This is undoubtedly true, I for one get sick of the fact my Android home screen icon to open google groups allways opens a new tab in Chrome, I have over 99 tabs in my mobile chrome now. Why can I open and reopen a single tab? As Josiah says it is not you responsibility, but by exploring this idea you may be able to make a killer app. From my perspective however there are perhaps already unintended features in Quinoid that we can make use of with little or no impact on you, the app and other users. To browse to and open a text file in a Quinoid window, I could read and snip content from any text file source into a wiki on my phone allowing me to do something more easily than before which I could only do effectively with multiple apps or a desktop. This single app view, just a swipe between the source and my wiki, reduces cognitive load and app switching. My suggestion to treat .tw files the same as html files is similar, at the moment they open as a text file. The advantage is its an extension we can "own". In future clicking or downloading a tw file would allow it to be clicked and open in Quinoid, where you can not do this with html files as they are html and we expect a browser to handle them. But if no one knows or users this file extension it is invisible to them, ie not real additional complexity. I agree with Josiahs approach here not to over complicate but I disagree with his over zealous application of it when it comes to some really simple to incorporate, even incidental features. As always when using a universal client, such as a browser, as built into Quinoid the advantage is it comes with extended features. If there was a feature that may be difficult to add to Quinoid that would be great it would be to print a tiddler as on the desktop open in new window, and print to pdf on the phone, such this can be saved and emailed. I can imagine custom wikis with a proposal, an invitation, a report, a letter, a prospectus and job application etc... with which you can provide some details and email the custom pdf from your phone. I just managed to share from chrome to printer and select pdf printer (Perhaps because of Foxit app on my phone), Attached to demonstrate. Anyway, I am about to update the most recent release an play. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
