This is likely an issue that has been addressed here in the recent past. I have been away from TiddlyWiki Group and TiddlyWiki itself for several years now. I have a TiddlyWiki Classic (2.7.1) configuration that I considered nearly perfect for my purposes—note taking and organizing in support of extended writing projects and management of contact information—at the point that I became inactive.

For some time now TiddlyWiki has functioned for me mainly as a contact information backup. I have been running it in FireFox, which I use only for that. A week or so ago after I’d entered some new data I was notified that the Tiddler could not be saved. The notice said that saving should work with FireFox. Other possible reasons given were illegal characters in the TiddlyWiki path name and that the TiddlyWiki file had been moved or renamed, none of which are applicable.

Hoping for a straightforward resolution as my TiddlyWiki configuration skills have atrophied considerably in recent years.

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Ha! This has been just about all we've talked about for the last 2 weeks. ;-)

Good luck!

Eric Hi

I've got around saving issues by using TiddlyDesktop: https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyDesktop.html

Cheers

Thanks, Mark. As It’s not urgent that I get this issue resolved, I’ll be taking my time in going about at. As I’ve been away from TW a good while, except for adding or changing an occasional tiddler, I’ll have to defamiliarize myself with the way the relevant things are done. But I will be checking out the options you suggest.
