-*** ''saveFilter'' - (optional) a filter evaluated against each tiddler the wiki tries to save. Tiddlers that match are saved back into this directory instead of the default tiddlers folder. The first matching dynamic store wins, so specificity matters when multiple stores are registered.
-*** ''watch'' - (optional, defaults to `true`) set to `false` to disable the chokidar watcher for this store (tiddlers are still loaded and save-routed, but external changes are not picked up live)
-*** ''debounce'' - (optional, defaults to `400`) the per-file debounce window in milliseconds. File events that occur within this window of a previous event for the same file are coalesced, which avoids duplicated reloads during atomic-rename saves performed by many editors.
-*** Changes to a file on disk are diffed against the tiddler currently in the wiki before being reported, so self-writes performed by TiddlyWiki itself do not trigger spurious reload events. JavaScript module tiddlers (tiddlers with `type: application/javascript` and a `module-type` field) are never hot-reloaded, because that would require restarting the TiddlyWiki process.

-description: Filesystem dynamic stores with live reload via chokidar
-release: 5.5.0
-tags: $:/tags/ChangeNote
-change-type: feature
-change-category: nodejs
-github-links: https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5/pull/9806
-github-contributors: Jermolene
-
-The filesystem syncadaptor can now be configured to treat a folder as a [[dynamic store|tiddlywiki.files Files]]: tiddlers in the folder are loaded at boot, a configurable filter decides which tiddlers are saved back into that folder instead of the default `tiddlers/` directory, and external edits to files in the folder are picked up live by a [[chokidar|https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar]] watcher.
-
-Dynamic stores are declared inside a `tiddlywiki.files` specification via the new `dynamicStore` property on a directory entry. For example, the following declaration loads every `.md` file in a sibling `content/` folder, routes any tiddler with `type: text/x-markdown` back to that folder on save, and hot-reloads changes made by an external editor:
-
-```
-{
-    "directories": [{
-        "path": "../content",
-        "filesRegExp": "^.*\\.md$",
-        "isTiddlerFile": true,
-        "dynamicStore": {
-            "saveFilter": "[type[text/x-markdown]]",
-            "watch": true,
-            "debounce": 400
-        }
-    }]
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-* File events are debounced per file (default 400ms, configurable via `debounce`) to cope with editors that save atomically via rename.
-* Each detected change is diffed against the current in-wiki tiddler before being reported, so self-writes performed by TiddlyWiki itself do not cause reload loops.
-* Deletions on disk propagate to the wiki via the syncer's standard server-side-deletion path.
-* JavaScript module tiddlers (those with `type: application/javascript` and a `module-type` field) are never hot-reloaded; reloading them would require restarting the TiddlyWiki process.
-
-This feature adds [[chokidar|https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar]] as a new runtime dependency of TiddlyWiki on Node.js.
