Allow saver to be specified for download

[twMat]

This discussion has a solution to let the user click a button so to save the TW via a custom template filter.

It is desirable to extend this so that the user can specify which saver to use, from potentially many. For instance it is desirable to be able to save/upload directly to a tiddlyspot.

The button might be formed as;

<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-download-file" $param="<title-of-your-template>" filename="index.html" saver="upload"/>
Publish
</$button>

I've realised that in fact the message needs to carry all the parameters required by the saver - in the case of the upload saver, that's the wiki name and the password. (To avoid storing passwords within TiddlyWiki, the password would be specified as the name of the local storage entry containing the password, just as we do for the TiddlySpot password at present).

Makes sense.

Maybe this is already taken into account, but would upload to regular commercial servers perhaps demand futher parameters? Tiddlspot conveniently combines username and location name but this is, I guess, exceptional.

The upload saver is pretty specific to TiddlySpot and BidiX's earlier upload.php script. I wouldn't expect it to work with other services - most online services use oAuth for signin, which is a lot more complex than username/password.

Ok. Well, solving it for tiddlyspot is the big one.

I think this is a very important improvement. It's a problem to be forced to use just one saver module.
