Hi Marcus I'm sorry you've been having a poor experience with TiddlyWiki.
As you've found, TiddlyFox only provides support for saving changes to the wiki, and doesn't provide a general purpose file API; that's what stops things like the snapshot/saveas plugins from working. However, TiddlyFox is pretty future proof (it even works under Firefox for Android), so the prospects are good for its long term use. TiddlyWiki is under more active development than ever, though, in the form of TiddlyWiki5. It gives you much more flexibility: as well as running in the browser, you can run it as a local server, and therefore work with any browser. It's not fully backwards compatible, though, so you'd have to do some massaging to move existing content over. Best wishes Jeremy.
