All, I do use TiddlyDesktop in preference to hta's, for desktop interaction, however I want an easy instruction setup for users.
The node versions, and twexe open the server in a Window and the wiki in a browser. This is unkind and confusing to end users, why do they need two windows? That is the beauty of the HTA format. I may add, for simple notepad features hta is more than adequate. I would prefer to associate .tw files with NW The fact is I do care, It would be nice for user to not have to care however. If we made our own exe installable equivalent of the mshtml helper that used chromium (?) and made .tw files behave like hta files on every platform would we have nervana? If tiddlywiki could be treated like a word document download and double click but they open in their own window and save (not in a browser, shared app or with a server running) they will be more intuitive to use.
