TiddlyWiki Mate - Yet another TiddlyWiki saving plugin

Origin

This plugin derives from savetiddlers (buggyj/savetiddlers). Although the original plugin worked well for TiddlyWiki classic for a while, it did not support TiddlyWiki classic any longer. Specifically, version 0.8 does not help saving TiddlyWiki classic at all.

There are still a lot of people who manage their notes with TiddlyWiki classic, an actively maintained browser plugin is valuable to many. TiddlyWiki Mate is built based upon savetiddlers and is more stable and friendly to TiddlyWiki classic.

Getting started for FireFox

1. Install (TBD)
2. In the download folder of Firefox (you can see and change this location in FireFox's preferences), create a sub-directory where to put your TiddlyWiki classic files.
3. Config the plugin like the following:
   • Settings for TiddlyWiki Classic:
     • Root directory: TiddlyWiki Classic (The sub-directory you use.)
   • Settings for TiddlyWiki:
     • Root directory: TiddlyWiki (The sub-directory you use. You can use different root directory for TiddlyWiki and TiddlyWiki classic.)
     • Save backups: checked (Saves backups if checked.)
     • Backup sub-directory: Backup (The sub-directory in the root directory where to save backup.)
   • Location warning message: checked (Pops up useful information on error if checked.)

Scope and limitations

1. This is a browser extension designed to work with chrome and other chromium based browsers, and the new firefox browser (v57 and latter).
2. Due to browser restrictions tiddlywikis must be located below a sub-directory of the browser's download directory.
