tiddly-saver is a helper program for Tiddlywiki. It moves your saved Tiddlywiki from a watched path to your desired save folder.
When using Tiddlywiki on Windows 10 Chrome, the default save location is %USERPROFILE%/Downloads/<wiki-name>.html. This makes sense, because you're downloading an HTML page and the default save location is in a user's download folder.
However, I save my Tiddlywiki in %USERPROFILE%/Tiddlywiki. It is then synced from there to my other devices so I can access it anywhere. With my syncing program, I can't select individual files from a folder to sync - I have to sync the whole folder.
This is where this program comes in: It runs in the background, waiting for the watched file path to be present, e.g. %USERPROFILE%/Downloads/<wiki-name>.html. When it see writes to this file, it waits a user-configurable amount of time for the writes to finish (e.g. 2 seconds), then it moves the file to the desired location, e.g. %USERPROFILE%/Tiddlywiki/<wiki-name>.html

- Run the executable, e.g.
tiddly-saver.exe. You will see a pencil icon in your system tray, and a log file will be created in the same folder. - The program will watch in the background for the file and path you configured in
config.yml - If the program notices the file, it will move it to the configured destination
- That's it!
