Maybe it is time to stop using TiddlyDesktop for now. It seems there are some problems with this version of it. Wait for a new version if you still want Tiddlydesktop.
Download empty tiddlywiki from Tiddlywiki.com and use a saver. I love Timimi by Riz. It is kind of a fairy godmother - save and creates backups. It is all about setting it up right. Luckily Riz explains everything here: https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ I love using Tiddlywiki in the browser. Easy to make notes from stuff I read, saving links....and best - to drag and drop plugins and other things from the Tiddlywikis other people show us. I have one of my tiddlywikies pinned in the browser - and thus always ready. This one is used for tips and tricks tested and written in my own language Danish. (After many years this is really the one TW5 I am using all the time). That is due to the fact, that to create it I must have understood something at the time of creating. Also by now I have far more tiddlywikis than I would want to have listed in Tiddlydesktop. I really hope you get to enjoy the tiddlywiki experience soon, Birthe On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 10:45:11 PM UTC+2 LinuxNoob wrote: > Yeah I'm still getting the same error message: > > [9629:9629:0603/160810.303573:ERROR:sandbox.cc(376)] InitializeSandbox() > called with multiple threads in process gpu-process. > > I figured that I can still edit the html files after creating them by > opening the file manually (not using TiddlyDesktop) > > I can use TiddlyDesktop to create the new HTML files, then shut down TD by > exiting the terminal, and then editing teh html file by clicking on the > file where it's stored. > > I'm wondering, besides making saving files a breeze and managing backups, > are there any other benefits to TiddlyDesktop?
