Hi Amir, Seann and M Thanks for the feedback, I'm delighted that TiddlyWiki in the Sky is useful for you.
To answer some of your questions, I do indeed plan to adapt the same technique for TiddlyWiki5. As Seann notes, saving changes with the current arrangement can be very slow - I think because often upload speeds are an order of magnitude slower than download speeds on the same line. So, the plan for TW5 in Dropbox is to allow tiddlers to be stored in individual files, and only load them on demand. Notwithstanding the tremendous advantages of TiddlyWiki's single fileness, I think that many people like the idea of tiddlers as files in their Dropbox. The problem with jsMath is caused because TWITS just pulls the TiddlyWiki file out of your Dropbox, and doesn't provide any access to files stored in the same directory, such as the jsMath support files. In the particular case of jsMath I would expect that the files that it is trying to access are actually part of the standard jsMath distribution, and so it should be possible to modify the plugin to reference those files on the web, rather than directly. I've added a couple of tickets reflecting your comments to the Github repo: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki-in-the-Sky/issues Many thanks Jeremy On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 8:07 AM, ramkikura <[email protected]> wrote: > HI! > I've tested it today and seems to work fine except for the jsMath plugin > which I use for rendering math equations.
