This comes up surprisingly frequently. When dragging and dropping, browsers do not expose the original file location; JS code just sees the filename and content. TiddlyDesktop supports the external attachments plugin which does what you want: on TiddlyDesktop we have access to the file path and so can create _canonical_uri tiddlers to point to imported tiddlers. You can install the plugin from the official plugin library. Best wishes Jeremy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
