Actually, the problem is that Safari does not have *any* native built- in file I/O functionality... which is why the TiddlySaver.jar applet was written: it provides basic file I/O functions in Java that can be invoked from JavaScript code. However, TiddlySaver.jar current does not include a 'file picker' interface. Thus, when using Safari, the SaveAsPlugin (and other plugins that use a 'file picker') falls back to using a simple prompt () function to ask for the desired path/file. It should be possible to add an askFile() function to the applet, but I don't write Java code, so I can't do it myself. The function params would be: askFile(msg,path,file,mustExist) where msg - is a text message to display in the dialog box path - is the initial filesystem path file - is the default filename mustExist - if FALSE, you can enter any filename you want (i.e., for SaveAs). If TRUE, you can only pick from existing files. I posted a ticket quite a while ago that suggested the above function be added to the TiddlySaver.jar: http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/604 but it keeps getting pushed back to a later release. Currently it is marked for *possible* inclusion in TW2.6, for which a release date has not yet been scheduled. -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
