You can also open any TW file in a text editor or text file viewer and copy/paste the data tiddlers information to any future application; it is not in any proprietary format. I go across several OS' without any problem, so you are protected there as well.

Here is a ForEachTiddler macro I'm trying to include in an application and it is returning 'undefined' instead of what I expect. It could be a typo on my part, but... forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.title.contains(2009-08-04) ! tiddler.tags.contains(status)' sortBy 'tiddler.tag+tiddler.title'

is relatively straightforward, even from your browser without TW. The syntax for the links is simply 'file:///home/alanbcohen/' (on linux) or 'file:///C:/' (on windows). Just use that in a link like [[Browse C: Drive|file:///C:/]] The bad part is that while you can browse drives and see the files

I use relative addressing to get to other files and simply do not specify a drive letter in my links whenever possible. For example, I use OneLevelUp/Wiki as my home directory and my main TW file is 'index.html'. I generally create subdirectories to hold any other files that I need to link to.

Sorry, while walking the dog (yes, I really have one), I had another thought: Another advantage of using directories under the main Wiki directory, if you need to copy/send/move the Wiki, you can just take the whole directory and all of its contents. without worrying about losing any links.

Based on what I've read up to now, it doesn't look like you can make a non-text object into a tiddler, just link to it as an external object. Is that correct, or can you include a picture or a word processing file directly in a tiddler? Up to now, I have used an attachments subdirectory for my
