Hi, help me dispel some confusion : I first installed TW5 using npm, and served it via NodeJS because I wanted to have multiple *.tid files rather than one unique html file (see my last question below). My 'tiddlywiki.info' had a couple of plugins, themes, options. Back then, I was using Firefox to access the TW on localhost.
But after a while, I started to exclusively use TiddlyDesktop to launch my TW folder *without ever starting the nodeJS server.* So far, it works, all tiddlers get saved in a separated .tid file almost instantly. Whenever I install plugins via drag-n-drop, they are also saved in the TW folder in separate files. So all in all, this seems to be the perfect solution... but it's probably too easy so I suspect I'm doing it wrong. It seems the correct and official way to install plugins on NodeJS is to declare the new plugins in the tiddlywiki.info file every time (which I never do). Is there a specific reason why this is better than the drag n drop in my situation (where I use TiddlyDesktop only) ? Will I run into some troubles in the long run and why ? Is this a valid use case to create a NodeJS TW installation to get multi-files feature, but use it as a standalone offline wiki wia tiddlydesktop ? last question : initially, I wanted to have separate *.tid files for *backup* purposes but also for *editing*. I was hoping to *create and edit new tiddlers using external text editors *(by using a templated header) : is there anything else to do aside from saving the tiddler with the correct header (say from Sublime Text or Atom) and then refresh the wiki ? is this a common/approved workflow for TW5 ? thanks !
