Hi Mat

I should briefly comment in case others wonder whether there’s anything helpful.

This is actually a demonstration of two of techniques already used by TW5:

* Saving a file using the anchor tag and the download attribute
* Processing a local file selected with a “browse…” button

That’s a simple parser for reading ZIP files in JavaScript. In TW5 we use the 
following library for parsing ZIPs (it’s packaged in the official plugin 
library as “$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/jszip”):

It’s a nice simple starting point. Again, there are more full featured 
libraries that offer better output.

This is an amalgam of the same file reading technique as above and using 
XMLHttpRequest to read local files. We used to do the latter in TiddlyWiki 
Classic but it got blocked by browsers a long time ago (as the updates to the 
post indicate).
