This thread is kind of old so I won't be surprised if no one replies, but I've been a TW Classic user for more than 7 years and am slowly moving over to TW5. I've grown quite accustomed to the way images were handled before, but I absolutely love the way they are done now in TW5. My only problem is that through the years I've maintained a directory of image files I pull from when I want to include one in a tiddler. This has the benefit of my main index file not being very large though I've filled it with lots of data. The very first thing I noticed with the new way of image handling was it increases the size of the index file greatly. I'm not a programmer and other than the syntax I've learned from using TW for these number of years, and some bash scripting, and I don't write code, but don't larger index files take longer to load in the browser?
In addition, I'm sharing this file (with directory of images) over ownCloud between three of my own computers. The larger the file size, the more my ownCloud client has to upload to the central server. With all of this in mind, I'm glad to have some of the old TW functionality available.
