Ste/ Stephan - I have just tested twexe and it works well, using the latest tw 5.1.21 on Windows 10, it opens in my default browser (fireFox) at http://127.0.0.1:8081/ - The fact you can pack any single file based wiki is impressive, and on save it is repackaged into the exe itself is a brilliant piece of work. - I understand the same method works on Linux it would be interesting to test it on OSX - Whilst it would not take long to teach a new user to package such wikis, it is certainly a nice way to prepare, package and distribute a completed tiddlywiki that user can use as a local app (Whilst still leveraging the browser). - The same source tiddlywiki.html could be published on line with an opportunity to download the exe for each platform. But of course online changes will not carry over to the local exe, and changes can be made once running.
Questions, - Would a similar solution with its own browser like tiddlydesktop uses chromium be even better I wonder? Searching for the source https://github.com/ihm4u/twexe and notes <https://tiddlywiki.narkive.com/W0JlC0TQ/tw-tw5-twixie-solve-the-saving-problem-new-release-0-5-24> I stumbled on this https://github.com/welford/twexe *Tiddlywiki widget to run batch/exes on a local machine. Intended for an hta flavoured TW, not suitable for anything online.* Which I have not yet tested, it may work within tiddlydesktop and as suggested should work in HTA files, next test aspx files on SharePoint Regards Tony On Sunday, December 1, 2019 at 12:48:54 AM UTC+11, Stefan Pfister wrote: > > On linux mint Sarah: First start was okay.
