TW5 - Can't open my encrypted wiki due to error in tiddler

[Dave Gantose]

I have all my project notes in TW5, say 50 tiddlers or so. Encryption is turned on for this wiki, so when it is closed, I need to enter a password to open it.

I usually leave the wiki open on my desktop, but we had a power outage this weekend so I had to restart Firefox. When I went to open my tiddly wiki and entered the encryption password, a dialog box eventually popped up warning about an unresponsive script and asking me to click either "Stop script" or "Continue".

At the same time in the background, I can see the "Table of Contents" tiddler that I tried to set up as my default tiddler. If I scroll down, I can see that I made some sort of mistake in this tiddler such that when it tries to display the titles of all tiddlers with tag "notes", one tiddler's name is reflected over and over off to infinity.

So it's not able to finish displaying my "Table of Contents" tiddler, and if I click "Continue" in the Warning dialog, it eventually gives me the same warning again, then next time I click "Continue", it quits trying and leaves the encryption password dialog displayed.

Likewise, if I click "Stop script" in the warning dialog, it immediately returns to the encryption password dialog.

Is there any way I can get it to skip trying to display the default "Table of Contents" tiddler and go ahead and finish decrypting the file?

Thanks,
Dave G.

Try navigating to a different tiddler - it should work even with a missing tiddler:

file:///mydir/file.html#HelloThere

That should skip displaying the TOC tiddler. Then you can overwrite it with a new tiddler of the same name.

Best wishes

Thank you, Jeremy, that did it. Obviously I am still learning as I go...
