Me too, that's why I want to do this. But my approach will be quite different. First of all, ti will be focused mainly on source code and plaint text files. What I want to provide is a way to search inside the text of those files, and, of course, display them within TW. > > I'm wondering, though, (why) do you actually need any *meta* files? > Won't plain tiddlers do, pointing to a file in some folder on that file > system? > I'm not sure what a tiddler "pointing" to a file means to you. Could you elaborate this? Is a tiddler that has a field that points to the file location? Is a tiddler that embeds that file? What do you mean exactly? The meta files are needed for allow the user to add tags and fields to the tiddler without writing that information to the original file. I think I will not use meta files but something similar to tiddlywiki.files is. > > That's quite different approach, > you're not actually pulling these files into the wiki, > you're merely referencing them. > Yes, I'm pulling those files into the wiki. That's the idea. That is the only way to provide text search, which is my main goal. I used to include lots of code snippets in my wiki, and sometimes I would love to be able to search within my "full" source code folders in the same way.

Isn't it? So the only thing available for searching is the title, and maybe the extra information you add to the tiddler that links to the original file. It is definitively a different approach, and in some way I like it very much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
