Hi Simon You're not doing anything wrong, the behaviour you're seeing is the fallback HTML5-compatible saver. It allows TW5 to save changes on almost any browser, without using non-standard features, but with the disadvantage that rather than saving the file back to it's original location, instead it downloads the new copy of the file. As you've found, the end result is that you accumulate many *.html files in your downloads folder. Sometimes that may be what you want - each file acts as an intermediate backup. However, it's usually more convenient to switch Chrome's settings so that it always prompts for the location of downloaded files. With that option selected, clicking the "save" button in TW5 presents the file save dialogue, which makes it easy to select the existing file and then hit return to overwrite it.
Anyhow, all these shenanigans are far from convenient for regular usage; depending on the browser there are a number of other options: * With Firefox (incuding Firefox for Android) you can use the TiddlyFox extension (https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox/raw/master/tiddlyfox.xpi) to allow you to save changes directly * On the iPad/iPhone, use the TWEdit app to view and edit TiddlyWiki5 documents * Run TiddlyWiki5 under node.js as a local web server, so that you can use any browser * I hope to create a Chrome extension similar to TiddlyFox. Chrome doesn't let extensions directly access the file system, instead it will be confined to loading and saving files from a sandbox stored within Chrome. So, the idea is to provide a solid, generic fallback for saving that will work in most circumstances, and a bunch of platform specific plugins to make saving slicker where we can.
