I'm trying to move to a node.js intsallation of TW, as I feel more comfortable with having my tiddlers saved as files in a dropbox folder. I went ahead and installed tiddlywiki and node according to the docs, and then:

tiddlywiki myTiddlyWiki --init server
tiddlywiki myTiddlyWiki --server

and then dragged and dropped my old single file into it. The import tiddler came up, and I imported my contents and refreshed. Everything seems to be fine, except now the contents of: myTiddlyWiki\tiddlers has 88 files that all start with $_. For example, 
  • $__config_Manager_Show.tid, 
  • $__plugins_tiddlywiki_d3.tid, 
  • $__themes_tiddlywiki_vanilla_metrics_sidebarwidth.tid, 
  • etc. 
This does not seem like its following the file structure in: 


Is there anyway to regain that file structure, even though Ive imported my TW? I'd like to have my tiddlers\ folder just have my actual tiddler content. 

Thanks!

When you have the single file plugins they don't fit that same structure. If you get a plugin in separate files from GitHub or make your own you can put them in the /pulgins folder, otherwise you need to define specific rules for where tiddlers are saved you use the things described here http://tiddlywiki.com/#Customising%20Tiddler%20File%20Naming

Tiddler files starting with $__ are the sanitized name for tiddlers starting with $:/, so they are supposed to be there.
