Hi Jeremy,
Don't have a lot of time. Too busy writing a Wiki :)
I downloaded TiddlyDesktop before I did anything else with TiddlyWiki. Some of
what I wanted to do in a Wiki is sensitive, and I liked the standalone idea
that *didn't* require me using my same browser I use for other activities.
TiddlyDesktop no longer runs either after the first run and will always crash
(reproducible bug). Removing the local profile data as the suggested workaround
allows it to run again. To create a TiddlyWiki file from the current
TiddlyDesktop:
1. Run TiddlyDesktop
2. Wait for the main screen to load
3. Click 'Backstage'
4. Click 'Tools'
5. Click '+ new Tiddler'
6. Name it - "Making a TiddlyWiki file with Tiddly Desktop"
7. Save the changes to the tiddler with the checkmark button (it remains
grayed out)
8. Click 'Save Changes'
9. Load up TiddlyWiki in IE, Chrome, or Firefox
10. Enjoy your new TiddlyWiki :)
I followed Jed's advice and used a TiddlyWiki file from the web. All the
behavior is as expected now, and I'm having a great time with it so far. Thanks
for helping creating something so useful and cool too!
Yes, I will stick to stable releases from now on.
Sincerely,
Edwin A Epstein, III

Hi Edwin
I'm afraid I'm also rather confused.

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.

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.

Hi Jed,
Thanks for the quick response. My TiddlyWiki file was actually created by the
current version of TiddlyDesktop. Here's some information from the head: <meta
name="tiddlywiki-version" content="5.1.8-prerelease" />
I was only interested in the fields as a workaround. Currently the only thing I
have needed to add as a custom field is a document-version-number.
" I don't know what you are doing that would get the behaviour you describe."
If I had a nickle....
I'm suspecting some sort of error then internally. Outside of TiddlyDesktop I'm
receiving a consistent javascript error on the page: " Uncaught Cannot find
module named 'fs' required by module '$:/TiddlyDesktop/startup/handlers.js',
resolved to fs"
I will attempt to use something other than TiddlyDesktop to generate the file.
Thanks for confirming that it does indeed support friendly names for the
Tiddlers,
E. Epstein

Subject: [tw] Re: Serious confusion between friendly/core variables for display
Are you using tiddlywiki 5 or tiddlywiki classic? TiddlyWiki 5 is what is
available at tiddlywiki.com .
Tiddlywiki should allow all of the titles you listed. I can't think of any
restrictions on titles. Check out this site for some pointers, and to see that
friendly names are very possible.
Are you talking about field names? Because there are some heavy restrictions on
what field names can be, they can have lower case letters, numbers and the
characters - (dash), _ (underscore) and . (period) only
The title field of the tiddler is the title displayed, so you can't add the
field because it is already there.
I don't know what you are doing that would get the behaviour you describe.
