Would that make sense/be possible to, when drag and dropping a non-text file (a pdf, an image, etc.) to a tiddler that is currently being edited, have an option for copying the content of the file to e.g. ./media/data/whatever.xyz, and only inserting a link within the tiddler? Would be very useful. Thanks! Martin
