Thank you Jeremy. You do have a point. I quite literally named the plugin using a name I gave the mGSD html file, used to identify between it and my other TiddlyWiki files. For whatever arcane reason I picked Briefcase and it was just the name I reached out and grabbed. Your argument is valid and I agree, now just have to pick something...
Thank you for the link to the reply by David Allen Company, I would not want to step on toes or infringe. I will update to reflect this new information. Glad there are professional coders like you to keep the hobbyist in line. Ha.
