[TW5] Popups make TiddlyWiki "dirty" (to be saved)

[Stephan Hradek]

Something I noticed after @PMario solved my popup-issue https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/C9IujCV8S0g

Each time I open one of the popups, my TW comes into a "has to be saved" state.

Understandable as it will alway create a new tiddler to store the popup's current state. Is there any way to render these tiddlers as not-to-be-considered-for-saving?

It's a bit annoying as you cannot be too sure about whether or not you actually need saving or not.

Or is it just me who doesn't like this?

:(

Another occurence of "Please search before you ask"! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Tiddlywiki/I8YunVLvxvY

<<qualify "$:/state/popup/info">>

helped as "$:/state/…" doesn't seem to be eligible for saving.

It's easy to avoid, if you use system tiddlers prefixed with: $:/state/popup/xxxx .. Those tiddlers aren't saved. Just replace xxxx with your base name.

.... But you are right. We need to improve the docs here.

have fun!

Hi,

the "dirty filter" is here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/wiki/config/SyncFilter.tid
