Since No one answered yet I just tell you my inexpert and untested view. I think what permissions a particular tiddlywiki can have to interact with the local file system is not so much related to where the tiddlywiki is located online or loca,l but more to do with the permissions the browser accessing that wiki has, after all, an online and local web page become effectively local in cache and memory of your browser when in use. See http://firefoxprivileges.tiddlyspot.com/ as an example of easy configuration in firefox.
If you don't use firefox !, use portablefirefox or determine how to grant your tiddlywiki files/sites permissions in your preferred browser. As a result of the view I have on this I would conclude "Online TWs can NOT access a “local” link" is incorrect. they can if the browser permits it, a risk you do not always want to take with web based sites, but could be acceptable on a site you control. Regards Tony TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 22:09, MikeS <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, so I remember reading on here awhile back that you can’t access a > file path like c:\readme.txt from a website. > > But then I read about the LaunchApplication plugin at the link below > and thought the opposite... > > > http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/1a873fe5287203dd/40b7078342bc7387?lnk=gst&q=LaunchApplication#40b7078342bc7387 > > But upon testing with my personal TW, I realize both are right.
