Thank you for your kind replies. I'm not a tech so I didn't want to mess my Tiddly, so I installed the External Attachments Plugin: is it enough for PDFs and images? Now I'm under Firefox, I drag and drop an image, but the menus and options are the usual: Tiddly asks me to import the image. How do I attach external images with this plugin?
I've read your links, but I see them somewhat confusing.
