Hi Jeremy,
Were there any kind of success towards resolving of this particular matter
(Caleb's request)?
I do as well use a lot of images in research and data analysis and I find
TW a quite suitable tool to save data for my own future reference.
However, *the lack of* an ability to *directly paste an image from
clipboard into a currently editing TW element's ("tiddler"'s) editing
position* is a quite limiting one.
Confluence, Trello and some other collaboration tools allow that, however
these are all cloud-based and I do most of the work offline during
telecommute and while on the road, so TiddlyWiki suits me perfectly fine.
If that would require some kind of a cost or a "corporate" version release,
please let me know where should I place my pre-order payment or just buy it
directly, if by any chance it has already been developed since your reply
dated 14th Feb 2014.
Or otherwise a piece of advise would be helpful in order to outsource the
development of such a feature elsewhere (a direction from where to start
the digging in).
Thank you in advance for your professional reply and wishing you a Happy
and Prosperous New Year!
With best regards,
Alex S.
