Ciao Mario Your answer is smart but TOO SMART. Its disingenuous :-)
Lets stick with TiddlyFox & Firefox. TF is for LOCAL save, not downloading. And when TiddlyFox is not present the TW Save acts as a download. Which is a pain in the arse because (a) it saves not over your local file but (b) creates a new one in a users "Download" directory; SO (c) the WORN OUT USER would have to open every newly saved instance to carry on. Its UNVIABLE. I think you are missing something. Normal users are not programmers. They are nether interested in, nor competent at, smart workarounds. Just saying :-) Best wishes Josiah On Tuesday, 28 June 2016 15:03:56 UTC+2, PMario wrote: > > On Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 11:42:32 PM UTC+2, Jon wrote: >> >> >> As you may know, TiddlyFox will soon no longer work because API's >>> TiddlyFox needs have been deprecated. >>> >> >> Oh, I've been afraid of this!
