Thanks a lot Eric. At least I got this to work in the sense I managed
to get a new Tiddler automatically created – as against getting the
Dialog from Firefox asking if I wanted to open the file.
The resulting file seems to have 5 sections i.e. “usage”, “notes”,
“type”, “file”, “url”, and “data” Is it possible to change these
sections. I want to remove the data i.e. only to link to the file. (I
unchecked the “Copy file content into tiddlers… ” – but it still
creates the “data” section. I also don’t think that “URL” and “Type”
help, because they are either null or obvious from the file extension
(in my personal case). Is it possible to modify these sections?
You mention the option “Generate an external link to files, using this
format:” seems to be work perfectly. Thanks a lot for that. I only
which I could change the 5 sections mentioned above.
Thanks again Eric.
O.O.
Note to other readers: There are two different FileDropPlugin’s being
talked about in this thread, one from Eric, and the other one referred
to by Wolfgang in his posts above.
