So if the image tiddler is called image.png, use, and a mini-embedded PDF viewer will appear at that point in the tiddler. The easiest way to include it is to simply transclude it.

Let's create a new tiddler called ImageTest for this purpose.
#WHO TO OPEN TIDDLYDESKTOP HOW TO#
Once you have an image in your wiki, you probably want to know how to include it in a tiddler. Go ahead and import a file or two into your wiki, including at least one image so we can take a look at that below.

In particular, when using TiddlyDesktop with certain operating systems and browsers, it may be tricky to get drag-and-drop to work, but the Import button will almost always work fine. If it's easier than dragging and dropping, you can also click the Import button on the Tools tab of the sidebar to select a file to import. For instance, if you wanted a copy of the Classifying Tags section in your wiki, you could simply grab that link and drag and drop it right onto your wiki window (this doesn't consistently work, however, if you don't have both wikis open in the same web browser – you may have to try another browser in some cases). You can also copy content between TiddlyWikis this way. You can import multiple files at once by dragging multiple files you'll have the chance to review and uncheck any that you don't want before you import. This works for text, images, PDFs, and even binary files (though this last option is usually a bad idea, as TiddlyWiki can lock up if you try to open the tiddler for a large binary file, and you won't be able to read it anyway). $:/Import will show a link to the newly added tiddler. Click Import, and a new tiddler is created containing the content. A banner will appear at the top of the screen that says “Drop here.” When you drop the file, a special tiddler called $:/Import will appear. Want a file to be part of your TiddlyWiki? Just drag and drop it out of your computer's file manager onto the TiddlyWiki window. Let's talk about how we do it and what concerns we'll have to think about. This is, perhaps unexpectedly, one of the more troublesome aspects of TiddlyWiki, which is why we've left it until now. What about including images or other files in the wiki? So far, we've written an awful lot of formatted text.
