Hi Eric I'd agree that Firefox+TiddlyFox is likely to be the least disruptive route for you, if you're able to make the switch. Older plugins that directly access the filesystem generally won't work with TiddlyFox, but the vast majority of the popular TW plugins work fine with it.
You can think of TiddlyWeb as a receptacle for tiddlers that can be combined in different combinations to make TiddlyWikis. Once you're in the TiddlyWiki, it's very much the familiar world of TiddlyWiki plugins, # permalinks etc. TiddlyWeb is pretty mature, and a lot of existing TiddlyWiki plugins work well with it. TiddlyWeb would require a greater investment on your part, but you would gain a good deal of flexibility. If you're working with multiple TiddlyWiki documents that share some information, for instance, you may well find the investment worth while -- but equally, if the prospect of grappling with installing and running new software on your machine doesn't thrill you, it may not be for you. Do let let us know how you get on, Best wishes Jeremy On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 2:34 PM, Eric Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Jul 25, 2013, at 12:28 PM, Jeremy Ruston <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > If you want to stay with using TiddlyWiki locally, I think that the best > options are: > > > > 1) To use Firefox+TiddlyFox: this combination works well, and is likely > to work into the far future.
