Home button always return to a specific wiki

I'd still love to have the home button on the PC client always return to the home page of a specific wiki rather than the home page of the current wiki. I use one wiki as my 'main' wiki from which all others radiate and it would just save a couple clicks to be able to click that button and return to my 'main' homepage. :)

At the moment I have a 'return to main wiki' link on the homepages of all the separate wikis and this works well enough. It would just be handy to click the button is all. ;)

Pagename as wiki shortcut

It would be very handy to have a 'Copy page name in wiki format to clipboard' option in the Bookmarks on the menu in the PC client.

I'm using the Calender wiki and often would like to reference a days notes in my main wiki. So having an option which would create the [wiki_shortcut | page_pagename] shortcut would be awesome.

Wow, the HTC X7500 Advantage is really cool. Dunno why I've never heard of it before!

Dragging photos into the wiki is very handy ... they're copied into a imgs folder below the wiki page directory. My most common use of this is to drag photos directly from a page in my webbrowser (I use Firefox but I assume it works with others as well) into an open bladewiki page.

Moving images with pages

I'm using bladeWiki daily to keep track of all kinds of things in work and hobbies. One thing I'm doing a lot is dragging images into pages (I'm collecting historical pictures of my area of the city). It works very well but I've hit a bit of a snag: one of the sections in my main wiki is getting kind of big and I'd like to separate it out into a new wiki. There is a command to move pages into another wiki but it doesn't move the images in the pages with the page. Any chance that feature could be added?

Oh, no rush. The camera on the TyTN is so terrible I don't think I'll be using it that much. ;)

Thanks for the help flickr though!

Yep, that works!

On the blog entry announcing this app it shows other ways to use the picture which I don't see on this version (sending by email being one). Are you planning to add those again on a future version?

Thanks!

Won't authorize with flickr

I'm having trouble getting this app to work. I click the Authorize flickr button and go through the procedure of allowing blade camera access to my flickr account in IE but when I return from IE and click the Complete Authentication button it works for a bit and then returns but does not appear to authorize with flickr. The Upload to flickr button never becomes active.

I'm running this on an HTC TyTN II with WM6.1

Good job!

I love it when I'm about to type a question or make a feature request and discover that the feature is already in the program and in the help file! In this case I was going to ask about making a horizontal line in the wiki but I don't have to: it's in the help file.

Brilliant. ;)

I'm happy with blade wiki on my TyTN II

The only issue I've had was for some reason all the wiki pages were deleted from the storage card on one occasion and then during the sync they were deleted from my computer as well. I've switched to having a separate local wiki for adding info on the TyTN so that I only copy the main wiki ONTO the device and the local wiki OFF the device. I have links in each wiki connecting one to the other so it's quite convenient.
