Hi,
I have been trying to use TiddlyWiki for a long time, but the sheer number of bugs I have encountered has put me off. I keep coming back to see if it is any better. To date, I cannot report an improvement.
I am sure a lot of people will vermently disagree with my previous statement. I stand by it. You are all experienced users of TiddlyWiki, I am a learner. Thus I may not do things in the correct order to prevent the bugs. I have never encountered a message to say that I am doing things wrong, so I have to believe that I have encountered bugs.
My current missive concerns a bug in 5.14. I have a number of files that use TiddlyWiki 5. I was updating one, when I decided to upgrade it to the latest version. Accordingly I used the upgrader to upgrade the file. I did this a number of times as there were problems with the final result. The upgrade failed in one of two ways, either the document presented correctly, but none of the menus, buttons etc worked. Or the upgraded document had two menus, ( the section on the right which controls TiddlyWiki) overlaying each other.
I gave up at that point and decided to recreate my document (luckily it was short), from scratch in an empty TW5. I did this and again there was a bug, a different one this time! Presumably, to make life interesting. On this occasion, I had two documents one after another in the file. The edited file and original empty file.
TiddlyWiki is a very good idea, but unless these bugs can be squashed in a timely manner I shall have to, reluctantly, give up using it. I am wasting too much time trying to get and keep a clean un-corrupted document.
SIncerely R A Evans
