This reminds me, to create a ticket. Since those action messages are quite hard to create from a "startup" script. > Thoughts? > I'd like to have a "cron like" mechanism > I know that the best idea is the one from a volunteer who does it, so how > would I get started? > What do you want to know? > I mean I've seen how to create a new widget, but what internals ways does > TW5 use for tracking system time? > IMO it doesn't atm. > And are there any existing cron-style javascript libraries, like an > iCalendar parser or something? > For TW imo no. > Does TW even have much in the way of asynchronous execution, anyway, or is > it mostly even driven? > TW UI is event driven. ... but it would be easy to start an 1min timer, that checks for notifications. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
