Hi TiddlyWiki users and devs! I've been using TiddlyWiki for a while now, and I've had an issue that I'm finally trying to solve.
I use TiddlyWiki on multiple machines, and in order to synchronize changes between them, I took a dumb, but simple and effective, route of just storing my wiki.html file in a Git repository and pushing/pulling between the various machines. This works pretty well, only there's a small caveat: if I pull and forget to reload the TiddlyWiki page, I can end up potentially undoing changes I made on another machine. For example, let's say I'm working on machine S and I make a series of changes, which we'll call version A. I pull the changes onto machine T, reload the tab, and then I make some more changes, which we'll call B. I go back to S and pull, but forget to refresh the page with TiddlyWiki open. If I make some edits and push that up, it'll be some sort of version A', which will have blown away all of the changes I made between A and B. Since this is in a Git repostory, it's not the end of the world - I can recover the change through the commit history. However, this has bit me a few times (and it's rather annoying to recover from), and I don't know if there are times it has happened and I've continued to use my wiki unawares (I'm working on a script to detect this). I would really like to automate this to prevent this from happening again. I saw this discussion[1] while searching, mentioning syncing of TiddlyWikis; there are some interesting ideas there, but I didn't see mention of the problem I've been experiencing. I've been using the auto reload firefox extension[2] for the last few days, and it largely does the job, but unfortunately it's a bit overzealous - it reloads the wiki every time I save it! It'll work for now, but I was wondering if other users had some tips or ideas on how to handle this issue. Perhaps TiddlyFox could be modified to reload a wiki if it's been changed outside of the browser? Thanks for any help/insight you can offer! -Rob [1] https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/irgt8hUmADQ/discussion [2] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-reload/?src=api -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
