Thanks for all the sympathy but that's not what I was looking for. I think fears of data loss can keep people from using tw and that would be too bad for this great tool. In older 'classic' tw versions you could set an option that made a timestamped copy every time your tiddlywiki was saved. That led to numerous files, which ultimately led you to shut off this feature. How about a mechanism that creates a backup or lets say 'shadow' copy of your wiki, and overwrites it every time your wiki is saved. Soemthing like '.mytiddlywiki.html'. Your folder doesn't get flooded with timestamped copies, but you still have a recent backup. Doesn't matter whose fault it is, if you loose data. Sure, probably Firefoxs crashes are to blame. The wise developer will protect his users from others f-ups.
Thanks and that's it from me. Keep on truckin! On Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 6:41:12 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Konono > > I'm sorry to hear what's happened.
