TW5.1.21 - Any way to stop autosave from covering my screen #6

Open shulist opened 4 years ago

shulist commented 4 years ago

When using TWCloud ( https://twcloud.github.io/tw5-dropbox/) each time AUTOSAVE does its thing it places a popup on the screen saying it's doing so. While this is generally OK it seems that as the day wears on it covers more and more of the screen real estate. Its increasingly frustrating as it grows with each save. (See photo attached). Furthermore the popup remains on the screen for 1-2 minutes. TW5_autosave

I did some troubleshooting and the problem occurs when using Firefox but not using Chrome (on Chrome you get the same popup but it does not accumulate additional images of the avatar--which I assume you are pulling from DropBox).

As I am using a vanilla TW5 file could there be a problem between how TWcloud and Dropbox interact within Firefox?

That's kind of strange, I don't really know. I didn't develop it targetting Firefox but I'll leave this open for now.

I started Firefox in 'safe' mode (Using the following: https://twcloud.github.io/tw5-dropbox/?type=apps#) and managed to get a number of tiddlers updated but eventually I received this error: TypeError: Location.hash setter: Access to 'blob:https://twcloud.github.io/01cb79ad-fefc-4879-957e-21ce9e46b844#' from script denied.

Actually while TWITS looked like it was saving the file it actually did nothing.

Furthermore using the link to https://twcloud.github.io/dropbox/?type=apps# it seems to demonstrate the same behaviour.

Sorry closed by mistake.

This probably has something to do with how blob works in Chrome vs Firefox. I have not been on this project for a while, but I would be happy to give input if someone else wanted to write a new page. PR requests are welcome.
