[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] TiddlyWiki follow-up

[From: Roger Sperberg]

Kimmo,

Thanks for trying.

I investigated further and learned that saving changes to the file locally 
is very browser dependent.
- In IE some sort of Active X is used
- The Firefox code "delves into the internals of the browser" 

At any rate, the desktop solution is to use an Opera-specific mod that 
involves Java (see
http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=91372for details).

There's a plug-in that allows Safari to save changes, and perhaps this would 
work with the GTK+Webcore browser in the 770.

Or perhaps the author of TiddlyWiki will accede to the pleas to integrate 
Opera support.

At any rate, the microcontent approach of TiddlyWiki seems very well suited 
to the Internet Tablet approach. Take a look at
tiddlywiki.com<http://tiddlywiki.com>and see for yourself (and thanks
to John Holmblad for bringing this to my
attention on this list).

Issue 26

Hi,

I tried it, but it does not seem to work. I could not do exactly as the 
instructions say because
"right click" (long press with stylus) menu does not have "Save link as.." 
or similar option. I tried
by saving it manually but then it pops up dialog "it's not possible to save 
changes using this
browser" when I press the save changes link of the local copy.

Since TiddlyWiki is "just" an html file, you'd think it would run fine on 
the Nokia 770.

However the TiddlyWikiTutorial site says it may not work with Opera, which 
the 770 will come with. The TiddlyWiki.com site says only Firefox, IE 6 and 
Safara can save changes. Without that feature, TiddlyWiki isn't really 
useful.

Perhaps someone with a device could visit
tiddlywiki.com<http://tiddlywiki.com/>and try to save changes (well,
clicking that in the sidebar will give you
instructions on how to save things to a file to which changes can be saved).

All,

I discovered this today from a Linux user group to which I belong:

http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ <http://www.tiddlywiki.com/>

Do you think a tiddlywiki will work with the N770 browser?

Note that one of the tiddlywiki authors mentioned on the aforementioned home 
page has a site devoted to tablet pc's. I guess we need to educate 
Christopher about the forthcoming Nokia N770 so I have copied him on this 
email!
