Hi Rich,

that is actually very possible and (except for the fact that the correct filetype may not always be determined correctly, when purely looking at the url) more or less easy to implement. However.. I think that it ultimately would only be a temporary solution (remember: images tend to disappear from the web) and that a more permanent one would involve storing the image either locally or via some realiable service.

P.S.: I will try to do a simple proof-of-concept to show how the mechanism could work.

Here is something I noticed today and I don't know how you would do it or if it is even possible.

In Firefox when I grab an image from a site and drag it into TW it creates a Tiddler called 'Untitled' and puts the link to the image in the body of the Tiddler.

How could I actually put this "Image URL" into a field name with the field value "_canonical_uri" and set the Type to "JPG / GIF / SVG / PNG"? I am manually changing it around except it seems like this should be possible since it puts the link into the body.

Here is another way to say it as that reads weird above
You Drag and Drop an Image to Firefox
Instead of a URL being put into the Body of the Tiddler
1. "field type" is set to _canonical_uri
2. "field name" gets the URL put into it
3. Type is set to whatever the image is

Does this make sense and could it be done?
Thanks everyone for your help.
