Hi all,
   I really like the TiddlySnip extension for Firefox, but it has one
major flaw that it cannot overcome.  My TW file is always open in my
browser, and I am usually in the process of modifying one or more
tiddlers.  However, if I use TiddlySnip, it saves that new tiddler to
the local copy on disk.  What that means is if I then go save one of
my edits, it will overwrite the local file and I will have lost that
TiddlySnip entry.
   Here is my idea...  If the TW file checked the local file before it
saved any edits, it could compare the timestamp of the local file to a
value it saved the last time it saved the file.  This would allow it
to detect that the local file was changed since the last time THIS
COPY of TW had saved to that file.  If it detected a difference, it
could prompt the user to reload the local file (keeping the edit
windows) before saving the file.  This would also allow two people to
make edits to the same TW either online or on a server without
worrying about someone overwriting their changes.

Any thoughts?  Does some plugin already exist that provides similar
functionality?  Or did I not explain it very well?  (it is a complaint
I get frequently)...

Thanks!
