Hello,

I really appreciate Quine, which gives me a way to go back and forth between desktop and iPad to work on TiddlyWiki Classic TWs that are stored in Dropbox!

I have a question about accessing files. I have a tiddler that runs a macro to open a PDF article in an iframe.

I have the "articles" folder bookmarked on the iPad, and in Quine a link like [[article|articles/Smith2016.pdf]] works to open the article. But, I'd like to show it in an iframe within the TW. Unfortunately, "articles/Smith2016.pdf" doesn't seem to work as the src of an iframe, and neither does "./articles/Smith2016.pdf." Nor does an attempt to use window.location to get an iPad path.

Is there a way to access files using src in an iframe (or embed)? Do I maybe just not know how to construct the path correctly?

Thanks!
Jon

Oops, sorry...my bad. I had moved this wiki to another folder and forgotten to bookmark the new *parent* folder. Now it can find the files!
