This is my understanding as well. Regardless of the fact that tiddlywiki.files can "load" files from other paths, if you want to serve a static file using the node.js server it needs to be in the "files" subfolder of the wiki folder. In addition, the "images" subfolder is probably also supported as it is mentioned here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#ExternalImages In other words, there is a different logic for what files can be "loaded" via tiddlywiki.files versus what static file paths can be served by the integrated static file server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
