This is all great info, and clearly what I need to do. I didn't realize
that there was special behavior for $:/temp tiddlers with respect to
saving. (The only mention I can find on tiddlywiki.com is in "Naming of
System Tiddlers" which I thought was just about naming conventions, not
names which trigger special behavior.) Now I've got to figure out whether
it's doable to fix my app piecemeal -- which has tons of editing fields
which act directly on the tiddler they're on -- or whether I need to
somehow start over with a temp-tiddler-based editing flow. Ah well. You
live and learn.
Thanks again for pointing me at $:/temp.
