Hello All,

(I am in awe of this software. Thank you very much for its existence. I look forward to tons of future use!)

I'm using tiddly drive because I work accross multiple computers so it's the easiest way to keep things synced and also I trust google not to loose my stuff more than I trust myself (idc much about privacy)

I'm attempting to import local images using the
_canonical_uri

content type. This seems to be the correct way to go about things based on my research. The structure of my google drive folder is: 

- tiddlywiki.html
- images
  |---> error.jpg

So I try to reference the external image using: 

_canonical_uri:images/error.jpg

but it displays the error: 

>>>>
Trying to load external content from images/error.jpg


If this message doesn't disappear, either the tiddler content type doesn't match the type of the external content, or you may be using a browser that doesn't support external content for wikis loaded as standalone files. See https://tiddlywiki.com/#ExternalText
>>>>>

I tried using firefox and the same thing occured. Could anyone please point me in the correct direction for a fix to this? 

****for more background that may or may not be relevant****
I'm hoping that there is some work around for google drive local images because I'd like to create these images dynamically using some python stuff that I've been working on. Namely, new images will be created each week with timestamped names so that my home page should automatically grab the most recent one (I'm thinking some application of the date macro?) I'm not quite sure how to go about this on the tiddly wiki side of things so If there is a better way to do this please let me know.

Thank you for your time :)
