Hi ch I’m afraid that default-tiddler-location only affects the location for saving new tiddlers; it doesn’t affect the location from which tiddlers are read at startup. The docs could perhaps be clearer:
https://tiddlywiki.com/#tiddlywiki.info%20Files I don’t think that the core currently supports what you’re trying to achieve, but there has been some recent discussion on GitHub that is relevant: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3411 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3411> What is your motivation for the change?
