All,

Quine v2.3 adds a standard web download saver mechanism to Quine ( e.g. in support of html download anchors "<a href="...." download>" that may be used in any .html files).

Feather Wiki uses a download link to save copies of itself, so this new saver mechanism enables saving for Feather Wiki files.

I have a beta version of v2.3 available for a small number of testers interested testing the feature before I submit it to AppStore - so please let me know if you are interested.

Cheers - Chris.

Chris, 

I have a little tiddly like piece of code I wrote and have been using- I wanted use Quine with it, but not a strong JavaScript engineer, so it saves using download. 

Bottom line, I would love to try 2.3 and see if I can get my little app running in Quine!

All,

Quine v2.3 Beta is progressing - with one fix and one new feature:

1. Fix - Long pressing an image in TiddlyWiki and selecting "Save to Photos" was blocked because I'd failed to include the requisite message asking users for permission to access "Photos". The requisite message has been added and iOS will ask permission to access "Photos" the first time you try "Save to Photos" from a TiddlyWiki in Quine.

2. Feature - Data downloads via '<a href="data:text/html;charset=utf-8,....." download="name">' are now supported. This is an initial/trial implementation, with downloads restricted to "data:text/html;charset=utf-8,.....", to see how much interest and uptake there is before I might expand on the feature in a future release. This is a cautious implementation to help prevent mistakenly overwriting your own wiki. Rather than just dumping the data to the file specified in '...download="name"> ', Quine responds to such data download requests with a file dialog asking where you want to save the file and with what name. The location is initialized with the location of the open Tiddlywiki, and your response is memorized for the duration of a TiddlyWiki session in Quine, so that repeated downloads are user efficient.

I'll release as soon as I have solid beta tester feedback.

Cheers - Chris.

Seems be working for me!  I haven’t quite finished wiring in my payload for download the way I want it… but that’s my problem:  my seasonal skills recover slowly. 😉
