The "browse" button in FireFox doesn't work properly anymore (as of FF 3.0). While you can select a file *anywhere* on your hard drive, the *path* to that file is not returned to TiddlyWiki... only the *filename* portion is returned. Because no path info is available, the current working directory (the location of the TW document) is used by default. Thus, if your TW document is in: C:/path/to/filename.html and select C:/somewhere/else/with/otherfile.html TW actually tries to import from C:/path/to/otherfile.html The *workaround* solution is to bypass the 'browse' dialog entirely, and manually enter the desired path/file (using URL file:// syntax) in the text input field provided in the import panel. Alternatively, you could install http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CoreTweaks specifically, these two tweaks: 683 FireFox3 Import bug: 'browse' button replacement 604 cross-platform askForFilename() When installed, the text of the "browse" button is replaced with "..." (so you can tell it has been patched) and invokes a *secure* 'ask-for-filename' dialog that correctly returns the full path/ filename information to TiddlyWiki. Note: this patch is ONLY for FireFox. When used with other browsers, the patch is not applied, and the normal 'select file' functionality for that browser is invoked. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
