nearly 
perfect for my purposes—note taking and organizing in support of extended 
writing projects and management of contact information—at the point that I 
became inactive. 

For some time now TiddlyWiki has functioned for me mainly as a contact 
information backup. I have been running it in FireFox, which I use only for 
that. A week or so ago after I’d entered some new data I was notified that the 
Tiddler could not be saved. The notice said that saving should work with 
FireFox. Other possible reasons given were illegal characters in the TiddlyWiki 
path name and that the TiddlyWiki file had been moved or renamed, none of which 
are applicable.

Hoping for a straightforward resolution as my TiddlyWiki configuration skills 
have atrophied considerably in recent years.   

Thanks,

[tw] Seeking help regarding suspicious emails

2017-03-09 Thread Eric Weir

Resending with a different subject heading. Suspect the original was old and 
might not get much attention.

--

Still a subscriber, but haven’t posted in a long time. I need help with 
something not TW related, but that I thought this group might have a thought 
about.

The email from Jeremy was in my mailbox this morning, but the “to” address was 
not mine. It was "h...@alph146.prodigy.net.” There were several other emails 
like this, legitimately mine but with a “to” address that was not mine. All had 
the same address except that the contained three digit number was different. 
E.g., an email from my healthcare provider seeking feedback on a recent 
doctor’s visit was address to "h...@alph133.prodigy.net. 

Other messages like this have been arriving throughout the morning, all 
seemingly from sources from which I regularly receive email, all with this 
incorrect “to” address but with a varying three-digit contained number.

It’s been suggest that these are phising attempts, and that I should not click 
on any of the the links in the messages, on the “click here to begin your 
survey” link in the message from my healthcare provider. These don’t seem like 
normal phising emails, which I take are usually/always sent to the correct “to” 
address.

Mystified? Any sense of what’s going on? Reason to be concerned?

Thanks,

Eric Weir

[tw] Where do I set the backup folder in TW Classic (2.7.1)

Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox

Thanks, Jeremy.

Yes, I was able to save earlier. 

TiddlyFox doesn't show up in the Tools menu. I take it that should be 
Tools/Extensions?

It was not clear to me when I got TiddlyFox from the github site what I was to 
do with it after downloading. I took a clue from the instructions for 
development mode installation and put it in my profiles/extensions folder. 

I take it there's some additional step that has to her taken to activate it? Or 
I've put it in the wrong place?

Eric

I figured it out, Jeremy.

I clicked on the gear icon at the top of the tools/extensions and saw that 
there was an option to install add-on from file. 

TiddlyFox now shows up in the Tools/Extensions menu.

For not-so-swift users like me it would help if instruction for this could be

 Hi Eric,

 tiddlyweb at home - a new possibility

Thanks for the invitation, Mario.

Looks pretty simple---compared to TiddlyWeb raw. Still have to get my head 
around tiddlers outside a TiddlyWiki. That would probably come pretty quickly 
with getting started with the new possibility. 

My only hesitation is that it seems like a lot of machinery to run a 
TiddlyWiki. At the moment I'm using TW only for maintaining contacts and other 
miscellaneous notes. Back a couple years ago I was using it to create, store, 
and organize research notes in preparation for writing a paper. The new 
possibility would be more attractive if I were still doing so. 

As I understand it, there are still some kinks to be worked out? If so, I might 
be persuaded to give it a try once you've done that.

Thanks, Jeremy,

After editing a tiddler, I get this error message:

It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include:
- your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and 
Opera all work if properly configured)
- the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters

I get no other messages. JavaScript is enabled. Firefox is 22.

 No, Java isn't required by TiddlyWiki (unless you're using TiddlySaver). I'd 
 recommend disabling or uninstalling Java unless you use other applications 
 that require it.

Following instructions on the Macworld website I disabled it in Safari and

anything else, but if I do the article explains (relatively) safely make it

 I'd agree that Firefox+TiddlyFox is likely to be the least disruptive route 
 for you, if you're able to make the switch. Older plugins that directly

 majority of the popular TW plugins work fine with it.

Thanks, Jeremy. I'm now set up with Firefox and TiddlyFox. 

Is there anyway to disable the JavaScrip warning once you've given permission?

I've updated Java to rte 7 update 25. Forgive my naiveté, but is it required by 
TiddlyWiki?

 You can think of TiddlyWeb as a receptacle for tiddlers that can be combined 
 in different combinations to make TiddlyWikis. Once you're in the TiddlyWiki, 
 it's very much the familiar world of TiddlyWiki plugins, # permalinks etc. 
 TiddlyWeb is pretty mature, and a lot of existing TiddlyWiki plugins work 
 well with it. TiddlyWeb would require a greater investment on your part, but 
 you would gain a good deal of flexibility. If you're working with multiple 
 TiddlyWiki documents that share some information, for instance, you may well 
 find the investment worth while

My TiddlyWikis are self-contained, though in the past there were occasions on 
which I was doing a fair bit of exporting and importing between them. Maybe at 
some point in the future, when I have the time and am feeling adventurous I'll 
attempt to give TiddlyWeb a try.

 If you want to stay with using TiddlyWiki locally, I think that the best 
 options are:
 
 1) To use Firefox+TiddlyFox: this combination works well, and is likely to 
 work into the far future. And it works on Firefox for Android.
 
 2) To install locally a serverside version of TiddlyWiki, such as TiddlyWeb, 
 so that you can continue to use Safari. There's a bit of an up-front 
 investment to get it working, but you'd end up with a very flexible and 
 performant solution. You should also be able to use BidiX's TiddlyHome, which 
 is simpler and easier to set up

Thanks, Jeremy. Sounds like it's a case of good riddance to Java.

Initially my reaction was that  (2) sounded interesting. After checking 
information on the TiddlyWeb website, though, I get the sense that it's a 
completely different species from TiddlyWiki, that I would not be able to use 
my current TiddlyWiki configuration and plugins, and that there would be a 
significant learning curve, indeed, that it might be completely beyond my 
capabilities.

Am In the ballpark on that? Especially regarding not being able to use my 
current TiddlyWiki configuration? 

If so, perhaps I should give in an go with the Firefox+TiddlyFox combination. 
Would rather not, but perhaps it will more readily accommodate my current usage.

 So, operation where optional multiple tag fields would simplify. For sake of 
 explanation we have a TW on Tolkien stuff. Tiddler Frodo can have tags like

 Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, @Jeremy, and N more tags - i.e 
 any association the author (or a group of people!) considers relevant.
 
 Thus, tags are plenty, sprawly and arbitrary - though all quite relevant and 
 realistic.
 
 
 
 Using many(!) tags is problematic in current TW and problems increase with 
 the number of tags. But if TW is to fit around your brain then just like 
 some subjects in your brain has many associations, so do some tiddlers 
 require many tags. It is a limitation to feel that I'd better not. One 
 specific problem is (was?) slowness as a consequence of many tags, especially 
 for various searches that have to scan all tiddlers and all tags. Categories 
 of tags could maybe smoothen this. 

I may be off-base here---my immediate reaction when I started reading was to 
say what I'm going to say, but I kept thinking, We'll maybe he'll eventually 
get to something that that would not be relevant to---but tags are not magic. 
Tags don't organize things. Human beings organize things. And they have to 
organize tags, too. I'm suspecting---and I don't mean to give offense here, 
just guessing at what's going on---that you're not putting much thought into 
your tagging---into developing a tagging *system.* 

To precisely that end I have found taggly tagging to be *extremely* helpful. As 
you may know, in taggly tagging, since all tags are tiddlers anyway, tags can 
be tagged, too. That allows you to put your tags into a hierarchical structure. 
Which I suspect would in time take care of the problem you're experiencing, 
which, for all the words you put into describing it, I take to be simply the 
problem of many tags.

I have found the combination of tw and tt *extremely* helpful in organizing my 
thinking about what I can assure you are extremely complicated subjects. The 
really cool thing is that you do not have to have your structure set up in 
advance. It can evolve as your thinking evolves. So you just start with 
whatever categories seem most appropriate initially. As your understanding of 
the subject develops, the tags you started with are likely to come to seem 
inadequate. Of course you will need additional tags, but some early ones may 
need to be revised. And tags can be edited! Maybe some will need to be renamed. 
Or maybe several can be grouped together under a common tag. As you continue 
the tagging structure will get clearer and your use of tags more 
discriminating. But it can continue evolving indefinitely. 

I use the tw treeview blackicity tw developed by Morris Gray. I think I added 
tt to it. With it I have four ways to locate a tiddler---by tags, in the tree 
structure---which is itself a graphical representation of the tagging 
structure---in the time line and/or alphabetical list in the right hand column, 
or by searching. And as in a standard tw, an open tag tiddler will display a 
list of all the tiddlers tagged with the tag. Lots of ways to find tiddlers. 
Lots of ways represent the structure of your tags. Lots of support for thinking 
about complex topics. 

Again, I may have misunderstood your problem completely. I hope not and I hope 
this helps. [Maybe *it* will just confuse you more.]

Re: [tw] Optional multiple tag fields (@Jeremy)

2013-05-17 Thread Eric Weir

 Tagglytagging and treeview - I love them both and do use them extensively. 
 They are key 'features' in most of my TW's.

Glad to hear you have found them useful, too, Mat.

 And I fully agree with your starting comment that human beings organize 
 things [not tags] and that my proposal would (optionally) force thought into 
 tagging. But while taggly and treeview do organize tags, they don't address 
 the the issues that I bring up which is more about managing tags and, 
 particularly, not being forced to learn code operations to do this.

This is an area in which I think taste and work habits may enter, not 
inappropriately, into our judgments about what makes for efficiency in 
software. I personally find taggly tagging sufficient for managing tags, but 
then managing tags may mean something different to me than it does to you.

 My overall hope is that TW would be easier to user for laymen (non-coders). 
 Not everyone is a layman, especially not here, which is why I suggest this as 
 an optional feature.

That was one part of your post that I didn't comment on---tw's unfriendliness 
to non-coding users. I am fortunate that I got a lot of help from the coders 
here and gradually developed a tw setup that suits most of my needs very 
efficiently. But I must have had tw for a couple years before I even began to 
get a faint clue about how I make meaningful use of it, and it was quite a 
while, and took a lot of then-patient hand-holding, for me to get to a place 
where it was actually useful. 

TW is extremely versatile, and for that reason very powerful. But for that 
reason exploiting any of its seemingly innumerable capabilities can require 
more than a little skill. So some of the difficulty for non-coders is inherent. 
But it could be a lot easier than it is. In fact, there has been almost no 
effort to develop the kind of documentation that could help non-coding users 
get to a level modest competence with tw.

 BTW, do you have any thoughts on the closely related issue I describe? Ie 
 that tags could be field arrays instead so that you don't have to deal with 
 several concepts and learn specific operations for them?

No I don't. My immediate reaction is that field arrays sounds kind of 
databasey, and I have never thought databases might be helpful in the way I 
described tw with tt being helpful to me. Rather than allowing structure to 
evolve organically with one's thinking about a subject, as I understand them 
databases pretty much require you to have the structure in place before you 
start using them.

If I could increase font size some percent across the board that would be cool.

very powerful.

 I've run several tiddlywikis with it - one I used for my course website with 
 my notes and all for each week, one that hold all my tasks and projects, and 
 one I use to take notes about my advisees with.  I used to back it up to 
 tiddlyspot without a problem, but like dropbox now. The only plugin I've had 
 a problem with is EasyEdit, but I think that could be an ipad issue.  
 Reminder plugins, calendar ones, foreachtiddler, Udo's search plugin... even

[tw] TW on iPad

I've just bought an iPad. I gather that TW can be run on it, though I have not 
followed discussion related to it here. Pointers, either about how to do it or 
to documentation regarding same.

[tw] Expired digital signature warning

2012-10-13 Thread Eric Weir

I have upgraded my primary TiddlyWikis to 2.6.6. I also have the most recent 
TiddlySaver.jar. And I continue to get digital signature expired warnings 
which I start up a TiddlyWiki. The warning is displayed three times with the 
first TiddlyWiki and once fort subsequent TiddlyWikis, even though I always 
check always trust content from this publisher.

Why does this happen? Is there a way to stop it? 

I'm on a Mac [OS X 10.6.8} with Safari 5.1.7.

Now that I have 2.6.6 I am able to do save as on my TW's on my Mac for the

In any case, I'm grateful it's finally fixed.

Thanks, Måns. Interesting. At the luakit page on github it is described as a 
fast, light and simple to use micro-browser framework exensible by Lua using 
the WebKit web content engine and the GTK+ toolkit. 

Googling webkit the first item describes it thus: WebKit is an open source 
web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework 
version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS 
X applications.

If it is indeed a problem on OS X, must be GTK+? The GTK+ website describes it 
as a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. 
Responding to the question, Where can it be used, it says, Everywhere!

Pretty certain it's all beyond me, though. Wouldn't have a clue how to go about 
any of this. And with webkit originating in OS X I wouldn't be surprised if it 
turned out not to solve my apparently OS X-related TiddlyWiki problems.

 I'd like to thank everyone who offered suggestions for this guide. I've 
 implemented almost all of them, and anyone who wants to take this thing and 
 make something more official out of it is welcome to.
 
 I remain of the opinion that a simple, one-page guide which takes the user 
 step-by-step not only through installing LyX, but also through installing at 
 least one good example of each of the main types of supporting tools, would 
 be a boon for beginners.
 
 Although one of the strengths of open source software is the amount of choice 
 you get, I also believe it's helpful to be able to say to a beginner, You 
 are welcome and encouraged to try everything and see what best suits you, but 
 for purpose X, right now package Y (or perhaps package Z) would be an 
 excellent place to start.
 
 Not only does this make LyX more attractive through showing the power of the 
 entire software ecosystem, but it raises the odds that the user actually 
 *will* end up using some sort of software for purpose X instead of nothing (a 
 great example of this is reference management software like jabref or 
 pybliographer which seems to me to be woefully underutilized).
 
 Anyway, thank you again for all the suggestions. I've always loved LyX and 
 hope in some small way this contribution was worthwhile.

it doesn't mean the end of the line for the single file configuration of 
TiddlyWiki brought me up a little short.

I've wondered for long time, and have done so here more than once, whether a 
TW-specific browser would solve the browser compatibility issues that been with 
us for a long time, and whether such a thing could even be constructed. From 
your response I gather that that's not exactly what you're working on, but to 
the degree that I understand it it's appealing.

The comment that brought me up short leads me to think, however, that I might 
not be able to simply port my tiddlers and plugins over to the new app and go 
merrily on as I have with the exception of a few things I've had to just live 
with.

The latter, as best I can recall, have had to do in part with incompatibilities 
between a a favorite plugin or two and OSX. Since I'm not able to identify the 
problems at this point you may not be able to answer, but is it possible that 
the new app will avoid incompatibilities with OSX?

Anyway, it sounds very interesting. Glad you're back at work on TW.

 In terms of plugin distribution, I've come to believe that the present

 They have to find tiddlywiki.com, download the product, and then by
 reading the groups they have to figure out the sites that they need to
 visit to get the basic plugins that everyone relies on.
 
 So, for TW5, I'm interested in developing the idea of core plugins
 written by the community that become part of the standard distribution
 of tiddlywiki. You're not the first person to say such and such a
 plugin is so incredibly useful that it should be in the core. The
 community tends to interpret it as a suggestion that the plugin or
 feature becomes part of the core code, because we don't have any other
 unit of distribution. And then it becomes a consideration of bytes vs.
 benefits, and the generality of the feature. I think we can avoid all
 of that by introducing the idea of the tiddlywiki distribution being
 made up of the core code plus a bunch of plugins evolved by the
 community.

That, together with the manual that was recently suggested would be fantastic. 
The amazingly flexible-adaptable TW would remain amazingly flexible-adaptable. 
The amazingly creative TW developer community could continue to find ways to 
exploit the amazing flexibility-adapatability. And it would all be MUCH more 
accessible to ordinary users.

 Indeed... SplitTiddler is not a plugin... it is a transclusion.  All
 the code processing is done using embedded HTML form handling, so
 there's nothing to invoke during document startup.  Thus, it does
 *not* get a systemConfig tag.  To use a transclusion, simply view the
 tiddler or embed (aka, transclude) it into other content (i.e.,
 tiddler SplitTiddler.
 
 Note that *plugins* are tiddlers containing valid javascript code
 *only*.  Any other content within a plugin tiddler is enclosed in
 javascript comment markers (/* ... */ or //) so it will be ignored
 and not processed as program code.
 
 Also note that, at least for TiddlyTools.com, the convention is that
 *plugins* (which require the systemConfig tag) include the word
 Plugin in their title, while transclusions and other 'embedded
 code' tiddlers (e.g., HTML forms, scripts using
 InlineJavascriptPlugin, etc.) do not have Plugin in their title.

Thanks for the explanation, Eric. I've wondered why some plugins are 
identified as such and some are not. Didn't occur to me that in fact they are 
not plugins.

Also have never understood what people are talking about when they talk about 
transclusion. A bit of insight now.

 The drop-down for tags works great.  But I can't find the feature were you 
 mouse-over and get access to a settings panel.  The tagging tags aren't 
 appearing any different; and it seems the code has failed to replace the 
 ViewTemplate.  So I feel I'm missing at least 70% of the fun. 

I suggest you get an MPTW and just play around with TagglyTagging on it.

From your comments I sense you don't understand what TagglyTagging is, which I 
didn't either at first. The basically the idea is that tags are tiddlers and 
as such can be tagged. That allows you to create a hierarchal structure of 
tags. And with renaming of tags, creating new tags, and retagging to modify 
your structure as you go. 

You don't need--nor would you be able to, anyway--figure out the structure 
once-and-for-all ahead of time. It can evolve as your think evolves, and as it 
evolves it will stimulate further clarification of your thoughts about the 
topic.

I've found TagglyTagging to be extremely powerful and extremely flexible. It

the structure/organization of tiddlers. I can start with only the vaguest idea 
of the components and their relations. Once I've done some seat-of-the-pants 
work I may--indeed, I will, *always*--get an insight that reflects a better 
understanding of the subject and requires a different structure. Renaming tags, 
creating new tags, and retagging take care of it, usually pretty quickly. 

Good luck--as you seem to realize--getting it down once and for all. I don't

 It is best to step back and reassess the situation.
 Even walk away from it all together for a bit

 I don't post much, but I'll say this, ever since I started using or
 rather fiddling around with
 TW as work and life do not permit me to make a full commitment to it,
 it
 has been a frustratingly enjoyable ride this has been it.
 Sometimes I feel like yanking my hairs out as the saying goes, but I
 love it.
 TW is my primary go to note taking application.
 Even at work I use it as my primary source of personal info.
 
 Then again, I am not a creator or innovator...more of a cut-n-paste
 kinda dude.

Late comer to this thread, as I'm a less frequent frequenter of the TW Google 
group than in the past.

The above is my pretty much my situation. TW is an amazing piece of software. 
It's versatility and the creativity of its users and developers in creating 
plugins to take advantage of that versatility is impressive. A few years back, 
with a lot of help from Morris Gray, I was able to settle on an adaptation of 
Morris' TW-Treeview that meets most of my needs. 

That said, going back to my first encounter with TW, it took me at least a year 
of occasional fiddling to figure out how I might use it. For a few years I was 
the beneficiary of generous help from that impressive community in response to 
my utterly naive questions. Then, in my insensitive persistence in seeking and 
eventually demanding help with one particular issue, I managed to dry up the 
well. Though there is a work-around, that issue remains unresolved. The 
experience has convinced me that to make effective use of TW you have to be or 
be willing to become a programmer. The issue just mentioned aside, the things 
that can go wrong and that call for tweaking are endless. 

For the regulars here that is not an issue. For me it is. As a result, I've 
been seeking an alternative. I am beginning to think there isn't one, which 
speaks to TW's strengths, but makes its shortcomings all the more tragic. There 
is ferment in the world outside TW these days about tagging. I've been checking 
out the possibilities on offer. None comes close to the power of TagglyTagging. 
Again, what a tragedy.

IMHO, the primary shortcoming of TW is the failure to address the needs and 
capabilities of the ordinary nonprogramming user. This has been known to be a 
problem for years, yet there has been no effort to address it.

One last word: In one of my now infrequent posts here a while back, when users 
were struggling with an issue I recall being vaguely similar to the one 
currently being experienced with the new release, I asked whether anyone had 
given any thought to creating a browser specifically to run TW. 

Another incredibly naive question no doubt, but FWIW, there it is again.

[Very likely, it seems. If there was someone with both competencies surely by 
now we would have seen evidence of it, e.g., in the form of book?] 

 Over on the TiddlyDev someone (whatever I think) has offered payment
 to encourage documentation. Perhaps documentation can develop this
 way?

Yes, especially if, as seems to be the case, no one with the ability has 
offered to do the job out of pure love for TW. 

 I hang about in a business school quite a bit. A question the types
 that live there would be asking questions like: Who would benefit
 from the type of documentation you seek? What is the purpose in
 attracting more users anyway? Where is the 'value'? Where is the
 funding coming from?

More fundamentally, not, Who would benefit from that type of documentation? 
but, Who would want to use an application like that? Your suggestion of 
presenting stories of interesting applications ought to address that question.

Thanks for this. Didn't know about it. Can't take it in all at once, but over 
time I'd like to do so.

 I think TW makes it sometimes too easy to tweak allmost every aspect
 of the program. And since it is possible, it is done. __With many
 other tools, you just couldn't do it__, so you have to get used to the
 tools behaviour.

I would say that while TW is amazingly flexible/configurable/adaptable taking 
advantage of that flexibility/adaptability is not easy for nonprogrammers. At 
least some of us. Then there are people like Måns, who take to it like a fish 
takes to water.

[tw] Dating of backups via BackupOptionsPlugin

2011-04-25 Thread Eric Weir

I've been meaning to ask for help on this for a long time: When I do a backup 
via BackupOptionsPlugin the date is off by one month and the time by four 
hours, e.g.: 

A backup of my contacts TW made at today [April 25] at 12:11 PM has this in the 
file: tw-blackicity-lite-contacts.20110325.1611. 

How can this be corrected?

Thanks,
