Been using the excellent "savetiddlers" plugin to handle my old TWC files. But often when I open the file afresh I get the error message:

savetiddlers has detected that another tiddlysaver called savetiddlers is install. Currently only one saver is supported therefore - savetiddlers will not activate

Bit of a pain, but there is a work-around I use.

Open up the TW and scroll to the very bottom. Delete the <DIV> that contains:
<div id="tiddlyfox-message-box" style="display: none;" data-message-box-creator="savetiddlers"></div>

save it and you're good to go again... until the next time you close FireFox and reload your TW. Rinse and repeat.

Not sure if it's just me, or is there a bug inherent in the plugin when dealing with TWC?

The tiddlyfox-message-box is injected by the addOn at startup. So IMO it shouldn't be saved to the file. ...

The data-message-box-creator attribute was a convention between BJ and me, so that our addOns, which do the same thing, are able to detect each other. ... It seems there is an issue with TWclassic. somewhere.

I'll have to have a look at my implementation too. Thx for the info
