Hi Mal Good stuff. The code looks OK at a quick glance, but for me the exciting thing is the way that you were able to do this as a “very amateur coder”. I believe that software developers have accidentally created a world where we have all the advantages: we can readily mould and shape the technology around us to fit our needs, while non-coders are condemned to make do with the one-size-fits-all, mass market tools. A big goal of TiddlyWiki is to lower the barriers for everyone to create their own unique, customised environment that is optimised to their own needs. Sharing tweaks like this within the community is very valuable because it will help some people learn to do it themselves.
Anyhow, you may want to consider setting up a tiddlyspot or github site for sharing your stuff; I’ll happily link to it from tiddlywiki.com, Best wishes Jeremy. > On 18 Apr 2016, at 11:35, Mal <mal.gam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > In case anyone has any interest in this, I have attached a new version of my > "loadnew" command with a correction to the date comparison logic. > > Regards, > > Mal > > > On Friday, 18 March 2016 13:37:46 UTC+10, Mal wrote: > All, > > I am looking after some tiddlywikis with important content and have > implemented a backup scheme that involves loading the tiddlywiki html files > into a node instance and then taking file system (zfs) snapshots of the > tiddlers folder.
