Win 7 64 bit - Tiddlydesktop throws internal javascript error

[Brian Kennedy]

I have a problem using Tiddlydesktop on Win7

When I edit a tiddler I (almost) always get an  internal javascript error when I close it or attempt to save it.

However it works fine on Firefox.

It may be relevant to note that I am using it to track tasks as in this tutorial by Francis  Meetze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMGpAW0z_Bo&list=PLzZCajspPU_UjFn0uy-J9URz0LP4zhxRK

As the files are 2MB I have not attached them but will if anyone asks.

My setup is this:

Win 7 64 bit Enterprise ver 6.1

IE is default browser (11.0.96)

TiddlyDesktop version 0.0.9

Editing files work fine on Firefox 57.0.4 64bit (no TiddlyFox)

Thanks,

Brian

Brian,

Further info for the community to know.

• If you turn off Autosave does the fault only occur on save?
  
• Are you using TW5 or TWClassic
• Is this the first attempt to use TiddlyDesktop with this wiki and it has never worked, or it just started after working previously

If you are using TWC on TiddlyDesktop for the first there is value looking through your plugins for save related plugins and disable them, for example less backups plugin.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony, thanks for your help:

I am using TiddlyDesktop with both Classic and TW5 files.

All the files were originally written using various versions of Firefox across Windows and LInux OS's.

So far I have only noticed problems with *certain* TW5 files - not all - and I will be looking into this to try and narrow it down.

How do do I turn off autosave? I couldn't find it in the TiddlyDesktop help - I just found instructions on modifying the backup path and file name.

You mention looking through my plugins - how do I do this in TiddlyDesktop? Do I have to do it in Chromium? (I am assuming TiddlyDesktop installs or incorporates Chromium)

Thanks,

Brian

Update:  I realised I can turn off autosave in the settings widget. But again, I can do this in Firefox, but attempting to do it in TiddlyDesktop causes an internal javascript error.

I think I have narrowed this down.

I get an internal javascript error in TiddlyDesktop if I try to save (manually or automatically) a file where the filename or filepath includes a Greek character (I live in Greece). This may be something to do with how the browser TiddlyDesktop uses internally handles Unicode file paths or file names.

Again, in Firefox there is no problem.

Does that sound like a plausible hypothesis?

I have had the same problem with danish letters in filename or filepath. Changing the names cured the problem. And I did not either have any problems in Firefox.

Hi Brian, Birthe

I’ve confirmed the issue on Windows 10, so I think it’s a general Windows issue. The odd thing is that the same code works OK on the Mac. I’ll investigate,

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Brian, Birthe,

Please try the new TiddlyDesktop v0.0.12 and let me know how you get on:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases/tag/v0.0.12

Many thanks,

Jeremy.

Thank you, Jeremy

I tested a TWclassic file that I had trouble saving before. It saved now with no problems at all. I love, that we can now drag and drop reorder, that will make it so much easier as the list grows.

Hi Jeremy,

v0.0.12 fixed my problem too. No problem now with Greek characters in the file path.

Thanks!
