Kate, I don't think there's a way to change the open/save path of an existing file in TiddlyDesktop, but after moving the file on your hard drive, if you click "remove", then "add wiki file" in TiddlyDesktop, you can reselect the file in its new location. This won't affect your data at all since all the content is stored in the wiki file, not in TiddlyDesktop.
