Ciao Mat & Danielo J. >> [...]a UNIVERSAL "Out-of-the-box" TW may well work & can get round browser limits. Why have loads of variant ways when ONE will do?
M. > Interesting and valuable observation!!! I have no competence to tell if it would work, but thats intriguing. I'm not competent either. But I'm gonna give it a whirl in a bunch of browsers. What stands out, at the very least, is a PROOF OF CONCEPT. As far as I understand the history of TW the more restrictive limits on file saving BROWSERS have enforced, and in different ways, have made its life much more complicated than has been healthy for it. In that sense its been a bit of a victim of others' limitations. The "cruft" needed to get round these limits makes it not so easy to enter for many first-timers IMO. J. >> I find it really interesting as a possible way to get away from all the browser & platform plugins. M. > Just so I understand fully; you're (only) referring to tiddlyfox and tiddlychrome, right? Or are there more plugin dependencies? IE has one of sorts. But actually I was not that clear there. I meant any and all browser plugins, as well as work-arounds. And dealing with currently UN-supported browsers. Anyway to get away from these exceptions to a simpler way to save gets my attention. It seems to me that BROWSERS enforced (for security reasons?) limits that have really made life difficult on TW file saving, backing-up etc. The use of a local database seems to be a way they have uniform(ish) standards on as an alternative? I don't yet know enough. But I do think its well worth looking at and thinking about. Danielo's TW instances how it can be done.
