Eric, Yes Understood. Nicely put. But I sill see the following workflow possible,
- Create Images folder below Tiddly wiki - Drag and Drop images to tiddly wiki - Check Import as external files/Or Reference - Enter the relative or absolute path (do the Job the browser will not) - Import Or - We could co-opt the import file feature to prompt in a similar way, with multi-select enabled. - Still asking for the path (relative or absolute) We could even set another tiddler to contain the relative or absolute path which we edit if we move or even combine the media files into a new single directory or host location we simply edit that and it is reflected in all the relevant items in a given import batch = folder source. My skills do not yet permit me to code this so I need to ask the community.
