However, I don't think that really matters, as none of your examples uses a proper local file URL for your external reference. A local URL should begin with "file:///" (yes, THREE slashes) preceding the drive letter, and the entire path should use *forward* slash (/), not backslash (\). Thus: [ext[Character Sheet|file:///D:/misc/Wallpaper/05.jpg]] [[Character Sheet|file:///D:/misc/Wallpaper/05.jpg]] <a href="file:///D:/misc/Wallpaper/05.jpg" download="somename.jpg">click to download</a> I also note that in your previous post showing what you tried, the last attempt has a link to a .jpg file, but uses ".xlsx" as the extension on the download filename. As a general rule-of-thumb, the extension of the downloaded filename should match the actual file content so that the local system can invoke the correct associated program when you open the file. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
