Diego, That sounds interesting, and I imagine I could use it at some point in the future to build a PDF repository, PDF being a valuable resource today.
I was hoping for a solution on any type of tiddlywiki file or folder, without external requirements if possible, I want to add this feature into the import process if at all possible. I suspect what I need is a subset of your solution if you can add the prefix at import time. By the sound of it, you are doing this at the point you convert a PDF to a Tiddler. I want to import already existing tiddlers as tid files or json files. The truth is the tool I want to build is for one, not many to control the import of tiddlers then review and edit so I could build it on Node, however this may be an unnecessary dependency. I can see its value for everyone. Attached is a mockup. An aexample of importing tiddlers from a json file, You could imagine in the example the tiddlers were imported as import1.$:/PSaT/macros/SysTimetine import1.$:/PSaT/ui/SideBar/RecentSys Any tips or code snippits appreciated, Regards Tony On Friday, June 22, 2018 at 11:36:04 AM UTC+10, Diego Mesa wrote: > > Hey Tony, > > I accomplish this with my node version using a bash script and "Folder > Actions" on OSX.
