Ciao Mark S.

I'm not answering your Mac question as I'm only PC and Android.

What I did want to generally comment is that "residual" ability to access 
the OS via "in TW scripts" is still very worthy.
I think its particularly helpful in stand-alone one-file TW---AND 
TiddlyDesktop, which functions as a "whole".

Part of the issue is, of course, the browser lockdowns on security issues 
have made it very difficult to do that. 
But, FWIW, I was much taken by what Riz managed to do in the (previous) 
release on Timimi for Firefox. Essentially a small OS hooker that passed 
muster and let you launch scripts.

Frankly I do not have the competence to understand the machinations of the 
issue.

That said, I do have enough understanding to know that TW is much more than 
a static web page and OS interaction can more than ice the cake of it.
