Riz, I too value this facility to launch scripts and whilst I do not use much it at present because I achieve the same with wikis in TiddlyDesktop, I believe it would be a "strategic development" for TiddlyWikis future and will do what I can to support it. Now that Timimi is even more versatile, I expect it will be used more extensively, thus it will be valuable to have such facilities going forward.
I will support you anyway I can, because I also see this as the opportunity to introduce some powerful host based solutions and integrations. I have Windows 10, android and an Apple Mini, and soon a IPod touch (poor mans iPhone). I support your stated idea of a second plugin, this is wise, and allows you to put it on a different time line and maintenance thread. - Such a solution could have Timimi as a dependency, but it would be easier if it did not. - Personally I would be quite happy if this were a windows only solution until it matures, Timimi is elegant, appears simple to users and a fantastic development, thanks so much for your contribution. - by the way I love the doco at https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ Another item: I submitted an issue as requested https://github.com/ibnishak/Timimi/issues/43 *Multiple Browser or tab protection* - I wanted to let you know I am now working on a complementary solution called lockit (Working Title) Which I will document in my own Google Forum Here <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/tiddlywiki-by-psat/eFbZGXRCMtg>, until I go public. - It will complement Timimi and *Multiple Browser or tab protection* (And other save mechanisms) in so far as allowing check in and Out, thus serial editors on single file wikis. As a result Timimi wikis could be hosted on a Shared drive and avoid overwrite. - With a multi-platform Timimi and Servers, and my own "Lockit" work TiddlyWiki could come into its own as a Smart Document and multi-user single file application. - The addition of the *action-launch-script* facility may permit more sophisticated shared Drive solutions not yet imagined.
