Re: [tw] Problem saving in Safari

[Jeremy Ruston]

If you're able to use Firefox, I'd recommend using the TiddlyFox extension. Click on this URL within Firefox to install the extension:

https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox/raw/master/tiddlyfox.xpi

Subsequently, when you open a TiddlyWiki locally (ie from a file:// URI) TiddlyFox will take over the "save changes" operation. You'll get a confirmation dialog the first time you open a particular TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Hello all,

Really hoping someone can help... I think tiddlywiki would be an excellent tool to help me study for my upcoming sommeliers certification, but I cannot seem to save with the 'Save Changes' button.  I can't save through the backstage area.  It comes up with the message: 

It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include:

- your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera all work if properly configured)

- the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters

- the TiddlyWiki HTML file has been moved or renamed

I have tried downloading tiddlywiki 5 times now.  The 'empty' folder goes straight to my downloads folder, where I normally leave it, but I have tried moving it to my desktop and documents folders with no joy.  I've never been asked to confirm the applet (whatever that means?!).  I'm working with a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5, and my preferred browser is Safari 6.0.  

I've searched several threads, and this seems to be a common problem among the mac/safari contingent of users.  Should I just throw in the towel?

Please keep in mind I'm not terribly computer literate, so telling me to go to my user-whatever-file-thing and save a .java.thingie is not going to help me much....

Many thanks,

Rowan
