Re: [tw5] Safari does not render linked images

[Chris Helm]

Hi Springer, thanks very much for giving this some thought, I appreciate it.  
I'm also irritated with myself now.  It had never occurred to me to try the 
simple solution!  I was completely fixated on the fact that the 'Share / Create 
link' process didn't yield a result.  Double sigh.  Anyway, thanks very much, 
again, for pointing me in the right direction.  You've single handedly saved me 
having to bounce the pictures through Google Photos to Dropbox!  Brilliant.  
Have a great day / evening, wherever you are and stay safe.

Chris,

Actually, I'm not having any trouble using the contextual menu to "copy 
image address" from a google photo, then putting that url into 
[img[tooltip|url]] format. I confirmed it shows up fine even via safari, 
for me. I wonder what's blocking that for you?

Chris,

It's a nuisance, but google photo links can be run through this engine to 
convert them into embeddable image links:

Nope.  Just tried it and it doesn't work.  Sigh.  Back to the drawing board 
with that one.

Thanks for this too, Springer.  Now I'm wondering whether this might solve 
another, related problem, which is that I can't get pictures stored in 
Google Photos to render either.  Regards, Chris

Re: [tw5] Safari does not render linked images

Another solution: I've been serving up dropbox images everywhere with no 
trouble, always replacing the final dl=0 with raw=1

https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6hm0wtjbp2wa2u/tw5-1-22.jpg?dl=0

becomes 

[img[tooltip|https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6hm0wtjbp2wa2u/tw5-1-22.jpg?raw=1]]

Seems to work uniformly, so far.

And thank you too, Glenn, not only for a prompt response but the solution 
too!  I'm grateful AND impressed.  :-)  So I'll go off now and try out your 
fix.  Best regards, Chris

Re: [tw5] Safari does not render linked images

[Glenn McLelland]

You just need to replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com and 
then it will work.

[img[https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3j94lvbwqubk0kn/IMG-20200605-WA0008.jpeg]]

See https://ryanmo.co/2013/11/03/dropboxsharedlinks/ for more info.

Re: [tw5] Safari does not render linked images

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Chris

I can confirm the problem. The same problem occurs with putting https://www.dropbox.com/s/3j94lvbwqubk0kn/IMG-20200605-WA0008.jpeg?dl=1"/> 
into a plain HTML tiddler, so I think this is a peculiarity of Dropbox and 
Safari, rather than TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Jeremy
