[tw5] Re: Workflow and files to automatically create new tiddlers in response to new files: A reference management example

[Rahul Kashyap]

Hello everyone, 

@Diego: I wasn't aware of your script but, came up with another using 
python -- https://github.com/rahulkashyap411/tw_scripts.git  

It also contains a link to the tiddler and a hidden note section where you 
can store your notes about a paper. This is helpful to transclude them 
elsewhere so that you can go to your reference without opening another 
tiddler. 

My workflow is following: 

   - scans the directory _all_papers_Refs/ under each year and checks 
   if this tiddler has already been created and exists in the directory 
   old_all_papers_Refs_tiddlers.
   - If such tiddler doesn't exist already, script creates new tiddlers in 
   new_all_papers_Refs_tiddlers old_all_papers_Refs_tiddlers
   - Then you can manually drag the tiddler to your TW and then put them in 
   old_all_papers_Refs_tiddlers. 

NOTE: it does not check if the tiddler has been already exported in the TW. 
So, after importing the tiddlers, copy them into old directory for next 
time succesful update. Otherwise you'll be importing them again which will 
remove any changes/tagging that you've done to last imported tiddler since 
then. 


Best,
-Rahul Kashyap

I haven't had a chance to make this. I added a feature request to the repo 
for Bob but I don't know how long it will be until it is worked out.

As it is, if you can make your script create the .tid files in the tiddlers 
folder of a wiki using Bob than they should appear in the wiki without any 
restart. It isn't as clean and elegant as I would like but it may work as 
an interim solution.

Hey Jed,

Just checking up on this? Curious if you were able to incorporate it!

I will be happy to write the windows batch to monitor a folder and create the 
tid file if given the requirements. I have written a few baches I call 
sentenials, that react to a file arriving. However it would be better inside 
node if possible.

Keep in mind if this solution can work outside node it would be even better but 
unlikely. 

Regards
Tony

I like this idea. I think that it wouldn't be hard to add to the multiuser 
plugin in a way that doesn't require external scripts and wouldn't require 
a server restart. I may look into that over the weekend.

I also have some customizations on my TW itself to handle papers that I can 
share if someone is interested.
