This is possible if you are running your wiki on Node.js. If it is a single-file standalone HTML wiki your best bet is to import the text files by drag'n'drop.
If you are running on Node.js, you can use a "tiddlywiki.files" file (documentation here <https://tiddlywiki.com/#tiddlywiki.files%20Files>), to include a whole folder full of files at once into tiddlywiki. The config file defines the other "meta-data fields" like "type", etc. The folder in question has to be inside said wiki's "tiddlers" folder (where "tiddlers is parallel to a "tiddlywiki.info" config file). Your structure would be similar to: WikiDir |- "tiddlywiki.info" (json file for wiki config) |- "tiddlers" dir |- "text-files" dir |- "tiddlywiki.files" (json file for text-file import config) |- all the files to import |- "other" dirs (in the "tiddlers" dir) |- tiddlers.tid(s) (text tiddlers in the "tiddlers" dir) |- "files" dir (outside "tidders" to serve images and such) On Sunday, November 8, 2020 at 5:34:46 PM UTC-8 TW Tones wrote: > Si, > > Understood.
