Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a useful directory watching workflow I've come up with. I am working on a mac and running TW on node. I read a lot of papers, and have taken to using TW to keep track of them - a homegrown reference manager. My workflow is the following:
- Find a bunch of papers I want to add to my library and downloaded them into a "Papers" directory (I keep this somewhere in my dropbox). - I've setup a "Folder Action" on my "Papers" folder, which runs the *watchFolder.scpt* applescript file every time this folder has new items added. - That applescript will go through each PDF, and call a *newPaperTid *bash file, responsible for creating a new .tid file - Those tid files are created in the appropriate tiddlers/ directory (which is also on my dropbox) - Restart node and voila! This has been working very well for me and I wanted to share in case others might find it useful. Both files can be found on github: https://gist.github.com/diego898/e117cc4aec51511f39d5611a0a65f946 *Note: T*hese files/workflow can *easily* be changed to accommodate anything where you want to respond to some action somewhere by creating a new tiddler. If anyone has any suggestions/improvements/questions I'd be happy to discuss. Best, Diego -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
