Actually, *use* of embedded images still works just fine... AttachFilePluginFormatters extends the [img[...]] syntax to allow reference to embedded "attachment tiddlers". The problem is in *creating* NEW attachments, which needs to read *binary* file content from the local filesystem. That is the part that is blocked by the browser. However... there IS a way to *manually* create attachment tiddlers.... First, take a look at: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFileSample The format of this tiddler uses standard TiddlyWiki section syntax, like this: ------------------ !usage {{{[img[AttachFileSample]]}}} [img[AttachFileSample]] !notes example of encoded data attachment !type image/gif !file ./images/meow.gif !url http://www.TiddlyTools.com/images/meow.gif !data data:image/gif;base64,R0lGO... ------------------ The sections are labeled "usage", "notes", "type", "file", "url", and "data" The "type" section defines the MIME type for the attachement (e.g, "image/gif", "image/png", "image/jpg") The "file", "url" and "data" sections are options, but at least ONE must be present. The "file" section is for local filesystem references, the "url" section is for remotely stored images, and the "data" section is for embedded base64 encoded binary (e.g., the image file contents) To display the image, AttachFilePluginFormatters first tries the embedded data (if any), then the local "file" reference (if not blank), then the remote URL (again, if not blank). If You can create your own attachment tiddlers manually by making a copy of the AttachFileSample tiddler and then hand editing the information it contains. The only tricky part is generating the base64 encoded image data itself. There are several easy-to-use "base64 image encoder" tools online. Typically, you just upload your image and it returns the encoded text result. You can then copy/paste that data into the appropriate place in the attachment tiddler. Note that the data section of the tiddler always starts with "data:image/gif;base64,", followed by the actual data. Hopefully, this will give you enough to get started... let me know how it goes. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
