[tw] Re: How do or can i make my TW portable on a USB stick?
Bit of a brain dump; I recommend following the above advice but I do set my USB Drive letter on every PC I use. Also I open my tiddlywiki using a portable firefox (see portableapps.com), so I take all my saved passwords, cookies and addons including the fantastic tiddlysnip with me. Under my tiddlywiki folder is; WikiBackups (for the use of lessbackupsplugin) http://ido-xp.tiddlyspot.com/#TrashPlugin Trash (Where I occasionally export my trashed tiddlers) using http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPluginInfohttp://www.tiddlytools.com/#SaveAsPluginInfo saveAs label:custom save as... ask And Images/PDF and other folders for files I link to inside tiddlywiki using Link in the http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#QuickEditPluginhttp://www.tiddlytools.com/#QuickEditPlugin Regards Tony TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 12:37, AlanBCohen alanbco...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry, while walking the dog (yes, I really have one), I had another thought: Another advantage of using directories under the main Wiki directory, if you need to copy/send/move the Wiki, you can just take the whole directory and all of its contents. without worrying about losing any links. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

When i go to work with the same USB stick and plug it in my drive mapping is messed up. This is because at home my USB is mapped as M:\ and at work it is mapped as E:\ So the path string below works fine is there a way to make it 'inversal' and ignore (or somehow not consider) the drive letter? file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/David/My%20Documents/MasterFolder [truncated for simplicity] TIA /br Dave I had a similar problem using a USB hard drive to carry work between home and office, using MS SyncToy as the syncing software. SyncToy relies on having the same drive letter otherwise it doesn't work. The solution there was for me to reassign the USB drive letter on one of the computers so that it was the same on both computers (avoiding the network drive letters as this can upset sensitive Systems folk). Go into Computer Management (for me that is on StartAll ProgramsAdministrative Tools) with the USB plugged in and reassign the allocated drive letter in Disk Management. It works for USB drives and I presume it will also work for TiddlyWiki. Regards David --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

[tw] Re: How do or can i make my TW portable on a USB stick?
I use relative addressing to get to other files and simply do not specify a drive letter in my links whenever possible. For example, I use OneLevelUp/Wiki as my home directory and my main TW file is 'index.html'. I generally create subdirectories to hold any other files that I need to link to. So, for example, a picture of my dog (dog.jpg) would be in directory OneLevelUp/Wiki/Pictures/ . So my link would be [[Doggy picture|Pictures/dog.jpg]] . If I needed to refer to a file (GeorgeOfTheJungle.txt) in a directory at the same level as Wiki ( OneLevelUp/Wiki and OneLevelUp/ Personal ), the link would be like [[Georgie|./Personal/ GeorgeOfTheJungle.txt]] . This also has the advantage of the links working on any host computer that supports hierarchical directory structures, like Windows, Mac, and Linux (I use Linux at home, my wife has both Mac and Windows; the drive works in any of them). Just keep in mind that unlike Windows, most other operating systems are case sensitive. I hope that helps, Alan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.
