Just to clarify where tiddlywiki.files would come into this scenario. If I
dropped a folder of vacation pics into tiddlers/images/vacation then
vacation1,jpg would be available at
localhost:8080/images/vacation/vacation1.jpg and if you wanted to batch tag
them all you would add a tiddlywiki.info file into that directory with the
pictures that reads
{
"directories": [
{
"path": "./",
"filesRegExp": "^.*\\.(jpg|png|jpeg)$",
"isTiddlerFile": false,
"fields": {
"tags": ["vacation"]
}
]
}
and when the wiki loads it will add the tag to all those files.
