Check if Saved date info is still the same as actual file on Save #96

Open axgo opened 7 years ago

axgo commented 7 years ago

I'm using the Tiddly environment with two other coworkers, and most of the time don't step on eachothers toes when working with the same file, I believe it would be useful to have the Tiddly Desktop check if the info saved is still the same as the physical file and issue a warning if not, just so We each get a heads up if someone else updated the TW.

A Comparison functionality would come in handy so that I can import just the DIFF tiddlers

Hi @axgo are you working with a single HTML file?

I believe it would be useful to have the Tiddly Desktop check if the info saved is still the same as the physical file and issue a warning if not, just so We each get a heads up if someone else updated the TW.

That could be done. It would indeed be a modification to TiddlyDesktop because the saver modules within TiddlyWiki 5 itself don't in general have the capability of reading files.

My own focus for smoothing out the rough edges of multi-user operation is to work on the client-server configuration under Node.js.

Thanks for your prompt reply, and any improvement made to this Awesome tool. Me and a couple of coworkers are attempting to document our support issues with the use of TW, but since me might run in to each other this could be a useful solution, unless there is another way of doing it?

We are looking at have the support broken down to 4 html files for the type of support given (Apps, Database, GUI, Other) so that one of us is not available the rest of the team can step to the plate.

Hi @axgo one other possibility that you might want to explore is using a WebDAV server. There's good support at the moment in the TW core, with improvements coming in 5.1.14 including a built-in check for overwriting another users changes.

not familiar with WebDAV servers, will have to research a little more on it

Hi, I'm curious to know if this is still possible and if tiddlydesktop is the right way to fix it. I run into it myself all the time when keeping the tiddlywiki on a Dropbox folder and then working on it from different computers. Since one of these computers is always on, I have to remember to refresh the tiddlywiki before making any changes (or even searching for something) otherwise changes can be silently lost. Luckily there is backups..

Thanks, ben
