The fallback "download saver" is trying to save your document **with your changes**. When TiddlySaver.jar (or the other local file I/O handlers) fail, TiddlyWiki triggers the browser's built-in "download a file" mechanism to attempt to save the file by simulating a download event. The downloaded file is actually constructed on-the-fly from the current tiddler content loaded in your browser (including any new/changed tiddlers), rather than merely making a copy of the previously saved file. Most browsers allow you to change the download settings so that it will *ask* for a target filename and folder, rather than defaulting to your Downloads folder. With this setting active, you can navigate to the current document folder, and select the active document to overwrite it with the updated content. Of course, the browser will ask for confirmation before overwriting. I am still looking into some reported problems with the download/save fallback mechanism. It *was* working for all major browsers, and still seems to work for many users, but may have run afoul of recent browser updates for some people on some platform/OS configurations. I am working on putting together the next TiddlyWiki Classic update (v2.8.2), in which I hope to include some possible fixes or workarounds to provide a more consistent fallback handling experience. Unfortunately, due a major family crisis (my Mother had a stroke two days before Thanksgiving!), I've been quite distracted recently. Although I cannot reliably state when that update will be posted, my intention is to release it by the end of this month. -e > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
