Hi ?@newsfromgod, I think your program has some clever ideas, __but__ I also think, there is a lot of room for improvements: see: https://github.com/ihm4u/twexe/issues/1

Your backups may be .twz for tiddlywiki-zipped and be registered by the OS. So if you click it, it can open one and only one executable. ... How do you intend to support and update all the backup exes? The next version will make all backups obsolete! ..

I learned programming with this language. .. but please let's discuss the behaviour of your program first. And please deactivate the download links until we could discuss my concerns. kind regards Mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
