Hi there. I wrote the drawing plugin - I can see the need for a completely offline solution and hopefully I can help. BTW if I do further work on the plugin, I would like to do something similar to this, where it stores the SVG (and also VML) in the tiddler, so drawings can be viewed (but not edited) without having to make any call to Project Draw.
Right now, I don't fully understand your problem. If you have the full SVG code in the popup, why can't you just copy it to the tiddler text (or a custom field) and save the tiddler?
