Description
Hi Jeremy,
I've downloaded TD to test several ideas with it, one thing I was hoping to do is to edit .tid files from TWc repository to further build TWc site with it (another thing I was thinking about is to edit plugins in TWs but also send .tid files to github). But trying to open the content folder (with TWc's site .tid files) showed me this:

Looks like a TW5 with no tiddlers at all (some missing system tiddlers?)
So TD doesn't support "folders" for TWc, does it? If so, why those files are not treated as TW5 tiddlers and I get this result? Perhaps it may be ok to edit those in TW5 interface, so I just have to "fix" it somehow.
Best regards,
Yakov.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior by opening the linked content folder containing TiddlyWiki Classic .tid files in TiddlyDesktop. Compare the result with the expected TiddlyWiki 5 interface behavior and determine whether folder support is intended; done means documenting the limitation or identifying a clear path to support these files.
