Hi,
I wanted a way to manage my video collection (too huge and confusing)
using tags, and found a way to use Tiddlywiki to create a database /
catalog of all the files in a folder.
It had to be portable, something I could take around in my HDD with my
videos, and usable to directly watch the videos too. And it had to be
dynamic : I'll add tags to videos as I go along; can't do everything at
once. And of course, updatable: so I can add more videos as they come.
I don't make software; I don't have any programming expertise in
database languages, and can just understand some basic javascript and
HTML, so just looked at the source of tiddlers and figured out a
quick-and-dirty way of getting it done! I've been able to make a
javascript wizard for doing it and embedded it into the tiddlywiki
itself, so anyone can follow some simple instructions and set up a
database / catalog of their own collection.
So, please check out :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7z787xi8aqy7u1/tiddlywiki%20database.zip?m
It's a zip file having one template tiddly file that anyone can use to
create their own catalog of files/videos/ebooks etc, and a sample tiddly
file to demonstrate how it can be used (the links to the files won't
work of course). I can't say if I'll work any further on this, but any
feedback is welcome.
And to the creators: Thanks for making tiddlywiki decentralized!
