I download an empty TiddlyWiki and open it from the downloads menu (Ctrl +
J). When TiddlyWiki opens in a new tab, the TiddlyFox extension asks if I
want to enable the saving capability for
"file:///C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/A96zmpwS.htm.htm"
I click "Ok" I start by making a new Tiddler with "The World" as it's title.
I click on the Tick-sign ( ✓ ) and then right-clicked on the Tick-sign ( ✓
) that has a circle ◯ around it (Also known as a marujirushi) and selected
"Save Page As" from the menu.
I had an empty file called "TiddlyWiki" in my Documents, so I saved it in
there. When 'Windows Explorer' (Where all the files in Windows are kept)
opened, it's file name was
"My TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook".
So I renamed the file as "The_World".
I close the tab that my Tiddler was in, and then open the file called
"The_World", to see if it saved.
Once again, I'm greeted with the same message from TiddlyFox, except this
time, the files name is
"file:///C:/Users/user/Documents/TiddlyWiki/The_World.htm"
I click "Ok" and I see that the first Tiddler at the top of the screen is
the "GettingStarted" (The one that came with the empty TiddlyWiki).
The Tiddler I made, called "The World" was below it. There was also another
"GettingStarted" Tiddler shown below mine.
Almost the entire page was unresponsive as the only things that worked were
the outgoing links and being able to select which Tiddler I wanted to see
(Because the 'Open' tool was already selected). The Wiki couldn't be edited.
________________________
It turns out (After speaking with Jeremy Ruston), it was because I was
right-clicking the ✓ sign to select the 'Save Page As' option. This takes a
snap-shot of the page, so it can't be edited.
What I needed to do, after downloading a fresh Wiki and opening it, I
left-click the ✓ sign and then in my 'Microsoft Explorer', click on the
'Computer' file on the left-side, and then in the search box in the
top-right corner, enter the file name which is in the URL (For example:
Yyf8jtdY.)
When the file has been found, select it and then Cut and Paste it into an
empty folder, located in the 'Documents' file (So you know where it is). If
you change the name of the file (The HTML file of TiddlyWiki), it's
contents will be unaffected. However, TiddlyFox will ask again whether you
want to use the file saving capability. This is because the plug-in doesn't
recognize the file if it's under a new name. This isn't a problem, as it'll
only happen once, each time you change it's name.
Warning: If you change the file name, be sure to keep the ".html" or ".htm"
text on the end.
Once you've renamed the file, open it up and you'll be greeted with a
message from TiddlyFox. Click "Ok" and you'll find the edits you made in
the 'Recent' tab (On the right-side, below the search bar).
________________________
I think the instructions for Saving ('Working with TiddlyWiki' > 'Saving' >
'Saving with TiddlyFox') a TiddlyWiki, needs to be somewhat more detailed.
The main problem for me, was seeing whether my work had been saved. I
didn't know that new Tiddlers would be seen in the 'Recent' tab.
I hope this helps somebody who's been having similar problems.
