Eric,
Yes Understood. Nicely put. But I sill see the following workflow possible,
- Create Images folder below Tiddly wiki
- Drag and Drop images to tiddly wiki
- Check Import as external files/Or Reference
- Enter the relative or absolute path (do the Job the browser will not)
-
But ... as I asked earlier. Is this true if dragging and dropping from an
external web site? I suspect not, since knowing the url to a web site is
what browsers do all the time. So, it should be possible to drag and drop
and then construct a tiddler based on the file type and file name. AND, if

list that let's me set the base path of all the macros depending on
platform. In addition, if a tiddler is tagged with D:2017, then the
sub-path of the path name will be /2017. This will allow me eventually to

OBSERVATION 1 -- *Easier translation/conversion to portability*--of
absolute paths to relative--could be a godsend for TW.
For at least 2 reasons. First, universalism of platform (offline / online).
Second, emerging issue if you want to go httpS: ... relative paths don't
throw an issue on that
But what if the dropped link was from an external web source? Does the
browser still hide the address? Shouldn't it be able to access that url?
And if the base url was the same for your TW and the dropped object,
wouldn't it be possible to construct the relative path ? I'm thinking that
