The first step is to get TiddlyTools Classic upgraded from TW2.5.0 to the TW2.9.2 (the current build) Unfortunately, I've run into some glitches in that process and it's taking a bit of digital gymnastics to sort it out. Because my file I/O based plugins no longer work, I need to use the standard backstage "import" and "save" functions to build the new TiddlyTools2.9.2 file. However, there are two plugins, HideTiddlersPlugin and SplashScreenPlugin, that seem to kill the backstage. After I import, save, and reload with those plugins present, the backstage is just GONE! There's not even a backstage button in the upper right corner. It's not clear to me why this would be the case, but as long as I don't include those plugins, the backstage remains available. I use Chrome for all my work, and there appears to be a problem with the default "download saver". Starting from an empty 2.9.2, I import tiddlers from an archived copy of TiddlyTools2.5.0. When I then use the backstage "save" command to save the file, it works only if the total target file size is less than about 1550kb. However, TiddlyTools2.5.0 is about 2740kb, and as soon as I try to import ALL of the tiddlers, the "download save" stops working! There *is* a messagebox that says "Downloading/saving main TiddlyWiki file", but the system-based "save as" dialog simply fails to appear. It took me quite a while to figure out the 1550kb threshold by progressively importing just a few tiddlers at a time. It doesn't matter which tiddlers I import... as soon as the target file gets larger than 1550kb, the "save as" dialog goes away. Once I get past these two annoying problems, I can consider the next step: trying to re-write the file I/O based plugins (AttachFilePlugin, SaveAs plugin, and a few others). However, I don't really have a lot of spare time to devote to that effort, and it's unclear that I can even get those plugins to ever work again. Nonetheless, I hope to *eventually* have them working again... someday. -e When the total file size gets to be larger than about 1550kb, the browser's "download file" dialog fails to appear when I try to save. The messagebox *says* its "Downloading/saving main TiddlyWiki file", but no actual dialog box appears. It saves just fine up until that size threshold, but if I try to import any more tiddlers, the dialog doesn't show up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
