To manage large collections of images, I recommend having them in a folder
next to your wiki. Well, the actual setup depends on how you are
hosting/serving your wiki.
If you open a local `index.html` or equivalent, with one of the browser
savers, then you can simply have an `./images` directory next to your wiki,
and then you will need to create a tiddler for each image with the `type`
field set correctly, and the `_canonical_url` field set to either the local
path "./images/monaLisa_daVinciLeonardo.png", or the absolute path
"/c/tiddlywikis/artwiki/images/monaLisa_daVinciLeonardo.png". Then you can
call it in other places with its title like `[img[Leonardo DaVinci/Mona
Lisa]]` or `{{Leonardo DaVinci/Mona Lisa}}`.
If you are serving the wiki from Node.js, there is a way to define the
metadata for all files ina folder, and import them all in one go.
