How to add images to notes?

[vvs]

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I add images to Boostnote so that they could be embedded into notes?

I see that some drag'n'drop of images into the app is suggested (and implemented?), but it doesn't work for me. When I drag a JPG image into BoostNote, nothing happens.

I am using Boostnote 0.8.10

No problem, thank you for your message @vvs !
My suggestion is to write markdown like this.

Since drag a image into Boostnote seems broken, we will investigate it!

Here's what I figured so far. If the note is not locked, as soon as I pick up any image in the Windows Explorer, the Boostnote goes out of focus, and the currently edited note gets into "view mode". Dragging the image into this note does nothing.

If I lock the edit mode, then dragging the image does work in a sense that the image is copied into my storage's images files, and some text is appended to the note. But the image is still not visible.

Here's what is being appended:

![Anomalies.png](P:%5CMy%20Docs%5CBoostNotes/images/Anomalies.png)

Please note that my storage location is: P:\My Docs\BoostNotes

You're right. It is probably a bug that image is not displayed in markdown preview, so we will investigate this.

It looks like the URL inserted is wrong. If I replace '%5C' with slash, then the image is OK. :)

But what I really wanted is a local, relative path, relative to the 'STORAGE/images'. So, in my case, the ideal case would be:

![Anomalies.png](Anomalies.png)

Adding more feedback on this, it should be a good feature support relative path as @vvs just comment!
Also, it is part of issue 638.

Thanks!

It should also store images somewhere in the storage also. Syncing with google drive and dropbox will need this.

At the moment boostnote doesn't create an image folder when you drop an image into the app
is that ok?

Hi, @Alaev. I fixed it in #710 and will be released in a few week.

[Alaev]

@asmsuechan Glad to hear. TY.

I would like to support the idea of the relative paths for the images. I think having them realitev to the storage location would enable moving and re-linking storages without loosing images. Happy to elaborate if require.

[asmsuechan]

@evmin I'm going to try to implement it soon.
