My apologies for my first post not being very good. It was late and honestly I was still in hysterics over everything. I have TiddlyFox 1.0alpha3 installed, and the original TiddlyWiki was version 2.8.0. I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure what all I did but I tried to recreate some of it using copies of the TiddlyWiki so I could see the error messages. The copies of course already have corrupted characters...
Tried to update using the Backstage > Upgrade method. I hadn't heard of that manual method of updating until you mentioned it. First error I receive: URIError: malformed URI sequence Say okay to that and the next message: Failed to save main TiddlyWiki file. Your changes have not been saved And then it tells me that the upgrade to version 2.8.1 is complete and reloads to an empty TiddlyWiki. After this I got rid of the one that ended up blank and replaced it with the pre.core.upgrade version it had automatically created. Now that I'm more awake and less hysterical I realize that indeed, the file got corrupted through the upgrade process and the pre.core.upgrade file had corrupted characters. There aren't any in the DefaultTiddlers so I failed to notice, but I remember now that little >> sort of thing right after "options" in the right sidebar was replaced with a little black diamond with a question mark in it. A really obvious warning sign, but I just briefly thought: "Has that always been like that?" and moved on... I must have been even more tired than I thought. Anyways, I downloaded an empty TiddlyWiki and imported everything into it. I got a small error message which was what misled me into thinking this was what corrupted everything, but now I realize everything imported just fine... Although for some reason the corrupted characters are displayed differently. I didn't get the error message while importing at first but I realized I had skipped a step. Before importing everything I imported into the empty file all my plugins, as I like to keep a TiddlyWiki file that is blank except for my plugins for whenever I want to make a new TiddlyWiki. So I imported them from the previous version of that plugin file, copied the 2.8.1 file that now has plugins, and imported everything from the file with corrupted Japanese characters. Once I clicked "open" on the ImportTiddlers thing I got the error message: "TypeError: tiddler is null", but I don't think this actually caused anything bad to happen... Well, once I imported everything I opened a tiddler with corrupted characters and was annoyed... Then I went to the 2.8.0 version, opened a tiddler with corrupted characters and completely flipped out. I think that's pretty much it. Sorry if this still isn't very clear, I'm still sort of stressed from all this. Especially since this all could have been avoided if I was more careful and made a backup... Feel free to ask me to clarify anything, I may have missed something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
