I use the node.js version of tiddlywiki... One functionality that I use a lot is calling tiddlers to open from an external application that's not related with Tiddlywiki, the way I do it is opening links with the follow syntax:

http://localhost:8089/#:[[tiddller1]] [[tiddler2]] [[tiddler3]]

Doing this, I can open specifically tiddlers on my Tiddlywiki once I have their names. So far everything is ok. The problem is that if I open a different set of tiddlers on a new page, after some minutes all my tabs on the browser update to the same set of tiddlers... As an example, let's say that I've opened the set of tiddler above on a page, and then I open a different set of tiddlers on the following link:

http://localhost:8089/#:[[differentTiddller1]] [[differentTiddler2]] [[differentTiddler3]]

In this case, after some time, my first Tiddlywiki tab on the browser containing http://localhost:8089/#:[[tiddller1]] [[tiddler2]] [[tiddler3]] will change to http://localhost:8089/#:[[differentTiddller1]] [[differentTiddler2]] [[differentTiddler3]]... And both of my tabs will have the same content. Is it possible to stop Tiddlywiki from updating its pages like that? Just so if I open different sets of tiddlers on different pages on the browser they will remain the same no matter how much time passes by?

This does not happen on the Bob version of tiddlywiki on node.

With vanilla node The trick is when you update the story river (list of open tiddlers) the tiddler $:/StoryList list field is updated. and All views of the same wiki also update.

I do not know the answer but it involves ensuring this change is not saved.

Thanks for the clarification... My guess is that this is not the kind of thing that I can change directly on the Tiddlywiki page, right?

It seems like the kind of change that requires changes inside its source code.

Which version of TW are you using? This was an issue introduced in 5.1.22 but should be resolved in 5.1.23

Running the command "tiddlywiki --version" I see 5.1.23...

Can you post the contents of the following (shadow) tiddlers:
$:/config/SyncSystemTiddlersFromServer
$:/config/SyncFilter

The `$:/config/SyncSystemTiddlersFromServer` has just the word `no` inside it.

And inside the `$:/config/SyncFilter` there is:

`[is[tiddler]] -[[$:/core]] -[[$:/library/sjcl.js]] -[prefix[$:/boot/]] -[prefix[$:/HistoryList]] -[status[pending]plugin-type[import]] -[[$:/isEncrypted]] -[prefix[$:/status/]] -[prefix[$:/state/]] -[prefix[$:/temp/]]`

That's really odd. I am not sure why the $:/StoryList is being sent from the server to your clients.

Can you check the version numbers of the following plugins:
$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb
$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb

Do you mean two plugins? The addresses you gave me are the same.  But the  $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb version is 5.1.23 too:

Apologies, the second should have been  $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/filesystem
You may as well confirm the version number for $:/core as well.

Unless someone else chimes in the next day or so with an idea as to what the issue is, I suggest opening a ticket on Github.

I see... I'm not completely sure if it happens on a fresh install to be honest, I'll check it. The instance of the Tiddlywiki I'm using is being created for some years already and I've installed and uninstalled many stuff on it. I may have crashed something accidentally...

Both $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/filesystem and $:/core show me the version 5.1.23 as well.

Creating a new fresh wiki and testing it for the same problem is a very good idea.
