When used on platforms that provide the necessary support (such as ~TiddlyDesktop), you can optionally import binary files as external tiddlers that reference the original file via the ''_canonical_uri'' field.

By default, a relative path is used to reference the file. Optionally, you can specify that an absolute path is used instead. You can do this separately for "descendent" attachments -- files that are contained within the directory containing the wiki -- vs. "non-descendent" attachments.

Add "external-attachments" plugin This plugin provides support for importing tiddlers as external attachments -- it only works on platforms such as TiddlyDesktop that provide the required "path" property with imported files. Using the plugin means that instead of importing binary files as self-contained tiddlers, they are imported as "skinny" tiddlers that reference the original file via the ''_canonical_uri'' field. This reduces the size of the wiki and thus improves performance. However, it does mean that the wiki is no longer fully self-contained 2017-10-11 16:54:03 +00:00			`title: $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/external-attachments/settings`
