Pasted images disappear #87

In some instances, when I paste an image into a note, when I come back to the note later, the image is no longer displayed and in its place is a placeholder to the file. This is an example of the text shown instead of the expected image:

This has not been consistent. In some cases if I exit Helix Notes and reopen, the picture is displayed again. In some cases I have to delete the displayed text, re-paste the image, and then it is fine.

I created a folder for Helix Notes in a folder inside of My Documents, which I believe is synced to One Drive. My thought process was that I could then sign into One Drive on another PC and be able to open the same Notes folder on that computer too (although not at the same time obviously).
I do notice now that they icon for the Helix folder that I created is showing the icon like I uploaded in the attached file. I can set that to 'Always keep on this device' if that is recommended or if needed I can move this to a folder not controlled by One Drive and set up something like SyncThing to keep the folder on both PCs.

Hello, keep the setting: Always keep on this device

With that setting on, does the issue still occur?

I will change it to that setting and test for a couple days. Thanks!

I have the same issue quite often. One moment the image is visible, the other it's not. One thing I noticed is the following. Try clicking the Toggle Markdown Editor button <> repeatedly. In my case the visibility switches between code and image in the formatted view (not the markdown view - which is obviously always code).

Is this still happening on v1.3.1? The paste pipeline was refactored, blob images are now persisted to disk before save. If you can still reproduce, share whether it's paste from clipboard or drag-drop.

I haven't seen too much of this since the update. Yesterday I did have an issue where an image pasted directly below a collapsible section would disappear 100% of the time. When I moved the image above the collapsible section it stayed without issue. In this particular note the only content was a collapsible section with some plain text and then this image directly below.

The images that I am adding are all pasted, not drag-drop.
