Thought: using this is a way to create a file for a set of tiddlers, one file per tiddler, based on a template for output.
Say a form letter that needs to be generated for a bunch of individuals in a group. It would mean having to deal with File Save As for each file. But not horrible if it is a reasonably small number of files. I am thinking of an enhancement in which file names are automatically generated, so then it would just be a matter of clicking a button for each file without needing to enter a file name.
