Further to Timimi use In FireFox I can browse to a folder location such as file:///C:/Data/TW5/Development and see the files there, such that clicking on empty5.1.19.tw would open that file in the browser and Timimi is engaged and works. This means both explorer (other platforms equivalent) and directory browsing in the browser provide a file manager for tiddlywiki files. Especially if we set a standard folder such as documents/tiddlywiki or in windows file:///C:/Users/username/Documents/tiddlywiki/
