Hi IvanPsy ( Bear with my english, too :-) )
Timimi user here. Two things (same things [email protected] already mentioned before): 1. Mi configuration is different from yours, but in my case, I did the same thing that [email protected] suggested to you under number "1)" , and that solved the confusion: On the TIMIMI app on my PC, I did set a separate folder where all backups are saved. That means: my wikis are scattered in different folders all over my PC, but all backups are now saved in ONE separate folder. I never open that separate folder unless something went wrong with a wiki and I need to access a backup. So when I want to use a wiki, I go to the folder where my wiki resides (NOT the backups folder). There is only one wiki file, so I always use this file and there is no confusion. 2. Regarding backups, I think it is important to follow the advise [email protected] suggested to you under number "2)": Do set a backup strategie in order to limit the number of backup files that are saved! If you don´t set a limiiting backup strategie, your backups folder will be populated with too many backups, which can easily eat up all your storage capacity. For example, I have set TIMIMI to keep only the last five backups of every wiki. (From TIMIMI's list of backup strategies, I did not choose "Tower of Hanoi", but the one that was described as being "similar to Tower of Hanoi".)
