Hi Danielo > Recently I started to use the Node.js edition of tiddlywiki. I find extremely useful having the tiddlers in separate files rather than in a single standalone one.
Great, glad you've been able to make it all work. Your questions all seem to relate to the scenario of working on an offline snapshot of a client-server wiki, and subsequently synchronising changes. It's not a use case that is particularly well supported at the moment, but the intention is to fully support it. > BUT, I have a couple of doubts that I want to resolve. > > Firs of all: How can I get an offline version of my wiki?

The idea is to keep your content in a wiki that contains the correct plugins for standalone use, and then create a separate wiki for client-server use that includes it, using the "includeWikis" property of the tiddlywiki.info file.

Anyhow, no, that isn't directly supported at the moment, although it would be straightforward to write a module to do it. Writing the offline snapshot is a time-consuming operation; you'd probably want to have some throttling so that the snapshot generation only occurs every 60 seconds (say).
