To expand on this, it bears noting that the import feature (and _canonical_uri:) are only worthwhile if the images require some advanced TW function such as tagging. For basic use, there is already much less friction as nothing more than a simple link is needed.
Here's how I currently approach images that don't need tagging (as a TiddlyDesktop user using TW as a personal information manager): I have subfolders for images in my source folder — for instance /img-inventory for photos of items I keep track of via TW. So when in need of having an image in my "Old painting 1" tiddler for instance, I can simply save oldpainting1.jpeg in /img-inventory, and then add [img [./img-inventory/oldpainting1.jpeg]] somewhere in the tiddler, which takes virtually no time at all as I'll typically be cloning a similar inventory tiddler and will just change the file name. A custom stamp could be used here too. And to make this even faster, this is batchable and the names could be very well be sequential (0001.jpeg...). Hope this helps.
