[tw] Confused by most Firefox Quantum save options, and wanting to keep everything synced to Dropbox, here's my SIMPLE method

[David F]

I freaked out when tiddlywiki wouldn't save after updating Firefox and 
while I thought I'd need a new add-on or something, I was becoming more 
frustrated the further I got.

The Getting Started  page was good, 
and it was great that it listed so many options, but I wanted a simple way 
of keeping my tiddlywiki files in Dropbox and working across computers no 
matter where I was.

Oh yeah, and there was no way I was going to rely on remembering to 
save/backup/upload the most recent version each time...


*I use Windows and Linux machines, but primarily Windows for everyday 
note-taking - so this solution is geared toward that environment.*
So this is what I just came up with that is working well for me...

   - Installed the "save tiddlers" Firefox addon: 
   https://github.com/buggyj/savetiddlers
   - Then create a folder within Downloads called "tiddlywikilocations" - 
   put a copy of your old (or a brand new) tiddlywiki file there
   - Then download and install FreeFileSync (open source file and folder 
   backup software). https://www.freefilesync.org/manual.php
   - Set up FreeFileSync to watch the 2 folder locations - the one in your 
   dropbox folder, and the one at tiddlywikilocations within Downloads... set 
   it up for 2-way backups...
   and save the batch file, MAKING SURE you select "Exit" instead of "Show 
   Summary" in the options dialogue window that pops up or else it will only 
   trigger once, unless/until you close the Summary window.
   - Then set up RealTimeSync (included in FreeFileSync), loading the 
   previously created batch file using File - Open, to automatically trigger 
   the backup every time there is a change to any file in the locations being 
   watched in the FreeFileSync setup.

Then open the tiddlewiki file located in "tiddlywikilocations"using 
Firefox, make a change, save it, and 10 seconds later (assuming you left 
the default setting in RealTimeSync), you will see the file appear in the 
Dropbox folder, and the Dropbox sync client upload the new file.
