This is a bug. https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/686, Once these are fixed, the green bar should go away too.

Perhaps a flag on the import page that the > imported tiddler will replace an existing one would be helpful. > The $:/Import tiddler is like a plugin. So it actually contains the tiddlers that you want to import. It's like a temporary store. So if you have an older version of an existing tiddler in the "import plugin" and you don't uncheck it, it will overwrite your content. That's the desired function if the tiddler select box is checked. ... If you accidentally created an import dialog with an existing tiddler. ... just open it and delete it. So your "temporary store" will be fresh the next time. In the future, there will be a more sophisticated import mechanisms. So it should be possible to get a "diff view" where you see the differences between existing and imported content. .... In the mean time, delete your $:/Import tiddler so you don't forget to uncheck stuff. .... have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
