2022-03-11 Thread Charlie Veniot
My first goal was to setup a mechanism to allow viewers of a published TiddlyWiki (well, a TiddlyWiki instance located on some website for viewing) to personalize the appearance of a TiddlyWiki and saving those configuration settings to local storage, such that a viewer's preferences are

Upon startup, TiddlyWiki, via action-confirm widget, explains that the TiddlyWiki allows saving to local storage a few settings to personalize your experience viewing the TiddlyWiki. It also explains how to save your personal settings to local storage before closing the TiddlyWiki session.

I use a lot of pdfs on an everyday basis and what I wanted to do was something along the lines of : *When a button is pressed, it should open the pdf with a specific page number in another tiddler. * This allows for referencing specific pages on the pdf which I find very useful at times.

Arg, I mean the plug-in is opt-in and opt-out for all tiddlers defined by the filter. By default, the plug-in itself can be set to either on or off by the author for all viewers. Maybe the setting to turn the plug-in on/off could be one of the tiddlers that can get saved to local storage to

The glaring difference is the plug-in is opt-in, by default, to local storage of everything intended for local storage by the TiddlyWiki author. Opt-out is manual and is opt-out of everything intended for local storage. What I am doing is opt-out by default, and opt-in local storage for only

Out of the box, the browser-storage plugin saves $:/state/ tiddlers (apart from $:/state/temp/ tiddlers) and thus most of the UI state. There’s no configuration beyond installing the plugin and restarting. To make it save all configuration such as which toolbar buttons are hidden would require
