tiddlywiki.info : would a "includeFiles" property make sense?

[Charlie Veniot]

As I play around with TiddlyWiki on node.js, I had a thought ...

Say I have a folder somewhere with all of my camera pictures, and I want a particular file to be included in a TiddlyWiki, I'm thinking it would be pretty nice to add that to my tiddlywiki.info file, something like:

"includeFiles": [

    {"file": "home/picture/my_dog.jpg",

     "file": "home/documents/my_dog_pedigree.pdf"}

]

It would probably make more sense to have a file server for the files when dealing with a lot of files being included in a lot of TiddlyWikis, but I wonder if this kind of "includeFiles" thing would be useful in certain circumstances.

Or is there already a mechanism for doing this kind of thing?

tiddlywiki.files might do the trick: https://tiddlywiki.com/#tiddlywiki.files%20Files

I use them to load files from a subfolder of the wiki tiddlers folder. I do believe you could have a tiddlywiki.files file in a subfolder of tiddlers that then uses relative paths to files outside that the tiddlers directory.

Also note that if you create a files folder parallel to the tiddlers folder, any files in that files folder will be served by the integrated static file server at the path /files/<uri-encoded-filename>
