Description

Dear all,

I'm using the TiddlyWiki / TiddlyDesktop on a network drive where multiple users can access it. It would be very useful to have a 'Reload' button for the Wiki so that users can easily check if someone else edited the Wiki in the meantime. It would however be even better if the user was notified of changes in the underlying .html file.
Do you think something like this might be possible?

Best regards,
Felix

Research direction

Start by locating the TiddlyDesktop window-loading code and checking how the underlying .html file is accessed on a network drive. Clarify whether the intended result is a manual Reload button, a file-change notification, or both. Done should include a defined user-visible behavior for detecting or reloading edits made by another user.
