Hi Tony,
Let me share my experience as a long time TW user. I started with TWclassic on a usb stick and Firefox portable. This gave me a lot of freedom, it was easy to move the files around between Linux and Windows systems without needing admin rights. Read, write actions to the file system was easy and I made some TWc’s that relied on this heavily. More restrictive browsers made me think how to overcome the the problem of restricted access to the file system as some of my TWc got broken. Secondly whenever I promoted TWc as a tool to make work lighter and easier I stumbled over the saving issue’s. I tried most savers but was not satisfied, in most cases they did not run out of the box. TiddlyDesktop came close to what I needed. However, I use only TWc and I did not want to have the TW5 code overhead in TiddlyDesktop. So I decided to switch to NW.js and wrote a saver <https://github.com/nwOkido/nwTWcSaver> for TWc, access to the file system is very easy. I can move the TWC files between Linux and Windows again and all functionality is restored, the same functionality as when I started years ago. In one instance of NW.js you can open as many TWc’s as you need, they run in independent windows. I must say that NW.js runs stable and it is fast. Still there is file structure dependency, you cannot put your file in any location and run it from there. Files in folders downstream from the NW.js application work out of the box. For me the way to go is to make use of the relation between file extension and default application. A file with an extension like .tw will be opened by the default application that in my use case will be NW.js. For me TWc has become a framework now that I use in NW.js. This delivers me flexible applications for note taking, project management, data analysis and report creation. Browsers I hardly use anymore for TWc. Have a nice day, Okido -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
