You are right. .. but the 2 clicks are only needed the very first time a new TW is detected. This behaviour is only needed, since the browser doesn't give us the actually configured downloads directory. We need to save a file, to see, where it is saved, to be sure. This will be a feature request for the mozilla and chrome devs. ... I didn't create it yet, since I need to prepare a minimal test case, so they see, that this API is needed. > Sometimes you may not want to move you tiddlywiki - savetiddlers does not > insist that you move all your tiddlywikis - it open a file choose dialogue > to choose a different location to save to, whereas "file-backups" insists > that you move your tiddlywikis. > That's not true. If you open a TW that is outside of the browser downloads directory it needs to insist, because we can only save to the downloads directory and its subdirectories. As long as a TW is opened inside the download dir, it is just saved. ... The 2 click initial save is still needed. See above. As I did review my own intro videos, I did see some workflow improvements, which are implemented atm but I didn't want to have a fixed directory structure like: tiddlywikilocations > savetiddlers works with all versions of tiddlywiki, file-saver only works > with tiddlywiki5. > That's right. but TWclassic will follow soon. > savatiddlers works with chrome (and other chromium based browsers) > file-backups does not. > That's right. I do intend to port it to Chrome, but that's low on my priority list. > savetiddlers has a once a day backup with date appended to name, > file-backup uses a rotational backup of files, with appending (A), (B) etc > That's right. And once this bug <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3004> is fixed in TW, we both will have much more interesting options to create "out of order" saves. Which can be managed entirely by users. I didn't want to start a competition with the file-backups AddOn, I just wanted to have a choice. The "tower of hanoi" backup rotation schema, is in my head for years, as an alternative for the LessBackupsPlugin from TWcalssic. Since the file names are 100% predictable, there is no need for any internal management algorithm, that can run out of sync. The only parameter, that is really important for the AddOn at the moment is the "save-counter". ... And if the above mentioned bug ist fixed, even this one can be eliminated. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
