This version rolled back the ability to "completely" exit from Quinoid just 
by backing out of the app. Instead, if you want to completely exit Quinoid 
(usually in order to refresh a TW file), you can use the "exit" option from 
the 3-dot menu. The reason for the roll-back is to facilitate the new 
"sharing" feature. I'm not sure if sharing will work if Q. is not already 
launched, and it's really tedious to do *all* testing from an emulator. I'm 
sure people here will provide feedback if it's a problem ;-)

You can share text with Q from other apps now, though you have to visit Q 
in order to see the results (because TW has to be loaded into a web viewer 
in order to pick up the files).

*BE CAREFUL! *The capture facility writes to your TW file, and it did 
generate RSOE's, though I *think* I found and fixed the bugs.

When you download an empty, it goes to a Documents/TwFiles directory that 
may or may not be on your "real" external drive. It needed to be a public 
directory, and not a private directory as I originally speculated, because 
the Android Downloader can't get permission to download to your private 
space directly. Once again, I will be interested to hear where it's 
working. Also, any additional HTML files added to that directory will 
automatically go on your Q. list (I may have to dial this back to prevent 
abuse, but that's it for now). This gives you a new way to add files to Q, 
and makes sure that anyone who closed out their device before a download 
completed will still get it. 

Here's some of the notes extracted from the readme. Especially pay 
attention if you want to try the sharing. Currently saves from any given 
session go to one tiddler. Possibly it might make sense for each save to go 
to it's own tiddler. It's kind of 6 of one and a half dozen of the other at 
the moment.

Usage Notes 


Note that there are two file selection mechanisms. "File Explorer" and 
"System Exlorer". "File Explorer" is now inside the overflow menu. The 
"System Explorer" appears as a "+" icon on the action bar. *File Explorer* 
will probably only work with files that Android considers "internal". This 
is due to changes in Android permissons starting with Android 4.4. However, 
the *File Explorer* is probably more efficient than *System Explorer*, so 
if you can get it to work that might be the first choice. In future 
editions, the *File Explorer* may be disabled for Android 5 and greater.

A long press on the line item in the list view will bring up a dialog where 
you can change the display name (not the internal TiddlyWiki name), mark 
the file as browsable, mark the file as a clipboard, or mark the file to be 
removed (in which case, the file will be removed as soon as you confirm 
your choice).

When you've made modifications to a TW file and need the page to refresh, 
you have two options. The first is that you can use the "exit" button to 
exit all of the way out of Quinoid. Then return to Quinoid and continue as 
before. This seems to work.

The other is to import the small tiddler, "Refresh-for-Quinoid.json", which 
should be available along with the releases. After importing and refreshing 
(either before loading into Quinoid, or by backing out of Quinoid as 
outline above), you should be able to use the normal refresh/reload buttons 
made available by TW.

text with Quinoid 

You can send (share) text with Quinoid, though I don't know how robust it 
is, so test carefully.

In Quinoid, you can long-press on an item and select it to be a "clipboard" 
for Quinoid. If you do not make a selection, then Quinoid will use the 
first item in the list by default.

In your 3rd-party application, select some text the usual way and then 
choose to "share". From the selection menu, pick Quinoid. The screen will 
go blank momentarily before returning to your app. Behind the scenes, it's 
activating Quinoid and saving your text.

Back in Quinoid, navigate to your target page. After the page loads you 
should wait until it says "wiki saved." If you check under the "recent" 
tab, you'll see that there is one or more tiddlers with the name 
"Quinoid-Clip-". Currently (vsn 0.0.007) all the text that you shared will 
be in one tiddler. A new tiddler will not be created until you have visited 
the page once.

Various notes and warnings: I don't know if it matters whether Quinoid is 
launched for this to work. Perhaps people can provide feedback. I've tested 
it with Quinoid always launched. I also don't know if it matters whether 
you are the dashboard page or on the browse pages, though it seems to work 
for me either way. Awaiting feedback.

Note really well: The text that is captured is *not* transferred to the 
target TW file until you visit it. So if you use some other tool (e.g. 
web-browser) to visit the page, the new text will not be available.

the File downloader and auto-loading of TW-files. 

Under the activity-bar 3-dot menu, you can tell Quinoid to download an 
empty file. If you are connected to the internet it will fetche the latest 
empty release. It will save this to a TwFiles sub-folder of your public 
documents folder. This subfolder may be on your physical internal drive or 
your external drive, depending on Android version and manufacturer. I 
targeted the external drive, but as far as I can tell, I don't have full 
control. I'll be interested in hearing reports back.

Whatever location is chosen, any TW files (or html files) placed in that 
directory will be automatically added to Quinoid's file list upon start-up.
