savertiddlers release candidate (0.3)

[BJ]

I have produced a release candidate, version 0.3, so I will use it over the next couple of days, and would ask that others do likewise. Provided they are no issues I will then make the first release.

Again the install instructions are here:  https://github.com/buggyj/savetiddlers

All the best
BJ

Is there a different version number for Windows? It says vsn 0.2 after following the directions.

Thanks!

Hi BJ,

I tried following: version 0.3, TWc 2.9.0 beta3 and 2.5.0 on openSuse 13.2 and FF57beta.
Disabling backups in the plugin and enable backups in TW gives the proper folders, no extra folders are created.
But saving backups is failing, 1 out 2 backups are not saved.
The download message is: readTiddlySaverInstruction57136378393.html, failed blob-source, once you restart the download the is the backup is made.

Have a nice day, Okido

Ok seems to work -- but you have to restart FF.

Win 7, FF 57.0 (64bit)

Ok  I have reproduced the problem so don't need a screen shot

Hi BJ,

I tried to replicate the problem today, but it is no longer there.
The only thing I notice that there is a XML parsing error listed in the console.
If the problem appears again I will make a screenshot.

Have a nice day, Okido

Hi BJ,

Today I tried to run over a symbolic link, this works OK, also writing several backups works fine like with the LessBackUpsPlugin.
At a certain moment it stopped saving partly and the orange dot appears in the download box, see attached doc with the details. When you push the rotating arrow in the download area the file is saved.

Have a nice day, Okido

I tested it with chrome, latest release. The backup-file in the backupdir isn't updated with every store. Only the first store generates backup.

BTW: Is it possible to get a timestamp with at least minutes in this file?

Hi Uwe, its a once a day backup, which why there are no minutes.

On a dev branch I have made a version that allows the backups to be set by the tiddlywiki - but this requires a separate plugin to be install with tiddlywiki5

[Uwe]

BJ, I've seen, that you've provided release 0.5, installed it with Chrome and Firefox 57.0 (from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/57.0/) and it works.

Your idea - to make the backup configurable in tiddlywiki - is better than mine. Can you please give me the links to your developer-release (or are the files under https://github.com/buggyj/savetiddlers/tree/dev/extension the ones I'll need?)
and to the necessary plugin? So I can test it.

(The folder-name "tiddlywikilocations" seems a little bit long, because I have a deep folder-structure thereunder. It would be nice to have it configurable.)

A (hopefully; I don't speak native english) finetune for the text:

How to use

Your tiddlywikis must be located in a directory called
'tiddlywikilocations'. This folder must be created in the download directory of your browser.
Enable backups:    
Subfolder for tiddlywiki-backups:

Last but not least: Thank you very much for your engagement in developing this addons!

[BJ]

thanks for the feedback - it is invaluable.

I think I have fix the problem - there is a new release 0.5

[BJ]

HI Uwe, unfortunately  the necessary plugin for the development release does not yet exist!

At the present time I am most interested in testing the current version to make sure it works correctly.

[okido]

Hi BJ,

I can confirm that 0.5 works on FF57 beta and openSuse 13.2.
No backups get stuck anymore, saving through a symbolic link works, maybe you can add this to the instructions.
After re-loading not in all cases the last TW was loaded, this seems to be solved.
If I run into any issue I will let you know.
Hijacking the saveBackup function and saving with twname + year/month etc. works.

Have a nice day, Okido.
