Other sites use libraries to achieve this functionality. The same is valid for TW. There is the possibility to use TW built in modal dialog. eg: if you copy this into an new tiddler at tiddlywiki.com you can see what I mean. <$button message="tm-modal" param="Motovun Jack.jpg"> [img width="100" [Motovun Jack.jpg]] </$button> There is a nice thread here in the group: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/eJoZu8G7fng/AdE2KBKlI7AJ Which gives you some more info. I did attach a json file, that you can import to your TW. It should get you started with the first version described in the link. If you go on reading, there is more info how to improve it. 2) I have tested to drag&drop pictures into TW (before i put the images in > a folder called img where i had my TW.html).

There are some discussions with many pro and cons, at github. see: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/443 The mentioned issue set to wontfix. So don't expect changes in the near future.

Especially from new users, since it shows us, where the problems are. ...
