Further to Mat’s discovery <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/T_v5vSiCEDA/discussion> of the new mathematics operators in v5.1.20, there’s another newly added feature that has also been discussed for quite a long time: a plugin that lets TiddlyWiki save and load tiddlers from browser’s built in “local storage <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_storage#localStorage>”.
At startup, the plugin reads tiddlers from local storage. Any tiddlers that are identical to those built into the file are deleted from local storage. Once the wiki is up and running, any tiddler changes are written straight to local storage. You can install it using the plugin library in a v5.1.20-prelease wiki, or there’s an example here that has it pre-installed: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/editions/full/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Fbrowser-storage <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/editions/full/#$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/browser-storage> You’ll see that even though the wiki warns you when you refresh in the usual way, once you reload it any changes you’ve made will reappear. Browser local storage is not a panacea for TiddlyWiki: • Browsers limit the amount of local storage available to a page, typically to 5 or 10MB • Keeping personal data in browser local storage can lead to unexpected privacy violations • Browsers reserve the right to without warning delete data stored in local storage at any time • Browsers tie local storage to a URL which can lead to problems if you move a wiki to a URL previously occupied by a different wiki The plugin isn’t quite finished; I want to add a more visible indicator for when data is stored in local storage, and a way to delete any stored data and disable it for the future. As usual, questions and comments welcome, Best wishes Jeremy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
