Hi David The tiddlywiki.files mechanism is primarily intended for extracting tiddlers out of existing libraries, without needing to modify those files. It’s a lossy process (because not all the files necessarily end up in tiddlers), and it isn’t generally possible to reconstruct the original files from the extracted tiddlers.
You may be interested in the source for the savewikifolder command which does what you’re trying to do but within TW5: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/commands/savewikifolder.js <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/commands/savewikifolder.js> Best wishes Jeremy. > On 22 Sep 2019, at 02:30, David Nebauer <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm playing with a script that unpacks a single json plugin file to > individual tiddler files for installing under a node.js server.
