Thanks for getting back to me, Jeremy. That's odd, the savetiddlers command does exist. Can you show the example > you tried? What version of TW5 are you using? The latest is 5.0.0-alpha.15. >
I ran the following script using alpha.16: #!/bin/bash node ./tiddlywiki.js \ ./wikis/empty \ --verbose \ --load home.html \ --savetiddlers [!is[system]] $:/core/templates/tid-tiddler save/home/ text/plain .tid \ || exit 1 I got the following output in the terminal: Executing command: load home.html *Error: Unknown command: savetiddlers* If I understand your needs correctly, you might be better off running TW5 > as a server (with serve.sh or a variant).

I successfully ran the serve.sh script and it loads my tiddlers as expected. However, when I make changes in the browser, those changes are not reflected in my .tid files. There is no output in the Firefox console, nor the terminal when I make edits, add tiddlers, etc. At what point are changes in the browser sent through the server and reflected back in the raw .tid files? This process doesn't have anything to do with the save button, does it? When I click save, I just get a prompt to download an .html wiki.

Thanks again for the feedback. In general, I've been looking forward to using the new tiddlywiki for a while now and once I get the server up and running properly, I'll be golden.
