The application seems to remember which windows were open, but not the location / size of the windows when the application / window was closed - including the main tiddlywiki list window. This would be an excellent feature, especially if (on the mac at least) it also knew the desktop number that it was last opened on as well (particularly for multi-monitor people). I often do different tasks on different desktops, and have a tiddlywiki open relating to that task.
Excellent so far, by the way - it's very useable already in a very short space of time - thanks.

To reproduce:

• Open tiddlydesktop 0.3 app
• Open any 5.0.8 tw
• Make sure autosave is enabled
• Modify something in control panel directly
• Leave tw and reopen -> autosave did not save modifications.

As reported on the TW group:

When saving an empty TW 5.0.10 file in TiddlyDesktop, I get an internal javascript error (see picture) when there is an accented characted in the path.

No problem with TW 5.0.9 files in the same path.
No problem with TW 5.0.10 files in non accented paths.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

Just downloaded tiddydesktop-win-0.0.3 to my Windoze 7 desktop. Having extracted the files and run nw.exe I get a blank window titled 'node-webkit'. I would post a screenshot but there seems little point because it's just a blank bog standard windows window. Also F12 does nowt.
Cheers

Steps to reproduce:

• browse for a TW
• open the TW
• close the window (cmd+w)
• click "remove" on that TW
• browse for the same TW
• click "open"
• observe TW not loading

Unsaved changes should be reflected in the NSWindow's isDocumentEdited property (e.g. the little black circle in the close control etc.) and should ask if the changes should be saved or discarded.
Right now, closing windows with unsaved changes discards them silently.

I love working with TiddlyDesktop.

One situation where I feel a //real// browser superior over TiddlyDesktop is, when it comes to large Tiddlers and searching for some key word on the currently visible page.

It would be helpful to have a search function in TiddlyDesktop also.

My wikis have spaces in their paths. If I don't click on the "open button, but on the row itself, then a new entry is created and spaces are replaced with %20

On a Win7 laptop, downloaded, extracted and launched tiddlydesktop-win-0.0.3. Used it to open my TW Classic version 2.8.1. Navigated around, made an edit; functioning felt good, although slower than Chrome browser. Pressed Save and application seemed to grind to a standstill. Unresponsive, screen artifacting. After a minute or two TiddlyDesktop seemed to shut itself down pretty cleanly. I repeated this experience a few times; seems consistent. Edits are not saved.

It would be useful to be able to run two instances of TiddlyDesktop (with separate configuration) for separating work and personal wikis.

It would be brilliant if there was a fixed download link for latest releases, not containing the version number. The tox messaging clients are doing this in a wonderful way and it would allow for unattended updates.

Hi, don't you think that tiddlydesktop's releases deserves a place on tw main site, maybe by adding a tab to the "release" tiddler ? (see exemple below)

As requested here:

Apparently the nw app does not launch at all (permission is set to executable) when trying from the file manager (nothing happen, no error displayed), unfortunatly i don't know how to launch it from the terminal, i have tried "nw" and "exec nw" with the right path but the cli return this: "bash: nw command not found" anyway i don't have this problem with 0.0.3 which works fine.

On OSx you can open an 'unknown developer app' by

1. Download release from https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases
2. on Download folder right-click on app
3. choose 'Open' from the dropdown-menu
   
4. On the warning that shows up, click on the 'Open' button
   
5. Enjoy TiddlyDesktop:
   

Confirmation does not work in the app no matter whether you have made modifications or not.

The first few saves were OK. I was getting the yellow message with wiki saved.
But after some saves, saving it opened a Save As window and a Cancel cleared the "unsaved" status of the save icon, but my wiki was not saved.
Subsequent clicks also opened the Save As window.

Version 0.0.4 on Windows 7 64bit

node-webkit doesn't provide context menus. We need to add context menus for:

• text editting
• hyperlinks

If a inter-wiki link resolves to a missing file, TiddlyDesktop should provide show a "file not found" error.

I have a few old note files I've imported into my TiddlyWiki that have a huge amount of text in them. I'd love to be able to CMD-F (or CTRL-F for you non-Mac folks) and search through opened items for a bit of text like you can when using a browser.

To avoid having to close and re-open them.

See https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywikidev/TxaxxlS3uw8/discussion

There is currently no convenient way to write ordinary text without it being inadvertantly wikified. For example:

svn://example.com
__stdcall

The double slash is interpreted as the start of an italic run, and the double underscores are interpreted as the start of an underlined run.

We should add support for <nowiki> which would enable:

<nowiki>
svn://example.com
__stdcall
</nowiki>

I am not keen on the <nowiki> syntax because it misleadingly looks like an HTML element, but isn't treated as one.

One possibility might be to extend the current hardlinebreak syntax so that it also prevents wikification:

"""
svn://example.com
__stdcall
"""

URLs for inter-wiki links are currently interpreted as relative to the host HTML file within the TiddlyDesktop app. It would be more useful if the URLs were taken as relative to the location of the TW file.

Currently the zip file contains the loose files and folders comprising the TiddlyDesktop distribution. It would be better if the zip file contained a single folder containing the loose files.

One nice thing about running TiddlyWiki in a full browser is that most of them have built-in spell checkers. It would be nice to have this same functionality in TiddlyDesktop as well.

So bookmarklets can be used.

• Issue 1, hang when opening *.html wiki, seems freeze while taking TiddlyWiki window snapshot => happen for 0.11.4, 0.11.5
• Issue 2, nw.exe process still running in background after closing TiddlyDesktop main window, blocking the next execution of TiddlyDesktop. Work-around is to terminate the nw.exe process with TaskMgr => happen for 0.8.4, 0.10.5, 0.11.4, 0.11.5
• Tested node-webkit versions: as listed above (Windows build)

This is Windows 64bit.
I have opened a wiki file which is located on my mapped network drive - O:
When I click the button, I get an error message saying:
Windows cannot find 'C:\O:\Wikis\mywiki.html_backup'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Downloaded Release 3 onto Ubuntu 13.10. Extracted to a new folder on my desktop. Nothing appeared to happen when I attempt to run nw. execute permission checked - already set. Opened terminal and executed ./nw on the command line.

./nw: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Let's see if I can find it

locate libudev.so.0 #turns nothing up

Libudev1 is already installed. Installed libudev-dev. No change.

Now out of ideas:-)

Please can you explain which GitHub repo the following come from (and where in that repo) and whether /node-webkit is a folder I need to create?

"Download node-webkit-v0.8.4-osx-ia32 and node-webkit-v0.8.4-win-ia32 from the GitHub repo and unpack them into /node-webkit"

Hopefully, node-webkit supports tabs and it's simply a matter of calling a loadIntoTab() method instead of the standard load() one.

Nothing happens when I try to import files from my PC.
The green ribbon on the top shows up, but after I drop the items, the $:/Import tiddler doesn't open.
I have also tried via Tools->Import - again, nothing.

However, pasting text with CTRL+V works. Drag/Drop tiddlers from another wiki also works.

Tested with version 5.0.16

The feature request is to add the regular zooming as it works in the browsers:

• CTRL with scroll
• CTRL with +/-
  TiddlyDesktop should as well remember the zooming % for each wiki after closed and reopened.

TiddlyDeskop gives a saving error when a "white space" is in the path:

home/folder/white space/index.html

applies to:
all platforms

It would be great if when I download the TW desktop app I would be able to quickly open a couple sample TW pages/apps

As requested at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zGnEiTDx9F0#t=366

You could add this info at tiddlywiki.com ... eg community tiddler

Would it be possible to support specifying the TiddlyWiKi file as a command line parameter to nw.exe? I would like to be able to make shortcuts that open specific files directly.

Also, I found it is possible to open a file by dropping it onto the TiddlyDesktop window, but files opened in this way cannot be saved and do not appear subsequently in the TiddlyDesktop list (I am guessing this is an "accidental feature"!).

Hi i'm entirely new to TiddlyWiki (and Desktop) i downloaded the latest release from here https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases

I expected it to be packed with a wiki but i couldn't find anything. So i went to https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/releases to download the latest release. I unpacked that but there was no html file.

What to do now ?

Also i tried to open tiddlywiki.js with TWdesktop and i just saw some javascript so i was surprised that it would let me open files that are not a wiki

Would it be possible to arrange the order of the TiddlyWiki list of files? Drag & Drop ordering would be the ideal. I guess it's not a major thing, but would be useful so that most commonly used TiddlyWikis could be deposited up the top without having to remove and add them all again.

revealWidget slider functionality scrolls the tiddler, so eye looses focus

To reproduce:

• Open: http://tiddlywiki.com/#RevealWidget
• Go to the "Slider" section and click the "Show me" / "Hide me" button.

In normal cases the user focus is at the "Show me" button. ... If you click it the button jumps. So its not clear anymore, which part of the document actually is new. ...

It's also not possible to use, click show, click hide, click show, since you need to move the mouse ..

Username isn't saved outside the current session. Upon closing and eeopinging, username is reset to default "YourName".

Would it be possible to have external HTML links open in the default browser instead of being opened within the TiddlyDesktop package?
I use TiddlyWiki a lot to collate web and other wiki links as part of general note-taking, so this would be really useful as those pages are usually better suited to being opened in a new tab in a browser.

[Title was: How to save changes?]]

It's not clear how to make changes save.

E.g.

• open TiddlyWiki
• create a new tiddler
• click "Save changes"
• see message "Downloading/saving main TiddlyWiki file"
• close TW window
• open TW again from menu
• observe lack of new tiddler

I'm not sure if this is an issue with node-webkit or TiddlyDesktop, but I thought I would try to report it here first.

Using the 0.0.3 release in OSX 10.6.8 - I see a "flickering" inside the windows.

This happens quite often, but in particular

• Inside wiki windows, when I open, edit, or close a tiddler, just after the animation finishes.
• In the TIddlyDesktop window, when the mouse hover moves between wikis

hi i tried linking like this [ext[Logaritmic amplifiers|analog/6LogAntiLogAmplifiers.pdf]] this works but it offers to download the file and choose a location rather then just open the file

When opening a TW from the list in the TiddlyDesktop window in 0.0.1 and then closing the TiddlyDesktop window, it would be nice if the application wouldn't exit and the only window remaining would be the TW that opened in a new window.
This behaviour is expected from document-centric programs on OS X.

Trying out 0.0.4 on OSX for the first time. There doesn't appear to be any option to create a brand new wiki. Only a button to open an existing tiddilywiki.

The default window size overflows the 1280x800 display on smaller Macs.

We should adjust the initial window size to fit without the bounds of the screen.
