Is there a way to download a TiddlyWiki from the web if the author
hasn't provided a download link? I kinda want that TW that has all
those themes built into it, but don't see where to save it...
Sorry for having forgotten about that. Usually every TW has a SiteUrl
shadowed tiddler, from where you can right click and save that
TiddlyWiki: http://change.tiddlyspot.com/#SiteUrl Also, for TWs where that link isn't the correct one, I usually just
copy the location from the browser address bar into a new tiddler,
right click and save it from there to my hard drive.

That's not part of the core functionality though; by default the SiteUrl shadow tiddler points to http://www.tiddlywiki.com.
Would it make sense to set this to the current document's URL on startup, like so: config.shadowTiddlers.SiteUrl = document.location.toString(); Just in case, I've raised a ticket: http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/658
I'm afraid I do not interpret properly your question, as there is an
easy answer: look at the source code of the page and download it
locally - e.g. View / Page Source or CTRL-U with Firefox.
Another possibility: you may not "see" a download link but it may be
hidden somewhere. Have a look at other extensions that enable to get
the list of all links within a page (DownThem All, View page
info, ...)

It is up to the document's author to decide what URL is appropriate
for the SiteUrl value, and setting it automatically would break the
semantics of existing functionality!
For example, the value of SiteUrl is used when generating XML output,
and is supposed to point to the URL where you originally got the
document... not the *current* location -- which would be file://...
after you've downloaded the document.
Note also that some sites do not contain a 'real' SiteUrl tiddler, but
simply set the shadow value via a 'systemConfig' tiddler. Thus,
automatically overwriting the shadow is *not* a viable option.
> It is up to the document's author to decide what URL is appropriate > for the SiteUrl value
Well, that's why only the shadow tiddler is being altered (from the hardcoded link to TiddlyWiki.com). So if a document author wants that changed, he'll still proceed just like before, by creating a regular tiddler called "SiteUrl".

Wouldn't such a plugin simply override the default option, regardless of whether that's TW.com or document.location?

Can someone please walk me through this procedure. I'm having this problem on Tiddlyspot, and can't come up with a solution to save the original tiddler. I'm really new, and don't know what's being said here.
The only solution anyone's come up with is "Don't use TiddlyWiki if you're so darned ingnorant."

The problem I can't seem to communicate to anyone is that when I click on save changes, I get a message that says I must first save to a file before I can do this. If I right click it, I don't get any save options at all. When I click on download, nothing is saved. When I right click on download, and choose "Save Link as..." A void file is downloaded When I do this is IE, I get a 404 error
I've just answered your message to tiddlyspot support, but in case anyone else is following along:

On tiddlyspot sites, the "download" link works by just clicking it normally -- i.e. a left click. No need to right-click and mess about.

I changed the security settings on my browser, and it now downloads
from the download button. But when I open it, it only shows up as
HTML code, which is what the 'save as' window indicates the file type
to be. How can I prettify it?
Another minor issue is that the last change I made, the formatting
codes show up as just that, formatting codes, rather than formatted
text. Any idea why or how to fix it?

Is it actually opening in your browser, or in your text editor, eg Notepad? If you scroll right to the bottom, are the last three lines:
<!--POST-SCRIPT-END--> </body> </html>
..or do you see something else?

That will happen if you type stuff between {{{ triple curly brackets
}}} or """triple double quotes""". Otherwise I can have a look -- you
might like to send a URL to supp...@tiddlyspot.com instead of posting here.

I don't understand it. It's actually opening in the browser. I thought that html would show up as a page in the browser.

If the file is incomplete, you might just see source. That happens from time to time when an upload is interrupted before the whole file is sent. Do you see those three lines at the bottom of the file?

I've actually gone over to using Ubuntu, which is solving some problems, and creating others. It looks like for now I'm able to save the TiddlySpot page I need. I'm going to keep plugging at it. I have about 10 fellows who are looking at, and begining to modify one of my Wikis. I'm trying to lead them into this for collaboration on projects, and when I can't get it to work, it sorta puts a damper on everyone's enthusiasm. Two of the guys are IT types, and the world's greatest experts, so they kind of sit back smirking when it's not working, and aren't willing to try to work it out. It's perfect for what we need, when it's working though.

Maybe you're on top of this but TiddlyWiki is pretty bad at collaboration. If two people are working on the same TiddlyWiki it is essentially a disaster. So, er.. be careful. And do look take a look http://sites.google.com

I have an off-topic issue that I'd like feedback on. I checked with Eric Shulman before sending this, and will do my best to adhere to his requests -- the first being that I ask you to respond directly to me, not to the list/forum.
The second was that I be brief. Here goes: I've been using Linux -- the three major flavors of Ubuntu -- almost exclusively for about ten months. I've encountered a serious problem with Mozilla applications -- Thunderbird, Firefox, Sunbird, and even Swiftdove. They are REALLY slow -- e.g., I can count the seconds before a context menu shows up after right-clicking; scrolling a message list or web page is slow, jerky and VERY imprecise. I've checked this out pretty thoroughly with various local and online Ubuntu-related support groups, installfests, etc. It does not seem to be hardware related. People with brand new machines, uptodate processors, and lots of RAM are experiencing the problem.
I am about to give up on Linux and go out and buy myself an iMac, but before I do I wanted to make one last effort to get a diagnosis and cure. So, my questions: [1] Have any other Linux users here experienced this problem with any of the Mozilla apps? [2] Do any Linux/Mozilla experts have any idea what's going on.
Remember, send your response to me off-list, not to the list/forum.

Hi Eric,
I've been a long-time Red Hat Linux user; a couple years ago I started playing around with Ubuntu as well and eventually made it my day-to-day desktop. I also do my primary development for Mozilla Firefox...
I don't recall ever seeing this type of behaviour. If you figure out what caused it, could you please drop me a line and let me know what caused/causes it? (I'm a member of the Greater Toronto Area Linux Users Group and have connections to a number of other Ontario LUG's.)
Speaking of which, have you tried contacting your local LUG? Also, Georgia Tech looks to have a decent sized group - www.lugatgt.org/

My apologies. I've been admonished about this before. I know the practice here is different from a standard listserv, but I forget what the correct practice is. As I recall, I believe I thought I was doing it the right way.
