New to TD.  Existing TWs I add to TD work fine, no issues.

Problem:

When I attempt to create a new wiki via TD however the program does attempt to create a new blank wiki. The rub is from there it displays the wiki as if I had selected 'view source' from the browser. All the text and scripting is displayed as ascii text. Everything then freezes and I have to kill the TD process manually to regain control.

Observations:

* TD does not create the file with an extension suffix.
* The OS does recognize the new file as html even without the extension
*  Attempting to remove with TD does not work on the file created.

OS: Linux 5.4.0-58 x86_64
Browser: Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)
TW: Lastest release 5.1.23

Suggestions?

You didn't mention which version of TD you're running. I think people have had trouble with 14. I've been using 13 (when I use it at all).

TiddlyDesktop requires that the TiddlyWiki file have an .html extension, an apparent limitation of the underlying Chrome engine so it’s interesting that extension-less files work for you in desktop Chrome.

The requirement for the .html extension isn't enforced when creating a new wiki, which we will fix for the next release.

Best wishes

Is the "make from existing" supposed to work with folders? Or only standa-alone TWs ? My test just now failed, with no files being copied, but I don't know if that was expected or not. (TD 14 on linux).

Cloning an existing wiki is intended to work with wiki folders, but I can confirm that it’s not working for me at the moment on macOS. I’ve created a ticket here:
