When you set an alarm, it is stored in the "alarms" field of a tiddler and will be triggered when the specified date/time is reached, as long as the file remains loaded. However, if you want that alarm to persist across sessions (i.e., when you reload the file after closing it or exiting the browser), then you must save the file so the tiddler with the "alarms" field is saved. > Also, are alarms which have expired whilst the computer has been turned > off supposed to trigger when switched back on as I can't reproduce that? > No. Alarms are only triggered while the file is open in the browser. If the date/time for a "once" alarm has already passed (i.e., "expired"), the alarm will never trigger. If the time for an "everyday" or specific day alarm has already passed, it will be triggered the next day, or on the specified day, but only if the file is currently open in the browser. Note that "once" alarms are not automatically removed, even if the date/time has already passed. This allows you to easily change the existing alarm to some future date or time, so that it will no longer be "expired", and will then trigger when that date/time is reached (assuming the file is opened in the browser, of course). -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
