I am new to tiddlywiki.I am running debian, I usually use Google Chrome Version 41.0.2272.76 (64-bit).
I have also tried Midori, and Iceweasel 31.5 (Iceweasel is Firefox).
I have been googling, and looking through these forums. Apparently this is long-time problem with tiddlywiki.
I have tried saving in many different ways. No matter what, when I reload the file, my changes are gone. I have right-clicking and save as, I have tried "save page" from the browser. I have tried the circled check mark. No matter what, the wiki will not save.
So far, I am extremely disappointed with tiddlywiki.
Seems to me, being able to reliably save is very very big deal. I don't want to spend all day doing some kind of work, and then find it did not save.
Being able to save with only one particular browser (and I cannot even do that now) is not good enough. I do not always have my choice of browser. Also, I like being able to use the browser I want to use.
Saving is crucial. Saving should be easy, and reliable, and work with any browser.
Because I am new, I am trying to keep an open mind, but this may be a show stopper.

> What does happens under Chrome when you click the circled check mark? The browser should automatically download the modified version of the file, so that the new copy ends up in your downloads folder. You'll need to locate the file and drag it back into the browser to verify that your changes are saved. Can you let me know what is happening when you try it?
The most convenient way to work with TiddlyWiki is to use Firefox with the TiddlyFox add-on. Does that work for you?
When I save it chrome, it wants to name empty (1).html. I specify empty.html and it asks if I want to overwrite. I click yes. The file saves, but when I bring it back up, my changes are gone.
