Towards a friendlier workflow for images in notes

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

#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.
