Developers

AppJS is customised to host TiddlyWiki (TW) which may be supplied on the command line, taken by default from the 'content' folder or dragged and dropped onto the AppJS browser window. AppJS supplies a customised UserAgent string which causes the plugin inside TW to hijack 'getLocalPath', 'loadFile' and 'saveFile' functions which it delegates to functions supplied by the customised AppJS. To enable TW to save when loaded from an AppJS URL, the Plugin hijacks 'saveChanges' to use a new 'allowSave' function. When running in a standard browser, this hijack behaves identically to original TW code. When running in the customised AppJS, 'allowSave' is hijacked again to make saving unconditional. Other plugins which use 'saveFile' should be adapted to use 'allowSave' rather than hard-coding a test for the "file:" URL prefix.
