All Images filter expression

, ,
#1

I want a filter expression that will show ALL images, including system icons. This is what I have so far, but it’s not showing system images. [is[image]] Someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

This will be a start [all[shadows+tiddlers]is[image]] but then “images” is not nessasarily a technical term, there are external images, svg and posibly others. Try this in Advanced Search Filters;
[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Image]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]is[image]] +[sort[]]

Also see the type field with the prefix image, or tiddlers with the _canonical_uri field…

There is an Icon Gallery which you can use to see, how we did it.

TW core icons have no type, so they use text/vnd.tiddlywiki by default. They do contain wikitext elements. So they only have a tag $:/tags/Image.

That is probably the best we can do generically. _canonical_uri is great… if images are the only external files you store. SVGs are fine… if you can find them. But how would you do that? And what would you do of SVGs embedded among other text?

And wait, what would you do with a tiddler than contained this text?
