The default "drop handler" defined by FileDropPlugin is very simple, and only handles *text* files, dropped one at a time, from which it creates tiddlers, using the text from the file as the body of the tiddler. However, if you want to drop multiple selected files or *folders* at once, you need to install a more advanced drop handler as an addon to FileDropPlugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#FileDropPluginConfig Also, if you install http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePlugin http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePluginFormatters then the extended handling of FileDropPluginConfig will allow you you to drag and drop *binary* files into your TW document. The file contents are first converted using "base64" text-encoding (the same method used to store attachments in email messages), and then the resulting text block is saved within a section of a specially- formatted tiddler that has an 'attachment' tag. With AttachFilePluginFormatters in place, you can then use normal TW image syntax to display the embedded files (assuming they are GIF/JPG/PNG images, of course), like this: [img[NameOfAttachmentTiddler]] (i.e., use a tiddler name in place of an external "path/file.jpg" reference) The ...PluginFormatters code takes care of resolving the image data using a 3-tiered approach: if the attachment has base64-encoded data (and you are not using IE), then the data is applied to render the image. Otherwise, if a local path/file is defined in the attachment, that external file is used... and, if no local file is found, then a final fallback to a remote URL can be used. Of course, if all these sources are unavailable, then the usual 'broken image' icon will appear in the output (unless your browser is set to hide those). enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
