No. Not quite. Only be aware that I "saved" a TW and didn't see a message

Mark: Yes, that is what I’m saying. And it’s worse: I let TW save on
tiddler edit and the little popup box in the upper right corner that says
‘saved wiki’ *does* appear to signal the save when the tiddler is changed
from draft to normal. So TW is lying about its status in the user
Mark,
Yes do that. Actually a list of methods would not hurt under an emergency
save document.
Due to FireFox Plugins occurring in the background has lost a lot of work
for me in the past, especially with TWC. I now maintain autosave on every
tiddler edit. I achieve this by using multiple
But you said it runs every 5 minutes. So you kind of have to be aware that

Better to just get a warning from TW that something is amiss.

Mark,
That is one of the reasons why I use external backup.
It ALERTS me on a real save of new. I get a small notification on screen
indicating a new save was found and backed. That way I know if there is a
problem when I thought I saved when I don't see that message. Most

Zyb is saying (I think) that the failure occurred silently. That is, it
didn't announce that it wasn't saving. So your method would fail just like
the DropBox method, because no new edits were being saved to disk.
Maybe TW needs to make a bigger fuss when a save fails so that the user
knows to
I'm thinking this is so useful, it should be added to the list of saving
techniques under "Emergency Export Save". I hope you don't mind if I borrow
your instructions...
Thanks!

ABSOLUTELY. That is why I run redundant backup that checks for changes

Check the list of tiddlers.
adjust the number "25" to make sure you found all your recently modified

Yes, the solution Thomas suggested is one of the last result methods that
always works available when you know that you can't save your file in
another way but have the wiki open.

Hey people,
I feel with Zyb too, data loss is always a disaster or a disappointment at
least. BUT in this case it was probably not necessary!!!
As described in my last post, there is a workaround for even this scenario when

I can feel your pain, since I've lost work from time to time.
Pretty much all open source is really in some kind of beta. Even
professional tools, like Java, make you agree when you use their product
that you won't use it for anything mission-critical. The reason it's always
in beta is that

Given that TiddlyWiki runs in a web browser and there are huge chains of
complication that can lead to issues, IMO, especially for local TW, one
should always also run redundant backup too. The more valuable the data the
more important that is. Its not difficult.
FWIW in my

I'm sorry that you lost work.

I have the greatest respect for your work, Mario, and am eternally greatful

This is why I switched off auto-updates in the plugin settings some time ago.

Yesterday I did notice the same.
At a certain moment I could not save anymore (normally auto saving but got
the download message now), saw the announcement of the new version of the
file-backups add-on, checked my Firefox and saw the add-on had been updated
autonmatically.

What do you mean ‘restart my browser’? I started it up this morning, did
some work (TW5) and then noticed that I couldn’t save it. Went to the forum
and immediately saw your update notice (thanks for posting those, btw)
