Under Windows it is possible to convert TiddlyWiki into a true local application by renaming the HTML file to have the extension `*.hta`. The ''fsosaver'' module can then use the ~ActiveX ~FileSystemObject to save changes.

Note that one disadvantage of this approach is that the TiddlyWiki file is saved in UTF-16 format, making it up to twice as large as it would be with the usual UTF-8 encoding. However, opening and saving the file via another saving method will re-encode the file to UTF-8.

Visual changes to Saving Tiddler (#4640) * Styles and templates for visual changes to Saving methods listing * Color coding saver methods according to delivery * Changes to tags and few tiddlers - The tag InternetExplorer has been changed to [[Internet Explorer]] - A tag for Edge is added - Reclassified TiddlyServer as DIY instead of App The existing criteriion for classification is unclear. Here is my reasoning for the change. An app is something user can simply install and run. Like TiddlyDesktop or Tiddloid. A DIY is something user has to install additional runtimes for. Thus Nodejs is a DIY. In the same vein, TiddlyServer is a DIY * Adding Twexe * Reversing accidental changes to StoryList * Restyling Download button and Card Size * Removing "Read more" links Entire card is now clickable To give visual clues regarding the clickability of card, title will change color to blue on card hover * Removing margins from elements under link and adding padding instead. Why this change? Margins are not "clickable". Having margins under <a> tag means there are minute dead areas where the mouse pointer will change shape, is not clickable and degrade user experience. Paddings are "clickable" 2020-06-14 10:48:13 +00:00			`color: #F06292`
