Arlen,
I'm a part of the minority which cannot use USB sticks at work. Security recognizes and blocks flash drives. The more restrictive my environment becomes, the more I dread the day I can't even get TW at work. I tired to email a copy of my project management wiki to myself at home and it was blocked based on content and file size. I imagine one day I won't be able to email myself an empty wiki from home to work, which is what I did to get it last month. I could get to the website but couldn't download an empty copy. --- Andrew, I think I get the analogy you're trying to make, but I believe the premise is slightly off because Excel is a complete package, meaning it's designed from top to bottom for all "parts" to work together. Tiddlywiki and the browsers are not designed that way. The only way to solve that would be for Jeremy to repackage the single file application as that "Excel"-type of program. I don't know anything about the JSON side of TW, so it could be that it provides this type of solution (?). Also for clarification, TiddlyFox is just a FireFox addon that smooths the user's saving experience. It isn't a tool being manipulated by TW which seems to be how you're describing it. In fact, what you're describing as the future of TW is already in trouble and continues to be TW's recurring problem. Browser security continues to evolve in ways that close off the function TW needs to smoothly save over itself. That elegance is at the mercy of the browser developers. ---- I completely get that mine is an unpopular opinion but I'm not seeing any way around it: Jeremy's fallback measure of using the Save dialog will become the only available way of saving TW in the future. I don't think of it as inelegant; I think TW users just aren't used to it and are loathe to accept it. Like I said before, we got used to a different experience. We have the expectation of it. Maybe it's time we reset our expectations on this one thing? Is it truly so disruptive to the user experience? I don't think so. >From my point of view, it's actually much easier now that TW "falls back" to the Save dialog.
