In the control panel, under *Saving > General > Autosave:* I have "save changes automatically" checked. This seems to work, since every time I save a tiddler, it makes a new commit to my GitHub repo.
However, I do not have any TW5 files saved in my Chrome downloads folder. Note that I also checked: "Permit automatic saving for the download saver" under *Saving > Download Saver > Enable Autosave for Download Saver* But that does not seem to be doing anything. Or at least I cannot find any locally saved files. In short, I am not sure how to answer your question: Which save mechanism are you using in your local system? Thanks in advance for your help!
