Richard, Sadly Firefox just terminated loosing the response I had already written for you, I have noticed this happen after updates to V56 and is really sad when you have not saved your tiddlywiki, one thing in favor of autosave inside browsers that is for sure.
I am all for TiddlyServer, the last time I used it it was not so strait forward, especially for new users, I will revisit it soon, If you use the approach I am considering you only have to; 1. Start the tool running (In Startup) 2. Configure the location where you want the tiddlywiki to live outside the downloads folder The browser and file manager access should remain the same. Backups and cloning can be supported and people can use there file manger I must suggest that I do not think this over complicating at all, Firstly here I was responding to the Question/Suggestion by Riz. Even without the "centennial" process running this is a workable solution for some. Riz has identified an OS level way to deal with enforced downloads. Perhaps you cant visualize what I have, including the ability to pack such a tool inside TiddlyWiki itself. It need not be complicated as you observe. The Possibilities have being only just being identified. I am always open to constructive criticism, however with respect please be careful not to "Dis" a process of exploration, its at the end of our journey when we can determine the best solutions, to deal with the save problem.
