I'm an author. Timeline looks handy for a complex project. I'm probably three times as old as anyone on this forum, so I've been using computers since the early 1990s, but I need help now and then when I tackle something new to me.
I have a standalone computer (no network). I don't have a webserver. No need for anyone but me to use Timeline. I've downloaded timeline_libraries_version2.3.0 and found instructions in readme--"No web server? The timeline project includes a small webserver called Jetty (use the timeline_source.zip file) a) install the Java runtime from Sun b) unzip timeline_source.zip to an install directory c) Open a shell or command prompt to the install directory and type: [win32]> run [unix/macosx]> chmod +x run; ./run and then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:9999/timeline/ " BUT when I tried to download the timeline_source.zip file, my computer warned me that it "is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous." 1) It is dangerous? 2) Is Timeline actually meant only for use by commercial organizations and not an individual who's simply trying to work out who's doing what when in an 8-book mystery novel series?
