The default mechanism for saving in both Firefox and Chrome is to write out files with names like
tw_fun(5).html tw_fun(6).html tw_fun(7).html tw_fun(8).html This doesn't typically put your files where you want them, or with the name that you want them. Since TiddlyFox is going away, it occurred to me that one way around this is to use a script file to pick out the latest tw file and launch it for you. It turns out that the powershell (tm) code is pretty simple (so far). To run this, you need Powershell, of course, which I believe comes standard with Windows these days. I put a file, launch_tw.ps1 in the same directory as the default downloads: param([string]$stem="foo", [string]$dir="") $copyme = ls $stem*.html | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1 $copyme = $copyme.FullName Copy-Item $copyme -Destination $dir\$stem.html Invoke-Item $dir\$stem.html Then, for each TW file I want to launch I put a batch file (e.g. "launch_tw_fun.bat") in the same directory: powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File .\launch_tw.ps1 -stem "tw_fun" -dir c:\temp\twtests The bt file indicates the stem name of the target file and the directory where to put the selected file. AFAIK It's necessary to use a bt file to launch the ps file because there is otherwise too many security restrictions on ps files. But perhaps power users would have a better way. You can copy the batch file from explorer and make a shortcut to it on your desktop for easy access. Then, to start a session, you double click on the shortcut and the TW file comes up in your default browser. You save the same way you've always done using the default mechanism. Although this was done with powershell, I'm sure the same thing could be worked out in script files for other platforms. I haven't tried or worked out yet what happens if you have file and directory names with spaces. One thing at a time. This version doesn't delete anything, so it's up to the user to occasionally clean up their download directory. Stem names need to be unique. If you have tw_fun.pdf and tw_fun.html there is a possibility that your browser will launch a PDF file (if the PDF happens to be newer). If you try this, remember it's all experimental.
