Feature: Open default wiki automatically

Open hugomallinson opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

I'd like a mode (or a command line argument even) that would start directly into a specific wiki (and not display the wiki list).

At least when there's only one wiki this one should open automatically (this worked in a previous version I was using but doesn't work any longer now that I updated to v0.0.7)

Its never worked for me. I only have one wiki and every time I must launch TiddlyDesktop and open it, tiddly has great organisation and browse capabilities, so probably others like us just use one wiki and want to open it all the time, its genuinely a workflow issue (I can't quite explain why, all that mouse movememt and navigating your desktop for the TiddlyDesktop launcher interrupting what you're doing I guess)

My Tiddly-foo isn't strong enough to fix. For me it could even just launch TiddlyDesktop on my default wiki on macOS startup....

I'd like to have this feature too. I have single wiki file and I want to be able to open it with one click. The intermediate window is an extra unnecessary step.

Rather than duplicate this issue I will add

TiddlyDesktop is great for managing ones local desktop with its access to run applications and open windows explorer. However it falls short of a full local application in so far as the wikis must be selected from the Main Window. This is great in many circumstances but once the user has an everyday wiki it is a little limiting.

Would it be possible to flag a wiki in the list to open with TiddlyDesktop or a command line and thus shortcut used to launch a particular wiki?

Users could then autoload there key wiki in the startup process.

Thanks in advance

An option i have found works well is to actually have more than one wiki - work vs personal for example. You can give each nice icons, and suddenly the launcher serves a great purpose. I know this won't work for many use cases, but i mention it as I was suprised how useful and attractive I now find the launcher, where before I thought it was a real pain. So its more curiously a matter of perception than perhaps one might think it is....
