It does seem appropriate to be in the core.
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPlugin adds "save as..." functionality to the backstage, and also provides a <<saveAs>> macro you can embed in your tiddlers. SaveAsPlugin can create an output file in any of the following formats: * standard TW * TW "pure store" * text-only * CSV (comma-separated value) * XML (for RSS feeds). In order to merge the TW source with the new tiddler data SaveAsPlugin needs to read the contents of the original stored file, then combine the two and write a new file to the target file. Unfortunately, if you have had a drive failure, read access to the original file is, obviously, not possible, so SaveAsPlugin won't succeed. Fortunately, in this circumstance, you can use http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SaveToClipboard to "rescue" your tiddler data by copying it to the clipboard, so you can open a text editor, paste the data, and then save the file to a local drive. Note: SaveToClipboard is a *transclusion*, not a plugin, which means that it can be immediately invoked after importing, without need to save/reload. It is also a *bookmarklet*... if you drag the "save to clipboard" link from the SaveToClipboard Example section and drop it into your browser's bookmarks toolbar, you can then invoke it any time you need: simply click the toolbar button in the browser and the code from the transclusion is invoked on the current document *without ever installing it in that document*!!! enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios ---------- Was this answer useful?
