Question

This is a usage model type of question...

I created a page with several drawings in it - actually, GIFs and VISIOs and BMPs, recorded from my TabletPC, not TWikiDraw.

Obviously, these are attachments, referenced with ATTACHURL where I want them displayed.

Later (now), I want to refactor this large page, splitting it up into several small pages.

Refactoring the TWiki text is easy - just cut and paste to the new page. (I'd like to make it even easier, but that's another topic.)

I find that refactoring the drawings is quite hard - it's not just a matter of cutting and pasting the sections that I want to extract into the new page, but I also have to move attachments, etc.

Q: is there an easier way to do this?

Answer

Simple solution: In the new topic, refer to the attachments original topic with: %PUBURL%/%WEB%/OriginalTopic/picture.gif (assuming the same web), or %PUBURL%/Otherweb/OriginalTopic/picture.gif

Alternate solution: Move the attachment to the new location (Action on attachment), %ATTACHURL%/picture.gif works as expected.
