Hi all,
I tried out TiddlyWiki for the first time a few days ago and I love it. Wish I had discovered this years ago! I have what I am sure is a very basic question, and I would love help - but I am very much a beginner to this (and to computer apps like this one). If answers can be posted in the simplest terms possible, that would be great. When I first tried out TiddlyWiki last week, I went to tiddlywiki.com and clicked Download Empty from the home page - so I am assuming that I downloaded the latest version. I then made 6 pages (are they called tiddlers?) for a work project and tagged them. I thought about it for a few days, and decided I want to continue using TiddlyWiki, and use it on a much larger scale for organizing my project data. I also wanted to make a completely separate TiddlyWiki for home projects. So I went back in and moved my work Tiddly to a new folder on my computer and renamed the .html file (I had started out saving it in a temporary place because I didn't know if this software would be the solution I was looking for). I also created a duplicate file and moved it a different folder where I store my home project stuff. When I next re-opened the TiddlyWiki I had started making for my work projects, it was completely empty, It shows the Getting Started page which asks for a title for the new TiddlyWiki. Did this happen because I moved the TiddlyWiki to a new place on my computer? Or because I renamed the file? I tried changing the file name back, and tried to move the file back to where it was (but I can't quite remember the filename, and the name and location of the temporary folder I had originally put the TiddlyWiki in). I can re-create the content I suppose, but I want to know what I did wrong so that I never do it again after creating a larger TiddlyWiki. It would be catastrophic to start using this organization system and have it all get lost in the future. Related questions: I am also wondering if all the files I link to in my TIddlyWiki have to remain at the same location forever on my computer for the links to work properly (and how does this work out if you put the TiddlyWiki on a thumb drive? will the wiki still work?). What happens if I get a new laptop and want to transfer the TiddlyWiki over to the new computer? Thanks for any help you can offer! -J P.S. Also if anyone knows of a good go-to tutorial beyond the 10 or 15 min basic videos (I have watched several), that would address questions like the ones above, I would appreciate the advice. I'd like to get to be more of an expert in using this. Thanks again! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
