Hi Andy Did you change the tiddlers, that where generated by FileDropPlugin, by hand? If yes, my sugestion creates a lot of work and you should use an other one.
If no, go on reading. I think you used the default template: /% !link [[%0|%1]] !end %/ which generates a link like you described. if you use the following it should create a relative link to the pdf files. /% !link [[%0|%3]] !end %/ eg: TiddlyWiki is on the stick (F:) the pdfs are in a subdirectory eg: F:/doc It should produce something like: [[DataFile 002 - General Note.pdf|./doc/DataFile 002 - General Note.pdf]] regards mario On Mar 4, 6:51 pm, "Mark S." <throa...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I've been working on a personal content management system, which I've > written up here: > > http://marksbasement.tiddlyspot.com/index.html#[[Overview%20Of%20Document%20Management%20System]] > > Basically what I do, is create my own bookmarks when files are dragged/ > dropped.
