You're welcome. And speaking of great timing... Jeremy Ruston (creator of TW) just put out a new service called "TiddlyWiki in the Cloud" that might make solving some of these issues a non-starter! (he literally posted it today...)
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/tiddlywiki/jpVZquK07Ek Basically, his new service allows you to put your active local file directly into your dropbox, and then access this file thru a web-portal for those times when you don't have dropbox and/or local editing (e.g. another computer, your phone, etc.). Said another way, it acts like TiddlySpot, but thru dropbox... Add in that dropbox has version history, and I'm pretty psyched! I just tested it with vanilla mGSD (3.19), and it's working great. mGSD-E, however, does not work currently. Still beta, and he needs to make it so the tool doesn't access your whole dropbox at once, but it's another way to expand options for the "local editing" crowd. ~ Seann On Monday, October 1, 2012 9:05:31 PM UTC-7, Daniel Baird wrote: > > Thanks Seann! > > On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Seann Hamilton > <seann.h...@gmail.com<javascript:>> > wrote: > > Hey Magnus, > > > > Hopefully you've already found a fix for this, but in case you haven't, > here > > is a breakdown of what I learned when looking into this topic.
