Indeed, the "sync" handling was removed from the TWCore. It was a significant amount of code and, as noted in PMario's reply, remote file access (http://) from local files (file://) is now severely restricted or even completely removed from most modern browsers. There IS an open item to "turn the old sync code into a plugin", but it wouldn't do much good unless you have an unrestricted browser to run it in. Note: when you leave the checkbox enabled in the import panel, the tiddlers you import will have extra fields created: server.host = the source URL where the tiddler came from server.page.revision = datetime stamp of the tiddler when it was imported (e.g, "201310082326") server.type = "file" (a literal keyword indicating the source was a standalone TWC file ) Although the *automated* sync function is no longer present, the above fields can still be useful for updating plugins by manually checking to see if the source tiddler currently on the server.host has a newer datetime than the previous "server.page.revision" datetime stored in the local copy. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
