Which method of saving are you intending to use? For default saving, your file has to go in the browser downloads directory OR, if you change setting to "ask each time" you can save anywhere.
But, if you save with default saving without "ask each time" each save will be made like file(1), file(2), etc. Which means when you restart your browser you will need to find the last file(x) and launch that one. If you use BJ or Mario's save plugin, then for BJ's your file location is <download directory>/tiddlywikilocation/file or <download directory>/tiddlywikilocation/<directory>/file and for Mario's it's <download directory>/<tw you set>/file or <download directory>/<tw you set>/<directory>/file This sounds limiting, but you can put a symbolic link (linux) or a junction (windows) in <file or location> which can point to anywhere else on your hard drive. You can find information for making symbolic links (linux) or junctions (windows) on line. I don't know what kinds of links are available for Macs, but I assume they have them also. Hopefully this clears things a little, Mark On Thursday, November 16, 2017 at 6:29:23 PM UTC-8, AndrewMc wrote: > > Hi All > > I decided to create two new local tiddlywikis last night.
