Thank you, PMario. Your explanations were REALLY helpful! I will re-enter 
the saver settings and go from there.

[tw5] Re: Long Delay Saving with GitHub Saver

[Dan Hoffman]

I think I've started answering my own question by comparing my TW settings 
to other TWs on GitHub. By removing all of the information I had entered 
under ControlPanel -> Saving -> GitHub Saver, in essence defaulting to 
"Save changes automatically", the long delay has disappeared, which is 
great. My question now is this: What is the purpose of GitHub Saver (i.e., 
under what circumstances would one need to enter that information)? I 
thought I needed that in order to save my changes on GitHub. Maybe there's 
a difference between saving to GitHub and GitHub Pages? I pretty sure I'm 
missing something very basic , so thank you in advance for your 
patience.

[tw5] Long Delay Saving with GitHub Saver

[Dan Hoffman]

I have a new single file TW hosted on GitHub Pages 
. I followed Mohammad's 
helpful tutorial "Tiddlywiki and GitHub Saver." 


I'm able to save changes but there is a long delay (6 - 7 full secs) 
between pushing the "Save Changes" button and seeing the "Saved wiki" 
prompt. 

I've done some comparisons with other TWs on GitHub and they seem to be 
much more responsive. Wondering if I did something wrong or if I need to 
tweak any settings. Currently, my TW is empty with no plugins. Any 
suggestions for a noob? Thanks in advance.

[tw5] Help with External Links and Shiraz Buttons

[Dan Hoffman]

Hello All,

I am new to TW and very much a beginner. I'm using TiddlyWiki on Node.js 

I've learned to use External Links 
 and find myself 
frequently using them to link to various  files, something like this:

   - [ext[Link to PDF|file:///myfile.pdf]]

I've also had luck applying External Links to links generated by Hook 
 (the macOS productivity app). These links 
look something like this: 

   - [ext[Link to Email|hook://email/ABC123.gmail.com]]
   - [ext[Link to Folder|hook://file/ABC123]]

All of this works very well. My question is how I can combine External 
Links with buttons made using the Shiraz plugin 
. In Shiraz, a button looks something 
like this: 

   - <$link overrideClass="btn btn-primary" to="target">My Link

However, when I replace "target" with an External Link (one that works 
without a Shiraz button), it no longer works. Instead, the button treats 
the link as a tiddler title instead of opening the file in the correct app 
(e.g., Mail, Preview, Finder). This is what I expected to work:

   - <$link overrideClass="btn btn-primary" to="
   hook://email/ABC123.gmail.com">My Link

I have also tried this:

   - <$link overrideClass="btn btn-primary" to="
   [ext[hook://email/ABC123.gmail.com]]">My Link

I feel like I'm missing something very basic, but I just can't seem to 
figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 

To summarize, I'd like to combine an External Link with a Shiraz button so 
that that button opens the local file. 

Thank you kindly for any help you might be able to offer.

Thanks so much, Birthe. Simply knowing that someone recently used the app 
from Arlen Beiler is reassuring and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to 
share how you used it and under what circumstances.

Thank you, Mat. Your answer helps me better understand the *subfilter* 
attribute as well as how to control/limit lists. Super helpful!

[tw5] Single File TW: Dropbox vs. "TW5 in the Sky for Dropbox"

[Dan Hoffman]

Hi All,

I'd like to better understand how to use TW with Dropbox. Currently, I'm 
using TiddlyDesktop (0.0.14) with a single file TW. 

My understanding is using TW with a service like Dropbox might provide two 
benefits: 1) the ability to have a cloud backup of my TW, and 2) the 
ability to access my TW on another device (after syncing of course). 

Assuming this is semi-correct, what's the difference between 1) saving a 
single file TW in a Dropbox folder and letting Dropbox do its thing, and 2) 
using @Arlene22's "TiddlyWiki5 in the Sky for Dropbox" 
? Are there advantages and 
disadvantages to each approach?

I apologize if this has already been addressed. I've tried searching the 
community but haven't seen/found a simple explanation on this.

Thank you for helping a newcomer along 

[tw5] Limiting Number of Tiddlers Listed in Recent Tab

[Dan Hoffman]

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to the TW universe. I'm a long-time Evernote user 
looking for an alternative. The more I learn about TW, the more I recognize 
its power and flexibility. I'm currently using TiddleDesktop (0.0.14) with 
a single file wiki.

One of the things I'd like to do is *limit* the number of tiddlers listed 
in my Recent's tab. To do this, I believe I should edit the macro in 
$:/core/ui/SideBar/Recent, which shows the following:

<$macrocall $name="timeline" 
format={{$:/language/RecentChanges/DateFormat}}/>
  
If this is correct, how would I alter this to list (for example) the ten 
most recently edited tiddlers only without the date headings? 

Thank you in advance for this community and any advice someone might be 
able to provide. 

Dan
