To monitor, view, modify, or delete your current TW option cookies, try this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CookieManagerPlugin Unfortunately, this plugin won't really solve your problem, because FireFox3 is known to have difficulties with retaining cookies for *local* (file://) URLs. Sometimes the cookies persist, sometimes they don't. In any case, even if FireFox did the right thing with local cookies, this wouldn't be sufficient for your purposes, since you intend to use the document on several different machines. As you noted, if TW options are stored as cookies, they are tied to the installed browser rather than the document. What you really need are "portable cookies" -- option values that are stored directly in the TW document rather than in the browser's config files -- so that regardless of where you open that document, the correct saved settings will be applied. The following plugin automatically captures all cookie-based option values and stores them as javascript assignment statements in an auto- generated [[CookieJar]] tiddler, tagged with 'systemConfig'. http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CookieSaverPlugin When a TW document is opened, the core first reads any option values stored in browser-based cookies. Then, when the 'systemConfig' tiddlers are invoked, the hard-coded values stored in the [[CookieJar]] are applied, overriding any cookie-based values that were previously read in. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
