You must *never* use the browser's File>Save as... command to save a TiddlyWiki document. This is because the browser does *not* save the original document source as *read* from the stored file, but rather a re-generated version of the document source based on what is currently loaded into the browser.... and, because all TiddlyWiki document content is being dynamically-rendered after loading the file, the browser's version of the document source is different from the actual stored file. To properly save a *local* TiddlyWiki document, you *must* use the "save changes" command in the sidebar. To properly download a *remote* TiddlyWiki document: starting from a link to the URL, *right*-click on that URL and use the "Save Target as..." command... this directly downloads and stores an exact copy of the document on your local system, without any intervening re- interpretation by the browser. Javascript is an interpreted language; as such, errors in the code are not reported until that piece of code is actually invoked. Thus, the 'fact' that your document seems to be working OK after dismissing the message box is an illusion... your document was *not* correctly saved and the TW core code in the file *has* been munged up. As a consequence, even though you might not have encountered any errors yet, you may still get a potentially fatal error when a damaged part of the TW source code is called. Note: for the specific file in question (TiddlyTools' TW +ImportExport.html), you can also go to: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#Download and then *left*-click on the link there. Those links have been specially prepared to use a server-side script (download.php) that automatically downloads the file instead of viewing in your browser. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
