Hi Edwin > To create a TiddlyWiki file from the current TiddlyDesktop:
Aha, that makes sense. The backstage wiki isn't intended to be used in that way. It's literally the internals of TiddlyDesktop itself, and contains special plugins to make TiddlyDesktop work. The plan is to make it less visible, so that it's not distracting for casual use. Glad you've got things sorted out. 5.1.8 will be out soon, and then there will be another TiddlyDesktop release, too.
