Hi Kanyimbe,
I am working on a plugin that can generate tiddlers with the filenames
from files in a directory.
A list is made of tiddlers that exist's but the file is missing.
It is partly based on the code from Eric Schulman's plugin
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ShowLocalDirectory.
It is not a working plugin yet but you might try the code below by
simply pasting it in a tiddler, you need the inlinejavascript plugin
from Tiddlytools and be aware of google line breaks.
Opening and closing the tiddler starts the process, be CAREFUL there
are no safeguards build in, make sure you have a backup in case
something goes wrong.
The docs are expected to be in a sub-directory with the name docs.
Reading the metadata from files is something that I have been thinking
of and this should be possible from TW but it takes some major coding.
Goodluck, Okido
