Saving in chrome

[Simon Baird]

I thought I'd start a thread on this. I know that windows is pretty scarce at at TiddlyWiki headquarters so that might be a hinderance in the short term given that chrome is windows only so far.

Anyone had a look yet? Possible in theory? Needs TiddlySaver.jar? Will never work?

I am looking into it now and will post anything of value.

Windows XP/Vista platforms

Personally I think we should make it work for the Web 2.0 bleeding edge and tiddlyWiki champions, and lobby where necessary to make it happen.

As an IT Professional designing solutions in large corporate environments chrome promises to address a number of issues in one go including;
Application deployment
Virtualised applications
Java applications
Internet/Intranet services
Plugin management
Internet Intranet/Security
Desktop resource requirements bloat
Web 2.0 adoption
Operating system independence (Read from Microsoft)
Browser independence (Read from Microsoft)

I'm confident that the TiddlyWiki-community will make it work. Before
TiddlyWiki, many things were considered impossible (with javascript),
and see what it has become :-)

Jeremy is looking into it.
It should also be considered that Chrome is still an early beta right now.

Might be fixed now. See above.

By the way, there are nightly builds of Chromium available here:

Great news. I've run some more tests, and the latest Chromium
nightlies do indeed allow TiddlyWiki to save changes via the
TiddlySaver java applet. You can download the latest nightly from
Google:

http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/

You'll also need the latest Java beta from Sun:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea/6u10/6u10RC.jsp

The user experience is pretty much the same as Safari - put the
TiddlySaver.java file in the same directory as your TiddlyWiki .html
file, and say "yes" to the dialogue that pops up asking you if you
trust the applet from UnaMesa, the publisher of TiddlyWiki.

The Chromium engineers are to be congratulated for being so responsive
and fixing the bug so quickly.

Cheers

I just tested this as well and can confirm it works. Downloaded the
latest nightly of Chromium and it worked fine (I already had the
latest Java beta).
