If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Even the WYSIWYG editor won't let you do that, so you might need to use a work-around. One way to do that is to open the document in MS Word, then in the File menu select "Save as Web Page". Select the format "*.htm,*.html" (not *.mht), so that it creates a companion folder with the images.

Then you have to attach the images to the TWiki document. If there are a lot of images, it may be worth installing the TWiki:Plugins/BatchUploadPlugin for that. Simply ZIP up the images and upload the ZIP: the Plugin will extract them as individual attachments.

Any update on this? Plans to make it possible to paste-and-attach all at once, like other wikis such as Confluence do?

We have an ongoing issue with users pasting images into the WYSIWYG editor, it being interpreted as text, and bloating the page to the point that it crashes.

The latest PatternSkin supports now a drag & drop file & image attachment operation. Still not in the WYSIWYG editor, but much more usable than before.

Also, TWiki is open source software. If you need a new feature you can support the community by either creating and supplying a patch, or by hiring a TWiki consultant to do that for you.
