TWC's file backup mechanism uses direct file I/O functions to either rename or copy the existing saved file before overwriting it with updated content. These direct file I/O functions are no longer available in modern browsers, as it creates a huge security hole. Browser addons (such as TiddlyFox and TiddlyChrome) *might* still be able to use these functions, but AFAIK, neither addon currently does. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
