Dang but I can't get get this thing to either Save or AutoSave.  It says it's saving when I click the icon but the 'red' doesn't clear and it doesn't save.

Any ideas on how I can trouble shoot this and/or fix it?

Thanks.

You're not telling us any of the information that would help diagnose your situation.

What browser are you using?
What platform are you on?
Are you using node.js or single-file TW?
What saving mechanism are you using?

If you don't know what I mean by "saving mechanism", then you are probably using the default save mechanism. Each time you clicked the icon a copy of your file was downloaded to your download directory. Unfortunately, without a mechanism, each download will have it's own unique file name.

Good luck!

Currently, I'm using Firefox on Windows 10 and am using the standard out of the box saving solutions (i.e. the "save" button).  Single file btw.
It doesn't save at all anywhere and doesn't even register that it was saved (thus the save icon not returning to standard colour).

How did you download or obtain the file?

it's an export backup from twexe.

The backup from twexe seems to be slightly defective. What worked for me was to delete two tiddlers

$:/UploadUrl
$:/UploadName

After that the default mechanism would work again.
