This works if you use tiddlyclip (setup to paste html) after you 'print' step -bj On Friday, February 26, 2016 at 2:04:22 PM UTC, HC Haase wrote: > > Hello > The problem is I have a mail (from gmail) with images in it that I need to > save in my TW. > > To save mails I normally press print > get the source from the print > version > paste into TW > save as html. > > But this mail have pictures (base64 in the source) that don't get > recognised in html tiddlers. > > So the question is: > Is there a better way to import/copy mails with pictures to TW? > > and > > am I maybe doing this in a silly way? is there a better way to save emails? > > > > EDIT: I also tried to print the email as pdf and import the pdf to TW. > However it only gives me binary googly goo in the tiddler > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

What browser are you using? Apparently not all browsers are configured to display internal PDF data. Also, check that you have a PDF viewer plugin installed in your browser. About the mail -- this is one of the problems with TW compared to other systems. You can't just copy an email into TW and get anything except text. You could copy the source code of the original mail (as HTML) and paste it in, and maybe (haven't tried it) images that are on external servers will show up. This works with web pages. But if you want to have the tiddler self-contained you will have to download images, drag them into the TW, and then change the image links in the source code to point to the images you dragged in. Alternatively, you can download the images locally, and then point the images to the downloaded images. Either way it's a hassle. Printing the mail to a PDF is a good idea, but the PDF data is not very compact, and you're likely to run out of space fairly quickly. Once you have your browser working correctly with PDFs, you can use frames to view local PDFs like : HTH Mark On Friday, February 26, 2016 at 6:04:22 AM UTC-8, HC Haase wrote: > > Hello > The problem is I have a mail (from gmail) with images in it that I need to > save in my TW. > > To save mails I normally press print > get the source from the print > version > paste into TW > save as html. > > But this mail have pictures (base64 in the source) that don't get > recognised in html tiddlers. > > So the question is: > Is there a better way to import/copy mails with pictures to TW? > > and > > am I maybe doing this in a silly way? is there a better way to save emails? > > > > EDIT: I also tried to print the email as pdf and import the pdf to TW. > However it only gives me binary googly goo in the tiddler > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

If you don't want to do this manually you will probably have to use some non-tiddlywiki things. Perl at a minimum I suspect. I am moving away from using gmail and I have been working on this a bit. If you want to do this on a large scale I could probably help. I am working on making a mysql database of my emails and using tiddlywiki as a front-end for searching and viewing them. It may take a while for me to get this together though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

Hi HC Haase, > I have a mail (from gmail) with images in it that I need to save in my TW. > What would be your desired workflow in TW, so that you want to have the mail inside? Fwiw, you can easily create an external link to that mail to open it in gmail. For searchability, you could simply hold whatever abstract would be important from that mail, rather than the entire mail. This is what a wiki is for me: a distillation of knowledge, not entire sources. > To save mails I normally press print > get the source from the print > version > paste into TW > save as html. > > But this mail have pictures (base64 in the source) that don't get > recognised in html tiddlers. > I can see how this may be problematic, confidentiality-wise, but at this point we may need to see the actual source you try to paste. Did you actually try to create an html-only tiddler by setting its type to text/html? Is there a better way to import/copy mails with pictures to TW? > Surely, it all depends on the nitty gritty details, e.g. where those images are and whether or not you need to extract them from your source or if the html output of your mail system is usable as is or needs some trimming. > I maybe doing this in a silly way? is there a better way to save emails? > All depends on the purpose of the exercise. So, my question would indeed be: Why the whole mail? Atm, I don't think TiddlyWiki is an efficient email archive, so I would think I'd abstain from that exercise as much as possible. > EDIT: I also tried to print the email as pdf and import the pdf to TW. > However it only gives me binary googly goo in the tiddler > How exactly did you actually try? Because it shouldn't yield "binary googly goo". Have you considered putting your email pdf in a "attachments" folder and then reference or embed that as an external file?
