I'm wishin, that like the operating system creates shortcuts, draggin the favicon from the address bar into an open tiddler would create a tiddler with the address in the _canonical_uri field, title in my subtitle field and content field, and zTXt chunk the contents of any text from the page and tag it with the name of the tiddler that I dragged it into. Maybe that could be a really cool pluggin.

My request for a link import was based on linking to relative files and folders. One point to note is that you'll get different behaviour if you drag the link into the text editor within a tiddler you are editing ... We could indeed tweak it to be a relative link if possible. I think this would vastly improve the process of including files in TW. By the way, when I drag a file into the text region of a Tiddler during editing I get redirected by my browser to the file (using most recent Chrome on Win 8) so I do not get the absolute link you mentioned. -Blake On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 4:46 PM, Jeremy Ruston <jeremy.rus...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Blake One point to note is that you'll get different behaviour if you drag the link into the text editor within a tiddler you are editing.

The behaviour I was thinking about in my answers above is when you drag the link into the rest of the TiddlyWiki window, which triggers the import mechanism. It's still unclear to me what we should do when we try to import a link. Best wishes Jeremy.

The problem is that it's not clear what that behaviour should be; for image links, ... I do not think the job of a drag-and-drop file-link inserter should include determining what type of data the file-link leads to. That should be up to the user to decide with [img[...]] or other user-defined file handling macros. The most general & simple solution would be that the drag-and-dropped function should: 1. grab the absolute-file-link string file such as: file:///d:/data/Proj/PhotoScrapbook/origs/%7B040%7DIM-3837.jpg 2. check that the file is within the TiddlyWiki's folder for example: d:/data/Proj/PhotoScrapbook/ 3. paste the appropriate link into a text box if it is in under same folder as the TiddlyWiki then paste the relative file link text : file:.//origs/%7B040%7DIM-3837.jpg and if the file is not under that folder assume the user wants the file to be imported into the TiddlyWiki are raw text. could also have the option to paste the absolute path link text : file:///d:/data/Proj/PhotoScrapbook/origs/%7B040%7DIM-3837.jpg (although I am not sure under what scenario this would be useful). How does that sound? Is that doable or does that violate some browser security limitations? Blake -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
