Most servers use gzip before the send a file. So you have about 400kByte over the wire. ... One photo on a decent mobile phone has about 3MByte atm. Since it is jpeg it can't be compressed anymore. ... So imo file size isn't the main problem. But you are right. Sending 400k to change 1 byte is kind of an overkill :) I still think the idea that Jeremy had with a decent export / import mechanism + UI is a good one which would fit for many users. eg: You have a local TW copy, where you made some changes. A friend gives you access to his modified version. You drag & drop import it to your TW -> new -> You get an UI, that tells you 80% of the tiddlers are the same. They are not listed. You get a list of tiddlers, that you modified You get a list of tiddlers, that he modified .... + UI described below. You get a list of conflicting tiddlers, because both modified them. .... Here we need a better UI, that let's us see the differences, and let us resolve them. I'm sure there are quite some users, that would be happy with this mechanism, because it has no dependencies. It's extremely simple. An if you only did eg: 10 small changes in the text. Resolving will be fast too. part 1 may be more to follow -m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
