Hi, SecretHQ. I've first used TW several years ago. Not sure why I 
abandoned it. I will have to use OneNote professionally; I can't completely 
ditch it. But, I've always liked TW for its modular approach and the fact 
that you can break down information tidbits in smaller and smaller chunks. 
Very powerful. And I like it being OpenSource. I will read up on 
ExternalImages. Tiddle typ options are Dev / Text / Images. where do you 
find "application/pdf" or is this a plug-in?
Thanks for the feedback!
