New Features

  • Warning message when closing windows with unsaved changes (TWC and TW 5.1.8 and above only)
  • Help window
  • Toolbar for TiddlyWiki windows
  • Reveal original file in Finder/Explorer
  • Automatic backups

Note that there is currently no way to hide the toolbar for TiddlyWiki windows. This will be remedied soon!

New Architecture

TiddlyDesktop itself is now an instance of the Node.js edition of TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki HTML files are run within embedded, sandboxed iframes with the "backstage" TiddlyWiki providing services such as saving to the file system.

The advantage of this approach is that the user interface and functionality of the desktop application can now be customised and extended with exactly the same techniques that are used in regular TiddlyWiki.

Coming Soon

The functionality of this release barely matches that of the previous v0.0.3 version, but it lays the groundwork for a number of other features such as

  • configurable toolbars
  • hyperbookmarklets
  • page zoom
  • creating new wikis from standard editions and custom templates
  • dragging _canonical_uri links from the file system
  • multiple languages
  • one-click copying of text to the clipboard from within TiddlyWiki
  • global keyboard shortcut for clipping content etc.

v0.0.3

10 years ago

This third version of TiddlyDesktop has the following fixes and improvements:

  • Access Chromium developer tools with F12
  • No menu bars
  • Fixed problem with paths containing spaces
  • Enabled webkit experimental features
  • Adjusted the main window toolbar to be position: sticky
  • Fixed problem with relative inter-wiki links not working
  • Add "file not found" error indication

v0.0.2

10 years ago

This second version of TiddlyDesktop has the following fixes and improvements:

  • The saving mechanism is now TiddlyFox compatible, so TiddlyWiki5 wikis don't need a special plugin to work with TiddlyDesktop
  • TiddlyDesktop is now compatible with TiddlyWiki Classic
  • Chromium Developer Tools now accessible via a pulldown menu
  • Each TiddlyWiki document is now sandboxed, so it isn't possible for malicious or buggy JavaScript to affect other documents
  • Linux 32-bit and 64-bit builds
