Hi Joshua, thanks for your reply.
I tried out your suggestion for node.js and although the tiddlers for the
text-files do get created, the text still won't display.
I created the file tiddlers/text-files/tiddlywiki.files a directory as you
described, and put the file Text file.txt into the same directory.
Here is the contents of tiddlywiki.files:
{
"directories": [
{
"path": "",
"filesRegExp": "^.*\\.txt$",
"isTiddlerFile": false,
"fields": {
"title": {"source": "basename-uri-decoded"},
"created": {"source": "created"},
"modified": {"source": "modified"},
"type": "text/plain",
"tags": ["$:/tags/AttachedFile"],
"text": "",
"_canonical_uri": {"source": "filename", "prefix": ""}
}
}
]
}
The result is that a tiddler for "Text file" does appear in my wiki, but
still no text is displayed. See here <https://imgur.com/a/U3yKfVK>.
I also tried the same thing but with PDFs and still could not get the
content to display.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
