TLDR; You are right, we may be able to strip about half of the *UI* size, but this would mean we will go backwards. ... -------------- As you probably know, browsers will only let you save to the Downloads directory and subdirectories with default browser plugins. With Timimi you can choose the directory, but you will need 2 components. A browser AddOn and an executable. There is a new file-API for chromium based browsers, but they will also need a server somewhere in the background to use the functionality in a "secure" way. ... > No refresh mechanism going on, no loading up a whole TiddlyWiki (with all > the tiddlers and plugins), blazingly fast open of a small HTML file to > quickly enter some info/knowledge/content on the fly with whatever > device, with ability to save that tiddler, parking its the TID file > somewhere for later processing in the full TiddlyWiki. > In your first post you mentioned, that you don't need all toolbar buttons but some of them. ... So if you only want 1 of them, the software needed is the same as showing all of them. ... The mechanism to show 1 button is the same as to show many of them. It's only a different filter and a list. The same is true for the TW UI. It will be possible to create new ...Templates, that are different to the existing ones, but the functionality to handle Page-, Edit- and View templates is the same as with a default TW. So I'm sure you don't safe anything in the core. > Sure I can tweak a TiddlyWiki by adding custom Tiddlers, but I'm talking > about a major strip down to have a simple editor for simple note-taking. > As I wrote. There will be no major strip down in wiki size. The startup may be faster, because less DOM elements are created. ... Especially no sidebar. At the moment there are 8 tiddlers tagged: $:/tags/PageTemplate ... 11 tiddlers tagged: $:/tags/ViewTemplate ... 9 tiddlers tagged: $:/tags/EditTemplate ... 7 tiddlers tagged: $:/tags/SideBar ... and about 33 toolbar buttons. So you may safe some of them but that's basically it. TW consists of about 2100 shadow tiddlers in empty.html. Nobody knows, how they are exactly interconnected. It would be possible to find it out, but that would be a lot of work I wouldn't want to do. TiddlyWiki 5.1.0 had 991 shadow tiddlers and about 1.1MByte in size. About 460 shadows are $:/language tiddlers ... In 6 years users requested new UI functionality, which resulted in about 1000 shadow tiddlers more and about 1MByte more size of the file. The system did grow organically, with a lot of interconnections here and there. You are right, we may be able to strip about half of the *UI* size, but IMO this would mean we will go backwards. ... just some thoughts mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
