OK, so it seems that this functionality has not made it into the core, and I'm guessing given this message, it's not going to. [Probably for lots of good reasons. Some, not I (I know zip in this area), may dispute 'good'. Not relevant to this thread / not starting a flame war here.] Request: Mayhaps the lack of save as should be impossible to miss as part of tiddlywiki download / intro to tiddlywiki / something? Maybe in that area should be 'recommended plugins for new users' or some such thing. > > ... how might I go about saving my tw to a new location. > http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPlugin > adds "save as..." functionality to the backstage, and also provides a > <<saveAs>> macro you can embed in your tiddlers.

OK, read this far, followed the links, not working, heart attack, come back to article ... ok.

DOH! (-: SideNote: Following the above, and having previously installed the ImportTiddlersPlugin as recommended in another thread, the plugin came in prefixed with %23. Bugette? Looks like my copy/paste of the url munged the # into a %23.

Thank you very much, for being here, for taking the time to write this, for making the code. Sadly, it doesn't obviously work for me. Guess I didn't mention enough details - win 7, chrome. [Also, since time of original writing, have put the old disks into a different machine and am up and running with them. Only challenge is to save the modified tw file back to the drive. So, for example, I've remapped the drive letters to go back to where they should be. {And now Chrome is - really- confused.}] Dragging 'save to clipboard' to the address bar, or clicking it, reveals: Javascript cannot load source file copy tiddler "store area" only? OK Cancel I click ok, go into notepad, Ctrl-V ... nothing. Top right corner: close Loading TiddlyWiki code from file:///X:/myhome/mytw/mytw.html ===== Sorry for this coming extended length, but perhaps it will be useful. At some point I somehow got tw to save to the local drive. It was 2 days ago, so I don't remember the details. Just now, before remembering that [had I done so / recognized successful saves, a path forward would have be to reopen the network drive version, and selectively import from the local version to the net version. Sadly, this is hindsight.] I noticed the .jar file was not in this local disk directory. So I copied it there. (Double-clicking did nothing useful. Failed to load main class manifest attribute from <file> ... Double-clicking the .html (old, saved, local disk copy of tw, having renamed it tw2), the file auto-opened in Firefox (not chrome, sadly, oops), and gives: It appears that this TiddlyWiki has been incoreectly saved. Please see http://www.tiddlywiki.com/#Download for details. [Not surprising, even if irritating - i.e. problem not magically fixed.] But I copy the url from firefox to chrome (chrome doesn't have a file / open menu entry *&%*&%(*&^), to a repeat of the error. [The point of this is to try to get the .jar loaded.] Now ... going back to my original, now modified, good tw: Top right corner: close Loading TiddlyWiki code from file:///X:/myhome/mytw/mytw.html Gets another line - 218296 bytes copied to clipboard. [Good, progress being made.] Sadly, however, go into notepad, Ctrl-V ... zilch. Also sadly, given various bits of documentation, 'save as' in chrome isn't going to get me anywhere. Nor, I presume, is 'view source'. ----- As part of working through this message, I put both <<saveAs>> and <<SaveToClipboard>> in my Main Menu. Both show: 'Error in macro' before it. I'm guessing this is another bit where the loss of the networked .jar file has left calls these macros make unresolvable. ===== Suggestions, ideas? Summary: Looks like stuff is in the clipboard, but Ctrl-V reveals nothing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
