Description
When inadvertantly open two Tiddly Wiki sessions (for the same TiddlyWiki file) in two different browser windows one may loose updates applied to one through saving changes to the other.
It would be nice to prevent more than one open browser from having the capability to update one Tiddly Wiki at any given time.
Option A: the "second" browser opens the TiddlyWiki as readonly if an other browser has already opened it (writable).
Option B: Before saving check if the TiddlyWiki file has been modified since it was loaded (e.g. through the file's lastmodified time) and avoid (or warn before) the overwrite. Optionally the changes of the second browser could be written to some separate file, to be "merged" into the conflicting TiddlyWiki later.
See this TiddlyWiki Group item.
