Until someone with the answer shows up, a few questions. What information *are *you storing in the TW (if not EXIF, then what?) ?
Is this being served up via Bob, or single-file? I'm sure there are tools for extracting and making files from EXIF data (DigiKam will make sidecars, for instance). So if you had 4000 exif files, it should be possible to make 4000 tid files that could then be either combined or linked to existing image tiddlers. -- Mark On Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 10:53:46 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > I have a long term project to showcase 4000 images of paintings made by > children of Bonfire Night (a great UK festival held on the 5th of November). > > I already figured out how to show them without them ever having Tiddlers > in TW (too many to do one by one).
