.meta files

[Mohammad]

I have noticed on Node.js some .meta files are created, for example

• tw-version.tid
• tw-version.tid.meta
  

The content of tw-version.tid is 

<pre>/* TW-version added to site title */

.tc-site-title:before {

  content:"TW <<version>>";

  position:absolute;

  margin-top:-1.9em;

  color:silver;

  font-size:13px;

}

</pre>

Strangely when I stop and reload the server, I noted, my tw-version.tid is empty (nothing in text field) and some extra fields were created in tw-version.tid.

I deleted the fields and correct the tw-version.tid tiddler everything was fine. Stopped/Reload server again and I saw this happened again!

• What is the source of this strange issue?
• What are these meta files?
• How do I stop creation of these file?

Mohammad,

I would guess by the name that meta files are content, not themselves in tiddlers. To create a single file wiki there is html that constructs the HTML file. But I don't know

If you set a tiddler's type field to a regitered "filetype" content-type, then the server will save the "body" of the tiddler separately from "all other fields".

Did you explicitly set your tiddler's type to one of the below types (quoted from "$:/boot/boot.js")? Did you then change that?
```

    // Add file extension information
    $tw.utils.registerFileType("text/vnd.tiddlywiki","utf8",".tid");
    $tw.utils.registerFileType("application/x-tiddler","utf8",".tid");

```

Best,

Hi Joshua,

 Yes, most of tiddlers has type field! 

What do you recommend, remove type field?

It is strange to see on reload a some fields are created! like below

.tc-site-title:   before
