It remembers that permission so it won't ask you again for the same file. Furthermore, the goal of TiddlyFox isn't to provide a full set of file APIs, it is just focussed on giving HTML files the ability to save changes to themselves. This is a much less dangerous capability in the wrong hands. Anyhow, I'd like to make some improvements in this area. In particular, right now it is possible for TiddlyWiki files to save arbitrary files using TiddlyFox, which I'd like to restrict. Furthermore, it would be useful if there was a checkbox for "remember this file", and if one could inspect the list of files that have been granted permission, and revoke permissions if required. > At the moment I turn tiddlyfox on when I need to write and off the rest of > the time.
