"You need to save this TiddlyWiki to a file before you can save changes" message

[Hal]

I have uploaded a TW file onto a server, using the BidiX UploadPlugin.
I followed the directions given in http://www.tiddlywiki.org/#UploadPlugin.
All runs well until I try to save my changes. Then I get the "You need
to save this TiddlyWiki to a file before you can save changes"
message.

Previous discussions on this issue suggest that it can be resolved if
I deselect the "Automatically save changes" option from the Advanced
Options tiddler. I have done that, but that does not eliminate the
problem. Is there some other setting that I need to change? I'd
appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
Hal

"9) Upload to your heart's content.' Now, every time you want to
upload the changes from your local file to the file on your website,
go to the upload section of the backstage area, be sure your username
and password are correct, and hit the upload button. That's it!"
There should have been a number 10:
10) Save from web to web. Now, every time you want to upload the
changes from your website back to the file on your website, go to the
upload section of the backstage area, be sure your username and
password are correct, and hit the upload button. That's it!

Eric made http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SaveFromWebPlugin
which might be the thing you are looking for? I haven't tried it
myself.

Mans,

Yes, indeed. 10 is the magic number. I followed your directions and I
was able to save the file to the server.

Thanks so much for your help.

This leads to two more questions:

1) Others may have the same problem. What is the process to add Step
10) to the instructions on http://www.tiddlywiki.org/#UploadPlugin?

2) I would like to keep everything as simple as possible and avoid the
user having to invoke the Backstage in order to save the file. Is
there a way I can set that up so the save to the server could be
started from an upload button in a tiddler or put on a main or top
menu bar?

Best,
Hal
