First of all; warmly welcome Reza!!!! First to my questions: > 1) i'm trying to add a picture into my articles in a was that you can see > a mini version of it in the article but when you click on the image it > should open in full size on top of the article (almost like hovering on top > of everything). I should be able to close it either by pressing an X on a > corner or just click anywhere outside of the image.

I have no spot-on answer, but you may wish to take a look at; - the popup mechansim <http://tiddlywiki.com/#PopupMechanism> (unfortunately documentation or examples seem to be lacking on this) - the linkimg <http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Link%20Images> macro (at Tobias' superb tb5 site) BTW, I don't quite understand if the "mini version" of the article is the image. > 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). I can see images are stored in > something called $:/Import, but where is this exactly? i cant find a way to > actually find the files that get imported? > If you're using the standard single file version of TW (as opposed to e.g the node.js version) then drag'n dropping an image actuall embeds it, i.e it is converted and merged into the html file. (This is also why is may not be a good idea to include many large images in this way). The "$:/Import" is just a special tiddler listing which tiddlers you've imported last, as a kind of confirming summary and to access them easy. > 2.1 If i click on and imported image file that i have in my tiddler > -->[[iTunes_Settings.png]] it opens as a separate tiddler below, its here i > would want the picture to hover on top of my existing tiddler, basically > what i asked in question 1. Can this be done? appreciate some help on this. > Yes, if you click in "$:/import" it opens the actual tiddler which in your case is titled "iTunes_Settings.png", i.e this is now a tiddler and it has an image embedded. You can for instance retitle the tiddler any way you want. You will create a new tiddler fro the article and then use the imagetiddler in way that depends on how you solve it. (An example; To see a simple thumbnail of your image, you can use e.g [img width=20px [iTunes_Se...]] ) 3) Spaces are a hassle in tiddlers (for me anyway), specially row brakes, > now i have to do allot of testing with using """ and extra returns just to > get the tiddler to look OK. Why is it so hard to get this right? > I think you're referring to that multiples of the space character (keyboard space bar) is merged into merely one space, and that single line breaks are omitted and that it takes two line breaks which then creates a new paragraph. The trick to get one line break is to cut the line with `<br>`. For extra space characters you can insert ` ` ("no break space") I share your frustration with this, but the way it works is intentional. > Improvement: > 4) Continuing with improvement, just as in this post i have access to the > basic tools on the menu, liks Bold, Numbered list, insert image, text size > and things that are mostly used, would it not be possible to add these > things in TW just as they are available here when posting a thread? > This would make the TW so much more approachable and user friendly. Any > thoughts or plans on this? > Fellow member Stephen Kimmel is working on a WYSIWYG text editor plugin but it is still a bit too rough to be functional. I hope it will get ready for release as I think there is a great need for it, particularly for newcomers. Sorry if my post tends to get negative on the end but i do love TW and want > it to evolve and improve , its a great utility so keep up the great work! > IMO you bring up things that EVERY newcomer is confused by - and I think it is also easy for use who are used to these quirks of TW to forget this. IMO these issues are hopefully things that will be solved eventually. I fear they may even be deal breakers for some because they are immediately discovered, in the very early "evaluation phase". If it brings any comfort, I can still say that it's worth it. TW is incredible in many (other) respects. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
