Convert Single TW.html File to a Wiki Folder and, Customising Tiddler File Naming

[kookma]

The below command is used to create a wiki fiolder from a single html file

tiddlywiki --load path/to/single/file.html --savewikifolder path/to/output/folder

The question is can we use a config like the $:/config/FileSystemPaths or a command parameter to customize the tiddler file name? For example I like $__plugins_kookma_kara_history.tid saved as plugins/kookma/kara/history.tid

tiddlers will always be saved in the /tiddlers directory. So it's not possible to create plugins with custom path configs. I would have security concerns if it would be possible for the server to leave the /tiddlers subdirectory.

It should be possible to create a tiddlers/plugins directory and then manually move it to a different plugins directory, that would be visible for tiddlywiki.info plugins section in the .info file

tiddlers will always be saved in the /tiddlers directory.

Fortunately, or unfortunately for me this is not the case. Example

• download empty.html from https://tiddlywiki.com/
• open it in the browser add few plugins (by drag and drop or installing from a library)
  • here for demonstration I install an official plugin (codemirror) and a third party one (favorites)
• from command window convert it to node.js using tiddlywiki --load empty.html --savewikifolder myempty01
• now watch the myempty01 folder

- myempty01
- -- plugins
- -- -- favorites
- -- tiddlers

So I have the plugins folder alongside with tiddlers folder in my wiki folder.

NOTE i:

• the Codemirror is not extracted at all, but it is defined in tiddlywiki.info
• the favorites is extracted under plugins/favorites folder

NOTE ii: I have a working TiddlyWIki on Node.JS with all plugins (official and third party in the path)

Hi @kookma the --savewikifolder command does obey any configuration specified in $:/config/FileSystemExtensions and $:/config/FileSystemPaths, and so I think that that idea might be workable.

However, as @pmario suggests, it is possible that this might represent a security risk: I think it might be possible for an attacker to craft a TiddlyWiki HTML file that when saved via --savewikifolder could overwrite arbitrary files with content of the attackers choosing. If so, that would warrant an issue.

Much appreciated! This works as expected, so I can create a folder structure in my wikifolder.
