I created a link to an external image manually (and Now to demonstrate my lack of true understanding):
*My setup:* I am using TW5 version 5.1.13 stored in Dropbox and a laptop running macOS Sierra version 10.12.4 that links to the TW5 files using TiddlyDesktop <#TiddlyDesktop> version 0.0.8 My TW5's are kept in Dropbox folder ./Dropbox/TW5/ My Images are kept in Dropbox folder ./Dropbox/Images/ (contains lots of JPEG's and PDF's) I SHOULD be able to use a Widget: ImageWidget <#ImageWidget> - don't understand it - ImageWidget <#ImageWidget> and ExternalImages <#ExternalImages> documentation from (5.1.14 Pre-release) re: the _canonical_uri field - really *needs a basic example* for me to follow and copy I have successfully used a Link: Place this in the body of a text tiddler: [ext[Picturename|../Images/Picturename.jpeg]] - This creates a link that would show me the image if I clicked on it A better solution for me renders the picture right into the story river: Create a new tiddler with no body text, just a title, tiddler type "image/jpeg" and a field: _canonical_uri with the value ../Images/Picturename.jpeg No such luck with PDF's: The Link [ext[Picturename|../Images/Picturename.pdf]] does create a link, but clicking the created link does nothing - I have tried changing my default "opens with" program from Adobe Acrobat Reader to Preview - still doesn't work for PDF's I also tried a new tiddler with no body text, just a title, tiddler type: "image/pdf" and a field: _canonical_uri with the value ../Images/Picturename.pdf - but I think tiddler type: "image/pdf" is not accepted (it would be nice if this worked just like "image/jpg"...) I also tried a new tiddler with no body text, just a title, tiddler type: "application/pdf" and a field: _canonical_uri with the value ../Images/Picturename.pdf - but this renders a blank frame I also tried Method 1 from http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Embedded_External_PDF - but I don't understand step 3: "as needed, embed in another tiddler via PDF Tiddler Title <#PDF%20Tiddler%20Title>" - maybe I need that? I also tried Method 2 from http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Embedded_External_PDF - I imported a macro titled "$:/.tb/macros/pdf <#%24%3A%2F.tb%2Fmacros%2Fpdf>" and tagged " $:/tags/Macro <#%24%3A%2Ftags%2FMacro>" - but I can't figure out where I am supposed to put <<pdf "http://bit.ly/18mukKq";>> - either into - the body text of the shaddow tiddler "$:/.tb/macros/pdf <#%24%3A%2F.tb%2Fmacros%2Fpdf>", - or the body text of a new tiddler with tiddler type: "application/pdf" and a field: _canonical_uri with the value ../Images/Picturename.pdf - or someplace else - or <<pdf "http://bit.ly/18mukKq";>> is just an example I am not supposed to be typing anywhere - or it's automatic when I save and reload - I have tried all of these... P.S. I do not want to convert my PDF's to JPEG's (too many of them and other people/software are looking for PDF's) I am considering removing Adobe Acrobat from my laptop in case it is overriding my "opens with" preferences... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
