TiddlySaver was recently updated to work with the latest update to the Java engine that affected permissions for local file I/O with signed vs. unsigned applets.
Unfortunately, Chromebook does not support native Java applets, so TiddlySaver can't be used there. However, as of version 2.8.1 (June 2013), TWClassic provides a fallback handler that uses the browser's built-in "download-and-save" mechanism when no direct file I/O method is available. This works by re-assembling the TW target file from the current runtime memory, and then simulating a "download" event to send the file image to the browser so that it can then prompt you as to where you want to save the file. If you select the same path/filename as the current document, it will overwrite it, saving the changes to the local file. Note that this fallback handler does *not* automatically create backup files, but it does allow you to give a new filename to the current document each time it is saved, so you can manually avoid overwriting the "original" document content until you are satisfied that the new changes are correct. Alternatively, is there a comprehensive, easy-to-follow how-to for > installing TW-Classic on your own domain. > The easiest way to publish a TWClassic document is to simply upload the file to your website hosting space, and name it "index.html". This is exactly how updates to http://classic.tiddlywiki.com (and http://tiddlywiki.com) are published. Once you've uploaded your TWClassic index.html file, anyone visiting your domain will automatically be presented with the complete TWClassic document for viewing in "read-only" mode. You can then periodically update the hosted document by editing a copy on your local computer, and then uploading it to your domain, replacing the previous index.html file. If you want to edit the hosted document directly online, or allow your visitors to edit the document, then a more involved solution is needed. Generally, this requires some custom plugins installed in the TWClassic document to provide an "upload" handler that replaces/extends the default file I/O handlers. In addition, some kind of server-side script or service is needed to receive the uploaded file data and store it in the desired location. One system that has implemented this type of solution is http://www.TiddlySpot.com, which provides 3rd-party hosting for both TWClassic and TW5 documents. There should be some documentation (and a few people on this group) who can help you with setting up TiddlySpot-like services on your own domain. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
