Mario, Clever idea, and it worked perfectly! I had 22 old TWC files scattered around the place, and even though I suspected they had all the same stuff in them, I wanted to make sure it was all brought into my main TW5. So, I did the following, like you said:
1. Backup 2. Download empty TW5.1.8 3. Sort old TWCs by file modification date 4. Starting with the oldest, drag and drop each file into the TW5 and import the tiddlers. I saw your warning about only importing content tiddlers - it seems importing from TWC to TW5 only sees the content tiddlers anyway, so it was a quick job to scroll down each import page and check. 5. I had 22 files to import in all, including a couple of old TW5s. I was more careful with those, because the import showed the system and shadow tiddlers, plus some old detritus from plugins. 6. Now I have a nice new TW5.1.8 with all my old stuff! 7. Profit! Thanks for the idea, Matthew On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 3:54 PM, PMario <pmari...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 11:08:34 AM UTC+2, Matthew Petty wrote: >> >> I have some old TiddlyWiki classic files, and I want to import stuff from >> them.
