Hi again Jeremy.
> But why are you so fixed on the idea of clearing the password field as the > way of indicating which type of save you want to perform? > Hm, not quite like that: In 95% of the cases I want to upload to tiddlyspot rather than download. The only practical way I know to download is to empty the tiddlyspot password field (surely discovered once upon a time by forgetting to set it). There is also the green download button but - come to think of it now - I have no idea where it is located in any other context than in the very system tiddler for it (!!!) On tiddlywiki.com it shows in one of the default tids so there it is obvious, but for TWs in use... ? There are also times I want to save a tiddlyspot to another tiddlyspot - which is also done under the Savings tab... so the result is that the savings tab and the circled tick are my go to places for anything "save". You seem to indicate other options...? Using separate buttons for save vs download is not good becaues it would > either take up sidebar real estate or have to be located every time. > > > But there’s horrendous logical problems with trying to use the same button > for two different functions which can both be simultaneously valid. > No... how could they be simultaneously valid; either there's a password or there isn't. Or do I misunderstand you? Also, because of my extensive experimenting on tiddlyspot, I often click > save only to note it is downloading because I missed filling in the > password.

I'd guess this is the case for most tiddlyspot users. But yeah, I guess I'll see if I can come up with something...
