We'll certainly give consideration to the suggestion of using the filename as part of the cookie id, but not as part of the 2.6.2 release - it's too large a piece of work to slip in at the end of the release cycle. However, the baked cookies do offer a solution to your problem - the UserName has

Ton, the reason for the current syntax is that it is conceivable that someone might want to use the value cookie as an option. (Here's a stupid example: someone might have the nickname cookie, which they might want to set as their username.) I know this is somewhat contrived, but there is also

Hi! I was just checking out the beta and I noticed that dates seem to be all out of whack. For example, http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/#PersistentOptions shows date modified 20 December 2010 and http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/#HelloThere shows date modified 15 December 2008 (possible, but unlikely,

Hi! Also, considering that TW already has a backstage mechanism for setting options (Tweak and/or Options from AdvancedOptionsPlugin (1)), it would be nice if such a mechanism were enabled for SystemSettings. It could be added as a tab to existing options, where you could add a tick to make it

This is a very nice enhancement indeed. The syntax however is i.m.h.o. somewhat confusing. Why append the option-name with _cookie:? a) to me it looks like an unnecessary complication of the syntax. b) the syntax more or less suggests (because of the closing colon) that you could still provide a

That's great! Which options do you think should be persistent, and which options should be in cookies? This depends on the use of TW. If it's a document for myself, most of things should be backed, including authorName, autoSave, RegExpSearch, probably sliders' states. AutoSave is most

My suggestion would be that as part of the implementation of persistent (Baked) cookies, consideration be given to including the current file name as part of the cookie ids. I realize not everyone uses multiple open TW files at the same time, but the many uses of cookies in TW currently means

I agree with Alan on using filename as part of the cookie name or perhaps a random ID. Recently, I had four different TWs open, and the username was same in all of them, even though it wasn't supposed to be. As for which should take precedence, I think the cookies. I mean, you set some default
