If anyone is interested on a different workflow I have developed for myself to do with images within “instruction wikis” is as follows for my single file wikis and no server backend. I just developed it so I may need to revise.
Step 1 - Include in wiki
- Capture with snagit, edit customise resize and annotate as needed
- Drag the resulting image from the image tray and drop on my wiki in the editor, by default an
[img[imagename]]- They are always unique image names and thus tiddler and would be filenames
- I don’t bother renaming but can #1
- Optionally make any edits in wiki and some of the proposed features would be helpful but not essential.
- After a heavy session of adding images I can go to step 2 - externalise images
step 2 - externalise images
-
I use this Externalising Image Files with JSzip using tools you probably already have
Here is a different approach – a set of tools that allow you to zip up your image files into one convenient download which you can then extract wherever you want.
-
I do a bulk export and unzip in my wikis folder or subfolder
#1
- If I could get such imports to gain a
$:/images/prefix so they no longer appear in searches it would help. - If, like backlinks in the Info dropdown, we could see where a given image is in use, which is just as useful in many cases as renaming them.
- I think this needs to be developed a form of backlinks for tiddler names in transclusions
{{imagename}}or[img[imagename]]to easily find where they are in use.
