My memory is kicking in. I realize now that I may never have actually used relative paths on AndTidWiki. I *suspect* hat it might work if you tried it on the real AndTidWiki directory, which is burried under something like Android/data/data/com....antidwik/... The problem is that AndTidWiki is using it's own base path, which is somewhere else entirely, apparently.
What I used to do for images was use a variation of Tobias Bier's ximg macro. My version let you use a drop down list of paths. You select the path you want depending on what platform you are on. Then your images are displayed with a macro: <<ximg localdir/myimage.jpg>> And the macro applies the correct long path and displays the image. I'm pretty sure I have a version without a drop-down for <iframes>. In the iframe case, you edit the original macro to set the path (because I was too lazy to write the drop-down part). I can post the code if you're interested Good luck, -- Mark On Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 3:45:39 AM UTC-7, Al Thorpe wrote: > > Hi Mark, > Thanks for the reply. > > "When you say "opens in an external window", is this some other app, or > does it offer you a slate of apps to open it with?" > This is a video tiddler.
