Maik, Good idea. I am not a developer so I wont do that -
But; I would think there was some value giving such a submission a little more meat - like you suggested possible users but also; Fully Utilise Browser Technology for personal and offline, desktop use. Support applications on a stick - USB integrating with the internet. Support TiddlyWiki a true evolving web 2.0 application. Noting that security remain paramount however the ability to nominate specific files that have these exceptional permissions will keep the exposure low. The provision of a graphical interface to review exceptions may be helpful. Google group statistics may also demonstrate the size of the community and our activity. Regards Tony TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 03:27, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > this may be off base, but has anyone created a ticket with Mozilla to > suggest an file save API? > may be worth while to do the same with Chrome. . .
