Hello everyone! What about Qupzilla (https://www.qupzilla.com/)? It uses QT web-engine. Is it possible to have a TW plug-in there? Not that I could write it, unfortunately. :( Ákos On 11/21/2016 7:43 PM, Josiah wrote: > Ciao Mario > > > So they don't let us do this. period. > > Thank you f

Ciao Mario > So they don't let us do this. period. Thank you for the very detailed response on file saving. Its enlightening. It also makes me mildly depressed. Given that I'd like to create a few hundred TW's of novels with an ability to save (in one STANDARD way or another) do you have tho

Ciao Jeremy I push this just a little bit more. I hope it will get a bit clearer where I am coming from. By "universal" I was meaning consistent behaviour by TW on saving & appearance across browsers, screen sizes & devices. Not so much the "universal" as in the common fall-back behaviour in b
