I've noticed a bug in the drop and drag method of importing that I wasn't planning on reporting just yet because I've had difficulties making it happen consistently. However, since I just lost some work to this little beastie, I've decided to raise it at this time anyway. Fortunately, it wasn't a lot of work but someday someone is going to lose something big.
The program allows you to copy tiddlers from one wiki to another by dragging them from the source wiki and dropping them into the target wiki. The designated drop zone appears in green and does so in both the source and the target wikis... which I find confusing... and persists in the source wiki though it vanishes in the destination wiki. I don't think the green bar should appear on the source wiki at all. The green bar should only appear in the destination wiki. What I have found is that sometimes clicking another the title for another tiddler will cause the Import Tiddler to appear with the selected Tiddler instead of opening that tiddler. I can duplicate that effect by moving the mouse slightly as I click on the tiddler I'm trying to open. In effect by moving the mouse while clicking I'm telling the program to import the tiddler on top of itself. I think this is a bug because I can't envision a case where I would want to import a tiddler into the same wiki it came from. Here's what bit me this morning and that I haven't been able to duplicate. I was importing a tiddler from the Braintest wiki while working on my tiddler "Adjusting TW5" in my destination wiki. "Adjusting TW5" and my desired tiddler appeared on the Import Tiddler list. I hit the import button and it successfully imported the tiddler from Braintest but it also replaced "Adjusting TW5" with the older version from another wiki. So I ended up losing some work. Perhaps a flag on the import page that the imported tiddler will replace an existing one would be helpful.
