His question wasn't actually about the external stuff.... rather it was about the HTML5-based "download saving" functionality that is now in TW2.8.0... TiddlyFox still provides "direct file I/O" ability when running a local TW in FireFox. This gives you the ability to save all four target files: main file, backup, XML, and empty.html (depending upon your AdvancedSettings, of course). However, if you don't install/ enable TiddlyFox, HTML5 "download saving" can still be used to save your main file (though not the backup, XML or empty.html). HTML5 download saving not only lets you save local TWs in FireFox (v20+) without TiddlyFox, it also lets you save local TWs in Chrome (v26+) or Opera (v15+) without TiddlySaver.jar... and, in addition, HTML5 download also lets you save local copies of TWs directly from an online source, without first downloading the file! Try this: 1) go to http://www.TiddlyWiki.com 2) edit a tiddler (just add something to HelloThere) 3) press "save changes" ... instead of getting that annoying error: "You need to save this TiddlyWiki to a file before you can save changes"... it 'downloads' the document **from current memory**... including any tiddler changes you've made, and gives you the opportunity to save that file locally. Once stored on your filesystem, you can open the local copy to continue editing and saving using either direct file I/O (if enabled) or HTML5 "local download" handling. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
