Hi Andrew, A download button to retrieve a snapshot of a server instance actually exists, although it does not overload the regular download button, as one might expect. It is hidden in the "server" tab that is created in the ControlPanel when running the node.js version.
By the way, it may be worth noting that while the html file you get with the normal download button is not directly usable, you still can drag and drop it on a running wiki in order to retrieve saved tiddlers. I was glad I could do that after my server got stuck and no sync was possible. Best, Xavier. -- Xavier Cazin On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 3:38 AM, Andrew Lister <[email protected]>wrote: > When I follow the instructions above, I do get an index.html file, but > opening (on my computer) gives me this > > My TiddlyWiki > a non-linear personal web notebook > > ... > > Open Recent Tools More > > × GettingStarted > > close all > > GettingStarted > > Welcome to TiddlyWiki, the non-linear personal web notebook. > > To get started, first verify that you can save changes successfully - see > http://tiddlywiki.com/ for detailed instructions. > > Then you can: > > - Create new tiddlers using the 'plus' button in the sidebar > - Visit the control panel using the 'cog' button in the sidebar to > customise your wiki > - Stop this message appearing by changing the default tiddlers > under the *Basics* tab > - Save changes using the 'download' button in the sidebar > - Learn more about WikiText<http://tiddlywiki.com/static/WikiText.html> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TiddlyWiki" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
