Embedding images into a post

[Frederik Schönfeldt]

Hey guys,

I just installed TiddlyWiki locally to test it. It looks really great and quite simple to use (in terms of input), what I miss though is that you cant upload an image into the editor of a tiddle.

I noticed that I can drag n drop an image to upload it as a tiddle, then referencing to it in a new tiddle.

Is there an easier way to do this? In just about any other WUCIWUG editor, I can just insert an image. Also PDF embed doesnt seem to work (just a white box)

Cheers x

Hi Frederik,

You can import images by dragging them into your wiki or through the import button (sidebar -> tools -> import)

You can also keep images external and reference them using their path on the hard disk

For both cases, the images will show up in the editors "image" dropdown - look for the image icon in the editor toolbar. Then simply click the image you want to include in the tiddler

A quick How-To if you want to leave images external:

create a tiddler, give it a descriptive title (it will be the tiddler containing the image) ... add a field _canonical_uri and insert the path to the image in its value field

depending on the image type, choose the correct type for the tiddler, then save the tiddler...

Once you have imported the image per BTC's suggestions, you can use the image

icon in the edit toolbar to insert the image into the content of your current tiddler.
