Riz,
Again, thanks for this great solution. As primarily a Windows user I would
be keen to see "launch predefined scripts". I think however maybe Google
may be less likely to accept it. Would it make sence to submit it as a
second add on or in a different version.
In the past such script launches had to face the following issues
- Can we pass all the parameters so we could execute it directly eg
"notepad filename" "notepad.exe filename"
- Can we launch batch/cmd/powershell scripts
- If so do they spawn their own commend shell?
- When processing a batch will it? Move on to the next or wait for
the last step to continue (both are good but no control of this not so
good)
- Running "start filename.ext" will open the app associated with the .ext
I do not expect you will need to address these items above, but you may
find these as artefacts as you test it.
The following need not be read or addressed by you but if you are
interested in the potential uses here are some of my ideas.
What do I intend to use this for?
1. I would like to be able to export tiddlers (text) to a file and execute
a rename to .bat .cmd .ps .txt using the script launches
This will allow a library of commands and tools to be delivered or given a
front end with tiddlywiki
2. I would like to launch a script on loading a wiki that will run a loop
program that say watches a folder and can process files deposited there
3. I would like to be able to open Windows File Explorer in a folder
specified in my wiki
4. I would like to be able to launch a program or shortcut with various
parameters from TiddlyWiki such as Chrome User sessions set up for
specific logins and websites, word excel etc...
This would allow a rich graphical menu in tiddlywiki for interfacing with
the Desktop
5. Allow a TiddlyWiki to launch an application on a USB drive it is
installed on
6. Be able to create a database of files/folders/directories in TiddlyWiki
that are readily accessed from that wiki eg after a keyword search
7. Be able to place a TiddlyWiki in each desired folder to document that
folder or its contents. Given timimi now permits such a file to open and be
savable in your default browser this is now user friendly.
PS Admins could use this for documentation
8. More but since I have not yet secured this capability I have forgot many.
There is potential for this in Bob but I have not yet worked through it.
Best wishes
Tony
