Hi all, I've just started playing with TW5 after using TW2 for a long time, and I love the updated system. However, I've run into trouble when trying to reference large binary files like videos. In TW2, I would just create a local file link, like [[really_cool_video|./files/really_cool_video.avi]], and clicking that link would open up the file in a new tab in Firefox. TW5 allows embedding of images, which works spectacularly well, but I haven't had much luck with videos. I can drag the video file into the wiki, but all I get is a tiddler containing the binary data rendered as text, which is not very helpful. I also can't make relative file links anymore, as a link such as [[really_cool_video|./files/really_cool_video.avi]] just creates a new tiddler called "./files/really_cool_video.avi". I could make an absolute file link, but that's not particularly portable since, for example, my home directory is /home/username on one machine and /Users/username on another.
Am I missing a best practice for this sort of thing, or is this problem not well-solved by TW5 yet?
