V 0.1.1 .. initial release - beta
Hi folks,
I want to introduce the V0.1.1 - beta version of my approach to create a TiddlyFox replacement. The plugin is named: "file-backups"
At the moment it only deals with TiddlyWiki5 file:/// based wikis and FireFox 56++ ... I did test it with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.10
It should work with FF 56, 57, 58-beta. ...
How it works: ... IMO 1 image is worth a 1000 words. So have a look at 1000+ images ;) https://youtu.be/dt-nH9jSQ6c
Download and Install from: https://github.com/pmario/file-backups#installation
The backup algorithm is described here: https://pmario.github.io/file-backups/ and in the video
Issues can be reported here in the group and : https://github.com/pmario/file-backups/issues
pull requests: https://github.com/pmario/file-backups/pulls
What's next:
- Improve visual feedback ... So the user knows what's going on.
- Reviewing the video imo showed me how :)
- Fix auto-open issue for ubuntu
- TiddlyWiki Classic support ... detection is already there.
- Save special "tagged" versions (outside the backup rotation) ... github PR work in progress.
- Chrome support (low on my list)

It looks very smart, and a video really works. Thanks
I will experiment and test soon.
Congratulations, great to have another choice.
The backup strategy is particularly interesting.
Thank you very much, Mario,
Tested FF 57.0 on Windows 10. No issues.
The next step is installing DSynchronize from: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/dsynchronize_portable
then set up an automatic synchronization with my favourite cloud service directory, and lastly do the same at my other PC devices.

Thanks a lot! Tested it on Win 7 64 Bit, FF 57. Saving and backups work ONLY if the FF download folder is set to the Windows download folder. If this is not the case, i.e. in the FF options a custom folder is set for downloads, only the very first save (after the "save again!" notice) works, but no later saves and no backups. The temp(x).html is saved to the custom folder.
Anyway, everything seems to work when the TWs are opened from the folder that, in the Firefox settings, is specified as download folder -- standard or non-standard doesn’t matter. Sorry for the confucion, I’m happy ... I think. ;)
You need a catchier name. Like HanoiSaver or 57Savers, or Save-n-back, or FoxySave -- something to make it easy to remember, find, and search for.
DSynchronize works pretty good for me. I am synchronizing the Downloads/MyWikis directory with the Dropbox/Apps/Quine directory so I may work on my iPhone/iPad anytime, anywhere.The interface is fine. What does the "Open Dashboard" do? It does nothing to me when I click it.
cmd.exe /c mklink.exe
have fun!

Thanks Mario
Working with limited testing on my TW Classic and Firefox 56.02 (64 bit)
I have a couple of ideas for improvement I'll add to github, not sure how practical they are.
Thanks for this. Version 0.2.1 tested and working on Windows 8.1 Pro, FF 57, Classic Tiddlywiki.
Thank you very much, Mario!
Runs without problems on my
* Mac OSX 10.13 with FF Developer Edition Version 57.0b10
* Win 10 Pro with FF 57 (auto-updated by FF yesterday)
It seems this is a great replacement for TiddlyFox, with added value using the backup feature! I did set it to 11 files like suggested and we'll see how far I get with that.
Great instructions too with the video.
I'm using your plugin on a PC with windows 10, firefox 57. I've got some TWs on Dropbox and others on the hard drive.
Works like a charm !
Thanks a lot !!!
Feedback is very welcome!
have fun!

Hi folks,
I did just release V0.3.0, which I did mark as release.
Detects, if a file TW is opened in 2 tabs OR 2 windows.
Does it work if the TW is loaded into two different Firefox windows each of which use two different Firefox profiles?
Is there a different possibility, to start FF57 with 2 profiles at the same time?
-no-remote
command line option to start a new Firefox process that is invisible to the first process. [1] By using -no-remote
along with the -P
option to select a different profile, you can open multiple instances of Firefox at the same time, using separate profiles. [2] Selecting a different profile from the one used in the first process is necessary because profiles are "locked" when in use. I'm glad to hear that multiple profiles are doable in the latest Firefox. Though reads a bit cumbersome.
I'm still currently on ESR 52 and can launch profiles from within Firefox that spawns separate processes ... I hope that approach will be possible with the new Firefox too in time.
You need to create a shortcut to the firefox.exe and add a switch to access the profile you want -- e.g. for my setup, I have a profile called wikis:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -P wikis
Quote: When Firefox is running and you try to open another Firefox process, a new window is opened instead, in the already running process. You can use the-no-remote
command line option to start a new Firefox process that is invisible to the first process. [1]

Do you need a plugin, to do this?

PMario asked:Do you need a plugin, to do this?
Yes. I use Profilist Portable. There is also a non-portable version (and slightly easier to set-up).
FYI, at the moment I can't find any Quantum compliant profile managers that will work within FF.
