Hi All Hope I can jump in on this discussion. I am not clear on exactly what is happening. Is Mark using FileDropPlugin (and maye AttachFilePlugin as well) to drop files into a TW and then organise the list of tiddlers? I am reading that the actually files aren´t being dropped into the TW ( which would quickly blow it out to unusable size)...rather just a bookmark is being "dragged and dropped"....how is that down...I think I am missing something very fundamental here...HELP!!
Thanks in Advance Skye Thanks Mark for your "Life witoout FET" explanation, very clear.....almost inspires me to want to learn Javascript !!! ALMOST ...but thanks.
