TiddlyWiki backs up files by adding a date/time stamp to the filename. The first part of the timestamp (e.g., "20120524") is the date, using format "YYYYMMDD" (year,month,date). The second part of the timestamp (following the ".") is the current time-of-day using format "HHMMSSmmm0" (hours,minutes,seconds,milliseconds, plus a trailing "0")
Thus, if you are editing "index.html", backup files will have names like index.20120524.2037553000.html However, in your directory listing, you also have files with names like: index.20120518.1324255810.20120518.1557503580.html This indicates that you, at some point, *directly* opened a backup file named index.20120518.1324255810.html and then edited/saved it, resulting in the double timestamp in the filename. When you started editing the backup file directly, you essentially "forked" your document. Changes made to the main file are being saved to 'index.html', while changes made to the backup are being saved to index.20120518.1324255810.html ... and, of course, each file save creates a corresponding backup (with the added timestamp). Note that the initial timestamp, "20120518.1324255810", is the same for all these backup files, but the second timestamp varies based on when the file was saved. You should be able to use the timestamp information in the backup filenames to re-construct a timeline of changes you have made, and then hand-merge content from the above two files to re-unify the divergent revisions. good luck! enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios WAS THIS ANSWER HELPFUL?
