Previously we were using a message `tw-auto-save-wiki` to trigger an
autosave. The message was generated by certain UI actions such as
saving a tiddler. The trouble was that the message was being processed
before the wiki change event for the accompanying change had had a
chance to percolate. The end result was that the dirty indicator was
staying lit when using autosave.
The new approach abandons the autosave message and instead triggers the
autosave in the wiki change event when a relevant change occurs.
One happy side effect of these changes is that the dirty indicator now
works as expected with the client server edition - ie, when typing in a
draft tiddler the dirty indicator will flash briefly, and then clear
when the sync mechanism has completed saving the draft.
Fixing problems caused by c4b76ceb0b:
* We still need to initialise the saver-handler even when syncing to a
server, otherwise offline snapshots can’t be saved
* We need to override the default save template a bit further up the
stack, to avoid the server side serving the offline version of the wiki
at `/`
Fixes#717
The issue was that under Windows we generate text nodes that contained
CRLF as a linebreak (rather than just LF as usual).
The subtle problem is that when these strings are placed in the DOM via
createTextNode(), the CR character is treated as a printable character,
not whitespace. When creating DOM notes with innerHTML or as part of a
static HTML document the HTML parser will strip out the CR characters.
The hacky solution is to manually remove CRs before building the text
node.
@pmario and @welford - I’m not presenting this as a fix for #717
because I’m still not in a position to reproduce it.
However, I found this during a review of newline handling code, and
would be interested if it is implicated in the problems you are
reporting.
