[tw] Re: Using TiddlyFox into the future

2017-10-04 Thread TonyM
Richard,

Sadly Firefox just terminated loosing the response I had already written 
for you, I have noticed this happen after updates to V56 and is really sad 
when you have not saved your tiddlywiki, one thing in favor of autosave 
inside browsers that is for sure.

I am all for TiddlyServer, the last time I used it it was not so strait 
forward, especially for new users, I will revisit it soon,

If you use the approach I am considering you only have to;
1. Start the tool running (In Startup)
2. Configure the location where you want the tiddlywiki to live outside the 
downloads folder

The browser and file manager access should remain the same. Backups and 
cloning can be supported and people can use there file manger 

I must suggest that I do not think this over complicating at all, Firstly 
here I was responding to the Question/Suggestion by Riz.
Even without the "centennial" process running this is a workable solution 
for some. Riz has identified an OS level way to deal with enforced 
downloads.

Perhaps you cant visualize what I have, including the ability to pack such 
a tool inside TiddlyWiki itself. It need not be complicated as you observe. 
The Possibilities have being only just being identified.

I am always open to constructive criticism, however with respect please be 
careful not to "Dis" a process of exploration, its at the end of our 
journey when we can determine the best solutions, to deal with the save 
problem.

Yours Sincerely
Tony

When you save the file (because you had a lot of changes) how do you avoid 
the Download Folder select, overwrite step given it appears this will be 
the only default mechanism.

Have you done a test run to see it working?

You'd probably need to include jQuery, but I'm not sure it's a great idea. 
You have no guarantees about when any individual piece of the UI will be 
updated and re-drawn because of the way Tiddlywiki uses the DOM.

Instead of adding code that way, it's might be better to learn a bit more 
about how Tiddlywiki actually works. Have you seen the dev 
docs? http://tiddlywiki.com/dev/

If you want to add an H3, followed by a block of code, it might be better 
to do that in a macro and invoke it where you need it.

If you use Tiddlyserver there are only two real differences to what you're 
used to:

1. You have to start Tiddlyserver
2. You navigate to, and open, your wikis using the browser instead of your 
file-system finder/explorer

Apart from that, it's a complete replacement and offers other features 
besides, such as backups.

I think you're in danger of seriously over-complicating things in order to 
avoid the second step. Is there a *really* compelling reason to do so?

2017-10-04 Thread 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki
As I keep trying to point out, you don't need a continuously running 
*anything*. All you need is a start up script that copies your latest file 
in the download directory to your working directory, and then launches the 
TW file in the browser. For the rest of your session it's just like working 
under TiddlyFox, except that auto-save isn't available.

[tw] Re: Using TiddlyFox into the future

2017-10-04 Thread TonyM
Riz,

I am using FireFox ESR *(Without invoking tiddlyFox on my test wiki)* but 
Will try the latest FF shortly. 

On Windows 10 I just used the MKLINK in a Run as Administrator command 
Prompt to create a symbolic link where a file stored in the download 
directory has a symbolic link in another folder. The TW5 can be opened from 
either location and using the save (download) mechanism, with save set as 
default for this filetype, you have to indicate the save filename (Folder 
if you have the setting to allow folder selection) but the default is 
usually enough, you then have to respond to the overwrite file prompt. 

Then reloading from either file location the download and the link, will 
show the updated tiddlywiki.

If you have a fixed download folder this should allow you to access your 
tiddlywiki in any folder but always save/via download to the download 
folder (The filename is retained)

As I have posted previously an "always running batch file" can be used to 
monitor the download folder and copy updated files to another location if 
required. You have now made me think what if the batch-file instead updated 
the symlink? I am thinking each time you save an active batch file or 
windows service renames the saved file as a new version, updates the 
symlink on the "symbolic file" (outside the downloads folder) to the new 
version filename but retaining the original name. Next time you save all 
you have to do is select save in the dialogue, there is no overwrite prompt 
as you have removed the original file.

I have given the above scenario a test and it works well (manually) Its key 
advantage is 

   - you can maintain previous versions and simplify the download process.

 Its disadvantages are

   - Autosave is not built in or would cause interruptions to your work 
   flow, 
   - We need to develop an easy to use OS Specific Tool


The truth is if you just allow FF to select download folders, create a 
sub-folder in downloads called  tiddlywiki and save all your wikis there 
using symlinks is not much different.

Food for thought
Tony

[tw] Wonderful TiddlyMap in late ß

2017-10-04 Thread Eneko Gotzon
Hi Code Geniuses!

TiddlyMap seems to be a wonderful plugin that combines, in a single
application, the strengths of wikis & concept maps. I was looking for
something like TM for personal knowledge management, so THANK YOU very much!

QUESTION. ​TM is in its late beta-phase​. Practicing a correct backup
strategy, is it suited to deal with valuable information? Is there risk of
catastrophic data loss?

​Thank you very much wonderful codemasters… :)

​Take a lot of care​; we need you… :)

[tw] Re: Using TiddlyFox into the future

2017-10-04 Thread TonyM
Folks,

I think this is an example of the tail wagging the dog, in this case 
security or even only the "perception of security". These changes undermine 
the meaning of the universal client - the browser and don't just handicap 
tiddlywiki users. Any use of HTML and other webpage services locally are at 
risk.

To disenfranchise a large number of plugins and their developers is also a 
risky step.

I assert the problem is also one of creativity. There is no reason why a 
lock and key method could not be used to permit or white list files or 
folders for update access, this could also require separate and independent 
applications and settings on the client OS or plugins not unlike TiddlyFox 
which are required to be installed before such assess (with restrictions) 
is possible. This can even use local administrative to secure and control 
such access.

My Prediction is FireFox will be damaged by this and rather than 
progressing they will be forced to back-peddle, and it will take a few 
generations before appropriate solutions are made available.

Argggh
Tony

However, for Tiddlywiki, I think it has some bearing.

Currently our model of the basic thing is TW "a web-page you can save". 
That is looking under strain. 

HOW do you guide a newbie now? I think its THAT issue that concerns  me 
most.

Users do get aware--so long as they are not cosseted--they need take

The problem for TW is we are about to LOSE A PLATFORM. That is is much

This is what I was thinking. Have anyone tried to workaround the limitation 
of Downloads folder? As in, via symlinks? What I meant to say is, if I 
decide to keep all my TWs in a single folder, and that folder has a symlink 
in Downloads folder, can Tiddlyfox continue saving?. It would be a hack, 
but it would be better than nothing.

I have switched my Knowledgebase to TiddlyServer already. However, with all 
its benefits, it has some comfortable features missing. For example with 
tiddlyfox I can just download an empty wiki, open it and test something, 
save it and when done with its use, discard it without a second thought. 
With TiddlyServer, I have to ensure I add it to the settings files, restart 
the server and finally remove it when done, or restrict myself to the same 
path. I hope Arlen would someday look into a feature by which all files in 
a particular folder is loaded as standalone TW, so we can put the empty 
file in that folder. Until then, I would miss TFox.

2017-10-04 Thread Lost Admin
It's not "vaguely possible sometime hack". it's definitely possible 
sometimes hack. Although to my knowledge the sometimes has turned out to be 
extremely rare. So, you do have a point.

By modern web browser security standards, the old method is far too open 
with the potential for abuse. Since I suspect Mozilla (they still manage 
Firefox don't they) doesn't want to have to police the add-in library as 
heavily as Apple polices the IOS marketplace, they decided to remove the 
openness of the way extensions work.

The threat is simple, although pretty much unrealized. The architecture of 
XUL pretty much gave the extension developers full access to your computer. 
Which means you have to trust them to write good code. The folks that 
manage the Firefox add-ons website will get a lot of flack if they let an 
extension in that turns out to be a back door into consumer desktops.

Instead of trying to wrap a sandbox around the XUL system, they decided to 
replace it with a more modern and limited framework.

Note: I am not supporting the decision, only providing a bit more context 
behind why they might have decided to go this way. I actually like the 
openness of the old way. I, like many of you, thought it was a strength 
even if it did require more diligence on my part.

Me, too.  The way they handled it was indeed poor.  For example, they could 
have made an exception and made FF56 an ESR release but (as yet) not so.  
FF52 is the last ESR with regular addons support.

You can change the location of downloads in the preferences (Options) 
settings.  If you want to have the best of both worlds, you can set up 
different profiles for TW files (I do my TW work that way).  Having tested 
this for a few weeks, I quite like it.  I no longer see the loss of 
tiddlyfox as an issue.

I do understand the concern. But it was pretty much a concern without 
proven foundation. 

I NEVER, in years, had any problem. AND there is NOTHING I have ever seen 
that indicates the FF extension system was seriously abused. 

It seems to me that legitimate paranoia got mixed up with "vaguely possible

security about "Memes Of Modern Thought" that posit threats where they 
don't, pragmatically, function.

Anyway, its a done deal. AND the issue is WebExtensions at the moment, are 
no way capable of replacing the previous saving system. 

With TW that's an issue, but not fatal, with many other extensions it is 
death.

[tw] Help on Some Plugins

2017-10-04 Thread K
While I am not the best at coding, there are 2 minor problems that bug me 
every time I use tiddlywiki: 

1. In the storytabs plugin, when you switch tabs, it doesn't remember the 
scroll position of the tabs you switched from. The story tabs in twc 
supported this. Id like to know (1) how to implement this. I dont need 
code, just a general idea of what to write.
2. In the context plugin, when you do searches, it displays html code and 
;nbsp in the output; where and how would I write code to filter this output 
out. (The context plugin is a search plugin designed to display context in 
your searches ie. displaying a bit of what you wrote in the page).

3. (Extra) How would I modify the tiddlywiki core to add more javascript? 
I've heard that this has been disabled, but since this is a personal 
tiddlywiki, I want to add some more features.

Let's not get too *hastus terminatus* before its time.

The point I was making is a valid one, I think: I use TW in a browser WITH 
other extensions. TW is NOT in isolation. It's simply a fact that FF 
developed an extremely good extensions API that *WebExtensions is a hollow 
shadow of*. Having to CLOSE DOWN FIREFOX extensions is something I do NOT 
want to have to do. It will cause me a lot of work finding another way. 
And, as of yet, I can't see ANY viable justification on limiting file 
saving for those extensions other than some weird ideology that has taken 
hold beyond reason. 

Your idea FF 57 is the Bees Knees is perhaps correct in terms of temporary 
performance improvements. The outcome, as far as I can see, is it will 
steal a few people from Chrome (as it imitates it) whilst throwing its 
uniqueness out the window. 

Lets discuss the usage figures next March.

setting things up (on my side, I am willing to pay for help).

I have tried to do so myself but it seems I was not able to make custom

changed relevant settings in web-app settings, tried powershell, but to no 
avail.

[tw] Re: Using TiddlyFox into the future

2017-10-04 Thread RichardWilliamSmith
In my opinion it's something of a folly to mourn the obsolescence of 
software. Tempus fugit. Best to just rip off the band aid, download the 
developer edition of Firefox which is already at 57, and never look back. 
It's a much better browser and stands a real chance of clawing back market 
share from Google with average users.

If you think about it, it's probably not a great idea for your browser to 
be able to save things to your disks silently in the background, which is 
what Tiddlyfox was doing, after all. Running a server that specifically has 
permission to save things to disk is the right solution, in my opinion, as 
boring as that may be.

Beaker is experimental, Noteself is quite complicated, the download saver 
has no auto-saving (any other problems are secondary, as you'll know if 
you've ever lost work that you didn't save). Tiddlyserver or possibly 
Webdav will be the right answer for most people, I think.


Regards,
Richard

Ciao Daniel

The issue with Pale Moon is not Pale Moon its about what "works for many". 
Pale Moon is largely perceived as a peripheral experiment.

TiddlyServer seems pretty damn good for survival. 

And the the fact is you can save several ways...

- Beaker Browser (Mac only at the moment)

- Default Saver Tricks (Thanks to Mark S., more likely to follow)

- TiddlyServer by Arlen & Mac package by RichardWS (*looks near universal 
and proven*)

- Local WebDav (still emerging, but looking workable).

- Noteself (a different approach that uses browser storage, not a TW file, 
& *will continue to work in FF*)

- Other methods

That said. I'd like to point to, as I just did in another thread, that the 
reasons for using TW in a FF system are great. As much to do with 
everything else than TW per se.  

One does not use a browser to just run one type of web-page. FF XUL 
supported many types of extension and I think part of the issue even here 
in this group is mourning the demise of that too???

*IMO, all that said, in the first instance, I still maintain FF ESR is the 
Best Bet now if you need TW saving or file-saving FF extensions. It will 
work till spring next year. *

In the interim many things may happen. After that I may look at Pale Moon 
if I need continuity with my many FF add-ons that may have permanently 
failed to see if it could be viable.

Whilst we are focused here mainly on TiddlyWiki, actual usage of FF beyond 
TiddlyWiki comes into the issue strongly too for some users (maybe a 
lot). And that IS a factor in all this. Let me give my USECASE  which 
may make it clearer ...

1 - Having used FF forever I am faced with MULTIPLE FAILURES of Extensions. 
As of yesterday my Firefox is starting to alert me about extensions that 
will fail at 57 & offer alternatives that are WebExtension compliant.

2 - The problem is--after trying them--is they are largely crap. They lost 
the flexibility that previously they had.

3 - For example: TileTabs, PrintEdit, ClassicThemeRestorer, TabMixPlus ... 
all good basic tools that are struggling to survive FF 57, and not doing so 
well with the WebExtensions API.

4 - *For brilliant tools like Scrapbook* there is no alternative as yet 
even muted. I have 5 years of web-clips in that that will become 
inaccessible.

*I seriously believe that the decline of direct file-saving in FF, for 
quite a many adept user, is a more complex issue than just TiddlyWiki. *

No person uses a browser for just one thing unless they are in a corner. 
This is partly why there is much concern about how to SAVE here now--but, 
behind the scenes, I don't think the user concern is JUST about TiddlyWiki, 
I think it often implicitly *reflects concern about what is happening in 
genera*l.

---

The FF PALEMOON solution route suggested in another thread looks 
interesting. But, when I tried it before, I got problems & periodic RSDs.

*I still think the Best Bet right now is to use Firefox ESR that will 
continue to run till at least March next year. *

This gives some breathing space to carry-on as before for some months. 
During those months I hope some solutions to the FF problem (NOT the TW 
problem--which is practically solved in several ways already) may 
emerge--or FF will likely become a very Minority Report. 

In brief: FF is used for TW & Other Things. And part of the (??our??) user 
grief around it is about the Other Things too.

Best wishes
Josiah

TLDR;

IMO you should describe the functionality, that you want to have a bit 
closer. ... I think you want to use an approach that begs for trouble. 

- Reasoning -

Your described approach is very error prone and even you or your users (for 
sure) will break it by accident.

lets say:

tiddlerOK ... is a tiddler where the macro is ok
tiddlerNok ... macro should not run

Now consider this:

tiddlerNok  contains your macro for testing and you call it like this:

tiddlerOK  contains the following code:

{{tiddlerNok}}<-- your macro may work

and

{{||tiddlerNok}}  <-- macro fails since currentTiddler is still set to 
tiddlerOK


The same may happen if you use the <$list> widget with the variable 
parameter set to eg: variable="listItem". ... Inside the widget scope 
currentTiddler isn't set. ... if the variable assignment is missing 
currentTiddler will be set. 

Constructions described above are all over the places. .. So I think it 
will cause you quite some headache. .. If not immediately it may cause very 
hard to find problems in the future. 

just some thoughts!
