I am using the Email macro ( http://devpad.tiddlyspot.com/#eMailMacro)
to create a notification email.

I would like it to have a link to the file, so I use the
permalink='True' option.

However it gives me the link to the file perfectly ok, but uses the
default browser (which is IE).
I would like the permlink to use the firefox browser.

Is there a way of getting a permalink, but opening using firefox?

whatever

Sure, set the Firefox as your default browser. :D
Otherwise, you'd have to set the path to the Firefox browser in front
of the filename, something like:
"file:\\\c:\Program Files\Forefox\firefox.exe" YourFileName.htm
however, the path could change between computers (different OS,
different versions of OS...).

Ist it possible to build a Nice looking link to a permaview within a
Tiddler which reopens the Wiki in the same Tab?
Ther seem to be some Handicaps
a in reopening in the same Tiddler and
b in putting a permalink into a tiddlywiki for it can't cope with double
or Quadrupel Brakets that would be necessary.#
Thanks a lot for help Jan

I think you just need to url encode the permalink inside the pretty
link
so instead of [ you'd have %5B
and instead of ] you'd have %5D

So if your permalink is something like
http://colmjude.tiddlyspace.com/#GettingStarted
you'd put it in a pretty link like this
[[Pretty link|http://colmjude.tiddlyspace.com/#%5B%5BGettingStarted%5D
%5D

Hope that helps

[[Pretty link|http://colmjude.tiddlyspace.com/#%5B%5BGettingStarted%5D
%5D]]

Thanks a lot this could do...
But this seems to be pretty much work!
Ain't there a plugin or something like that for this purpose?

It might help us help you if you described the "big picture" of what you're trying to accomplish rather than implementation details. Perhaps Eric's "story" plugins would be helpful?

http://www.tiddlytools.com/#StorySaverPluginInfo
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#StoryViewerPluginInfo

These both also work with his MatchTags
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#MatchTagsPluginInfo

as does
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#OpenTaggedTiddlers

to create a link to open a set of tagged tiddlers with a single click.

As you can see, getting familiar with the capabilities Eric brings to TW will be very much worth your while. . .
