Thanks Jeremy and Tobias. I should say Damn your Sanity Tobias, #heheh. If it wasn't for reinventing wheels I wouldn't have any wheels at all, #heheh.
Jeremy that trick worked quite well till I got to the hand coding things to make them display properly. I dumped the data into a spreadsheet but it was still hand coding. It worked though. ***PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL NOT CREATE INDIVIDUAL TIDDLERS*** So if you have a few hundred images you can cut down the time to a few minutes using a spreadsheet / Text Editor replace combo. Here is the crazy process(it works so crazy is in the eye of the beholder) 1. Find the folder with the images 2. Drop the folder in Firefox 3. Drag and drop the images from Firefox(it can sort based on size and other stuff) to TiddlyWiki 4. Import the 'Untitled' Tiddler - All Images show up in a single Tiddler 5. Rename the Tiddler(for Sanity Sake) and Save it 6. Copy the names and other data from the Tiddler(If you try to edit the data you will be editing HTML Code) 7. Use Spreadsheet and Text Editor to Change Formatting for Img or XImg depending on what you are using I have the images locally in a folder called "images2" and $:/macros/ximg/path is configured to direct there WORKS <<ximg "IMG_2141.JPG">> WORKS [img[images2/IMG_2141.JPG]] ---End of Process--- <Please Note I overwhelmed my browser for a few minutes with the crazy list I created - Browser finally stopped spinning and I deleted the file> <Is there a way to delete a Tiddler without opening it or viewing it?> Firefox has a plug in that will show the EXIF data https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/exif-viewer/ I have no idea if this helps or is possible to use to grab the EXIF data to use as TAGS So the major disadvantage of this way of importing images is that they are NOT INDIVIDUAL Tiddlers. I have tried a few workarounds but have not come up with a way to make them individual tiddlers with this method of drag and drop import. Oh and Tobias is CORRECT there are already existing Photo Manager that are better suited for this stuff. Of course they are not TiddlyWiki ;) Side note my code went up about 150 - 200K doing the images this way. I think once I massage the data I could delete the original import and drop it down to about 30k or less but it is still only 1 Tiddler. So is there a <<Split Tiddler>> function to take the single big image file list and break them into individual Tiddlers. Here is how the Single Tiddler Looks - I did not need to remove the extra space but I could have using a 'replace' function in my txt editor <<ximg " IMGP0367.JPG ">> <<ximg " IMGP0368.JPG ">> <<ximg " IMGP0369.JPG ">> <<ximg " IMGP0372.JPG ">> As always thanks to everyone for all the help with my 'crazy' ideas.
