Hi,

I learned about TiddlyWiki only today and am already in love with it.
I want to use it as my scientific notebook, but one thing is troubling
me: say I work on a tiddler and make lots of changes, and my browser
crashes -- then all my work is gone. Had I pressed "done" when editing
the Tiddler, the contents of the editing window would've been saved to
the TiddlyWiki (which can then autosave the changes), but before
pressing done nothing happens, and I can imagine not wanting to press
"done" and then re-clicking on "edit" all the time

Is there a way to implement a "save" button? I.e. just like "done",
but without exiting the editing mode?

cheers,

interlooper

There are two plugins (that I know of) for this - both experimental:
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/FND/plugins/QuickSavePlugin.js
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/SaqImtiaz/experimental/DraftsPlugin.js

Copy their code into a tiddler and tag it with "systemConfig".

HTH.

Hmm I'm having a bit of trouble getting the DraftPlugin to work... I'm
not very script literate I'm afraid. Is there anything I have to do
other than put it into a systemConfig tagged Tiddler wrapped in "Code"
tags?
