Hi Dave > I have three questions about hacking tiddlydesktop to work better for my use > case:
In fact, all these questions apply generally to the Node.js configuration of TiddlyWiki. > 1) Is there any way to change something in an editable file to make the > "tiddler" folder to be called something else? (in my case I'd like it to be > called "data" - that's where I already keep my hundreds of text files) As things stand, that could only be done by hacking the TW source code; the result would be a unique fork of TiddlyWiki that was incompatible with the main core. You may be able to use symlinks to achieve the same effect, though. > 2) Can I also somehow change the ".tid" extension of the tiddler files to be > ".txt”? The trouble is that `.txt` files are already defined to contain plain text tiddlers. Redefining the meaning of the extension would thus break existing references to .txt files. > 3) For multi-word tiddlers, can the file have spaces in the name instead of > "word_word”? TW will happily process tiddler files with spaces within the filename, despite the fact that the default processing for new tiddler files replaces spaces with underscores. That default processing could be extended to be more customisable. Generally, these are tricky questions! TiddlyWiki is infinitely hackable because ultimately it’s just a bunch of text files. But hacking your way too far from the core will tend to make it harder for you to take advantage of updates and extensions from the community.
