Save Tiddler and Continue Editing

Plugins
1

I’ve been digging through some old Git branches and wikis where I keep half-finished experiments and unpublished work, to pick out things worth another look. Came across a little plugin that lets you save a tiddler while editing, without closing it or losing your cursor position.

I haven’t tested it extensively yet, but it seems to work fine. Sharing here in case it’s useful to others. Please backup and test with the utmost care: Saq's Sandbox — Experimental doodads

ha ha, I just mentioned the edit buttons solution for this YAR - yet another resizer - #60 by TW_Tones and recently in another thread on this same subject.

I do think sometimes there is a bit of a zeitgeist in talk tiddlywiki :nerd_face:

Didn’t @telmiger do a “Save & Continue”?

Let me see if I can find it …

Okay, is this kind of thing what you were thinking about?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding!

that is what I was thinking of. I install it via bookmarklet on most wikis.

A tiny but important difference. My solution can’t do that.

Hello Saq,

I was unable to have the plugin work (TW 5.3.8):

  • on a new tiddler (never saved) it creates a draft of draft tiddler
  • when editing an existing tiddler the save button stays red and the file is not saved

BR,

Eskha

Could you provide step by step instructions for recreating the problem? I just tried it at https://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html and at a quick glance, I could not recreate the problem.

I was not able to recreate the first issue (draft of draft) in an empty tiddlywiki.

The second issue (no saving) is still present:

  • Create a new tiddler “test”
  • Add some text
  • Save tiddler
    → wiki is saved
  • Edit tiddler
  • Modify text
  • Press save and continue button
    → nothing happens
  • Press alt+s
    → nothing happens

Tested under edge with 1) Download saver and 2) Native HTML File saver.

BR,

Eskha
