Helping savetiddlers documentation

[Dave Gifford - http://www.giffmex.org/]

Hi all

Just a couple recommendations for the documentation at https://github.com/buggyj/savetiddlers, as non-technical Dave tries to wrap his head around this and runs into hiccups along the way. I started with Chrome, gave up, and tried again, successfully, with Firefox. I did not go back and use what I had learned in the Firefox process to see if Chrome worked for me.

1. The current documentation made me think the tiddlywikilocations folder had to be in the (in my case, Windows) Downloads directory. But after experimenting it seems that what is meant is that it has to be in whatever directory the user has told their browser to download files to (in my case, the desktop). You could save new users some grief by clearing that up.

2. There is a spelling error 'Dowload' in both the Firefox and Chromium instructions. Minor thing, but when new users are trying to slavishly follow instructions, this is the kind of thing that gives them some anxiety.

3. Chrome was giving me warnings telling me to Disable developer mode extensions. It looks as if this popup will come up everytime I open the file. You should address that in the documentation.

4. You should maybe explain the default behavior: eg this for Firefox: "savetiddlers will then overwrite the file in the tiddlywikilocations folder, and if you have specified backups to be made, those backups will appear in the folder where you specified them to be created."

Hope that helps with onboarding a little. Blessings.

Great stuff Dave,
It is of course very difficult to spot errors in ones own stuff, so feed back is essential
I will incorporate your suggestion when I update the info on github (soon).

Thanks lots
BJ
