Self hosted podcast did a follow up here

Dave,

Thanks for sharing. Clearly using the node version for access to individual tiddlers as files, this fellow highlights the gap in tiddywiki

Embedding images is a multi-step process;

With recent advances of noto and [bullet] stream, it think the ability to drag and drop an image into a tiddler will; be possible such that it;

• Will create the image tiddler, save internally, pending a later export to as external image and add a canonical field if set this way
• Name the tiddler $:/images/dropped/filename or as set.
• Place an transcuction to the image where it was dropped in the tiddler.

This becomes feasible because noto and stream have added an interactive layer that we can use to support this, ie no in the simple text editor.

I would also like to see such a process allowing you to choose if its background, left, right text justified etc... in the current tiddler.

Thanks For the lead

Tony

Regarding images, the flow I personally need and am slowly working towards for myself is:

- have a dropzone widget on which I can drop images to import

-- the dropzone widget should support specifying post-import actions to run

- trigger Import UI, which should have affordances to rename incoming images and choose whether to save as external image with canonical_uri tiddler creation

- once the images are saved, trigger the post-import actions

This could allow one to try to implement things like:

- uploading images to the files directory on node.js, without running server commands

- save the image and then save the canonical_uri tiddler name to a field, or copy it to the clipboard.

Oh right, I need to investigate if we have any viable image lightbox/slideshow plugins as well. There should be something that uses modals I imagine.

Cheers,
Saq
