Hi ch, Jeremy,
Out of curiosity, I added a minimal *tiddlywiki.files* file in a *tiddlers*
subfolder, in order to tell TiddlyWiki 5 that it can also find tiddlers in
the alternate directory. Like so:
cat tiddlers/alternate/tiddlywiki.files
{
"directories": [
{
"path": "../../tiddlers2",
"isTiddlerFile": "true"
}
]
}
This almost works as you wanted, but it still misses the ability to delete
tiddlers in the alternate directory. You'll probably find that more
frustrating than useful, sorry ;-)
