Hi Riz > 1. What is the real use of "default-tiddler-location" option in the > configuration?
The primary use case is illustrated by the "tw5.com" and "tw5.com-server” editions in the TW5 repo. The "tw5.com” edition is an ordinary self-contained wiki folder. The "tw5.com-server” edition includes the additional components required for editing the wiki via the client-server configuration. "tw5.com-server" uses the “includeWiki” option to pull in the tiddlers from "tw5.com”. The “includeWiki” option on its own doesn’t affect where tiddlers are written, though; they still get written to “tw5.com-server”. It gives “copy-on-write” semantics. "tw5.com-server” also uses the “default-tiddler-location” option to override where tiddlers are written, causing them to be saved back to the “tw5.com” edition. In many cases these two options would be used together, but we get more flexibility by having them separate. For example, I often use “default-tiddler-location” to redirect newly written tiddlers to a special “new” folder within the “tiddlers” folder. > More than that, if I create tiddlers with the same name as those already > existing in the folders, they are written to the folder as "mytiddler(1).tid" > and so on. I assume this is not the expected behavior. Is there some other > option I have to set to load tiddlers from the new > "default-tiddler-location"? Or is it a bug? I wasn’t able to reproduce that problem. Can it be reproduced using the tw5.com and tw5.com-server editions? > 2.

Aren’t those two the same? The tiddlywiki.info <http://tiddlywiki.info/> file is in the root of the wiki folder. > There are two possibilities here, either mine is an individual experience and > a bug, or "tiddlers" folder is called as wiki folder now.

That option was added to enable support for the pink “edit on github” banner that you see on https://tiddlywiki.com <https://tiddlywiki.com/>. It’s useful for other wikis that want to offer the same feature. > Finally, not a question - merely an suggestion to consider for the next > higher edition.

Similarly, I can imagine that would be useful. However, the code for loading tiddlers under Node.js would need a significant overhaul to work around the fact that the current implementation is really about *loading* tiddlers (boot.js), with support for *saving* layered over the top (filesystemadaptor), rather than being a single module with full synchronisation between the file system and the tiddler store.
