Feature request: intuitive drop images

[FelixFurtmayr]

Current state

An Image that is dropped is saved and can be added then later by choosing with the "add image button".

My Thoughts

• I don't need to see a new tiddler where the image is stored.
• I don't want to manually add the image after dropping it

Improvement

Just do it like github or gitlab (or in word or writer): Add the image where it is dropped.

That is so easy for the user. There is no reason why I manually should do 5 clicks more, when I always (over 95%) want it like this. For me this missing feature is currently "the" weakness of tiddly wiki (and a lot of other wikis).

Implementation

The basic functionality seems already there, but the process has to be automated. There may be a parameter "imageAutoSave" to enable the described behaviour, but it should be enabled by default, as many people will be happy when this is as easy as possible.

For me it would make sense to optional store files in an extra folder, that one can specify, if the wiki is big. But considering my own usecase, it would be enough if everything is embedded. If the file is 20 MB - I don't care. The browser might still handle it and it won't break due to wrong external links.

ToDo

• please give some Feedback to the idea
• if others see the feature as important as me, the implementation can be discussed

Hi @FelixFurtmayr , looks like your request is regarding TiddlyWiki5, so please add it in its repo at https://github.com/Jermolene/Tiddlywiki5/issues . Closing here since this is the repo of TiddlyWiki Classic (2.x)
