Hi Edwin I'm afraid I'm also rather confused.
> My TiddlyWiki file was actually created by the current version of TiddlyDesktop TiddlyDesktop doesn't (yet) support creating TiddlyWiki files. Can you describe the steps you took here? TiddlyDesktop itself is based on TW 5.1.8-prerelease, but as Jed suggests your own wikis should stick with 5.1.7 until 5.1.8 is released. > 'm very new to TiddlyWiki, specifically about 3 hours now. So far it looks extremely interesting, but wholly unusable at the moment. I'm at a complete loss as to how "name" and "title" seem to work on a tiddler. I can't actually add a "title" field which seems to make it a reserved word IMO, but "name" can be added and displayed as a field, which may mean it isn't. Very confusing. The "title" field is a standard, mandatory field and you edit it via the dedicated input box at the top of the edit template. There's nothing special about a field called "name", although it is used internally in some places within the core. You should be able to create a tiddler with the title "Tar error on OpenBSD 5.6" and then link to it with [[Tar error on OpenBSD 5.6]]. Best wishes Jeremy. On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 1:16 AM, Edwin A.
