[edit] General

[edit] Is it stable?

Fairly. I think you can trust it with your data. There are plenty of people using it. You should ensure that you enable backups or make regular backups yourself.

[edit] Why do you call it 'alpha'?

It's a label I use to mean that it has a lot missing functionality, has areas that are incomplete and/or buggy and hasn't been properly tested in IE and Safari.

[edit] Will there ever be beta or release versions?

Hopefully.

[edit] What version should I use?

You should use the newest 3.0 alpha.

[edit] What if I'm using an older version?

I hope to create some upgrade guides. But at the moment you can either wait or give it a try yourself with the brief notes are available at Upgrading from previous versions.

[edit] What license is MonkeyGTD published under?

The BSD license. See here.

[edit] How can I contribute?

See MonkeyGTD/Contributing to MonkeyGTD.

[edit] Technical

[edit] I made a tiddler with square brackets in the title and now I can't delete it

Click the More tab from the right sidebar. Click the Timeline tab. Look for the offending tiddler in the list under the Timeline tab. Click on it to open it. Then click 'edit' from the tiddler toolbar. Change the title to remove the square brackets. Click done.

[edit] How do I make my theme selection permanent?

Find a tiddler called MgtdUserConf. Make sure it's tagged as 'systemConfig'. Put the following in it (or whatever theme you prefer), then save and reload.

config.options.txtTheme = 'MonkeyGTDPrint3x5';

[edit] How do I update to the latest version?

See Keeping your MonkeyGTD up to date.

[edit] Can I stop the Confirmation (Allow/Deny) required to Save my file in Firefox 3?

Yes, you can change the value of a single Firefox Preference, to allow Local HTML Files to be saved without having to answer the question ever again. There are a couple of ways of doing this.

Easier, but less Secure: Type about:config in the Address Bar (Note the necessary Colon between the words "about" and "config"). Find the Preference called "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy". Double click on it to toggle it to a value of false. Restart Firefox to try it out. Be aware that this does alter the built-in security of Firefox.

More advanced, but also more secure: Permissions and privileges may be set on a file-by-file basis using the FirefoxPrivilegesPlugin, maintained by Xavier Vergés. Each individual HTML file can be granted certain privileges and access to your system. In this way, a user does not give an arbitrary HTML file access to the write/read file operations which could result in system damage or provide a means for hackers to gain access to their system. The plugin can be downloaded/installed from the FirefoxPrivileges Tiddlyspot Site. It can also be used without installing via a bookmarklet at the same site. For usage please see http://firefoxprivileges.tiddlyspot.com/.

[edit] How do I change the default realm?

You can change the default realm if you search for and open the tiddlers titled "Personal" and "Work", and then change the numbers for "order" and "priority" so that your desired default realm has the number 1. (You'll need to save and reload in order for the change to take effect).
