In the TW nothing at all for the images:-) They are presented by simply generating a random number in the range 0000 and 3999. All the files are numbered like "fw_1234.jpg" and presented one at a time. It works for that app as they are simply a vast set of images so no persistent tiddlers are needed. I do intend to add ability to add favourites eventually, but that would simply be a list of pointers to external files. I aim to use EXIF without creating 4000 Tiddlers or any external lists. If I wanted I could do that already simply extracting the EXIF to spreadsheet and importing them.Its that I'm trying to avoid. I'm hoping, if I can figure it out, how to use embedded EXIF data in images dynamically only when showing the image. It won't persist beyond that as I would not be needed.
Hope this is clear!
