Re: [tw5] Import as external files (Node.js)
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was using 5.1.22. After upgrading to 5.1.23 I can use the pencil edit button. I think I'm ready to start adding external images now. Thanks again for your help and the plugin! On Thursday, May 20, 2021 at 11:21:57 PM UTC-5 saq.i...@gmail.com wrote: > @Nathan what version of TW are you using?

Re: [tw5] Import as external files (Node.js)
Thanks for your help. I thought the import UI would have the ability to name the imported tiddler. I checked the TiddlyWiki docs and only find this page dealing with tiddler imports https://tiddlywiki.com/#Importing%20Tiddlers but it doesn't contain any information about naming tiddlers on import. When I paste an image from the clipboard this is what I'm seeing and I can't find a way to name the tiddler.

Re: [tw5] Import as external files (Node.js)
Thanks for that. After restarting the node.js server I was able to import an image as an _canonical_uri linked file. The file was named files/image.png. Is there a way to rename the file or choose the file name on import?

Re: [tw5] Import as external files (Node.js)
Saq, I've installed this plugin in my node.js TW. I can see the additional check boxes on the import tiddler and there is an additional 'Save as external file' button on my tiddlers. Unfortunately, when I drag / drop images or copy / paste images an external file is not created nor is the _canonical_uri field set. Instead it seems to create a embedded image just as it did before. Are there any additional setup or workflow changes I need to do in order to use this plugin to add images as external files?
