Thank you Mark. I wasn’t aware of this feature. I have switched to lazy loading and hosting images inside TW. Let see how long until TW starts showing signs of stress. :) ​ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To unsubscribe from

You can supposedly use lazy loading with the current node version of TW, and presumably the variants like Bob. Basically images get loaded only on demand. -- Mark On Saturday, July 14, 2018 at 7:06:58 AM UTC-7, talha131 wrote: > > Right, mostly screenshots. I too make each image go through

Right, mostly screenshots. I too make each image go through ImageOptim or sometimes change png to low quality jpg before using them. With the next version of tiddlywiki or a future version of bob there will be a secure online node solution where it should be

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

Talah, I am guessing you use of images is photographs or snapshots which are handled in the way this thread discusses. Personally if I use photos in a tiddlywiki I simply apply the compression and sizing I would do on any website before placing them in the wiki. However for most applications

I don’t use Windows much. But I have had good experience with ShareX . On Mac, I use mac2Imgur . Here is a list of tools that integrate nicely with imgur.

Are you on windows? If so, what is your recommended image upload tool? Thanks!! -- Mark On Friday, July 13, 2018 at 12:17:14 PM UTC-7, talha131 wrote: > > Thank you again Mark. > > I think I will stick with hosting images on external hosts. There are > desktop tools available that upload

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

Thank you again Mark. I think I will stick with hosting images on external hosts. There are desktop tools available that upload image on a single click and then paste the direct link of the image to the clipboard. As for being offline, it happens very rarely. For now, it seems easier setup

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

Yes. Easiest to do if you keep your images and TW file in the same directory (or images in a subdirectory). Then you can just zip the whole thing and pass it on. -- Mark On Friday, July 13, 2018 at 11:27:07 AM UTC-7, talha131 wrote: > > Thank you Mark > > The compromise is to put the images in

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

Thank you Mark The compromise is to put the images in a relative position to your TW file (in a subdirectory). Then address the image with a relative path: [img[mypath/myfile.jpg]]. This will work everywhere without bloating your TW. Please correct me if I am wrong, this means when I am

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

When you add images to TW, it rapidly increases the size. TW is not index-driven and is size-sensitive. For me, TW becomes almost unusable around 10 megs on mobile devices. The compromise is to put the images in a relative position to your TW file (in a subdirectory). Then address the image

[tw5] Re: Is it better to host images externally rathern than in TW for performance?

Don't put more than a few images in a TW. Images can be large and they will degrade performance if you import many of them. Its slightly different with SVG images as they are much more lightweight. Those you can have more of before hitting performance issues. Overall, IMO, images actually IN
