Allow user pastes images from clipboard

[pcwu]

Hey guys! Boostnode is really awesome!

I wish a new useful feature:

When paste image to markdown ,can make a directory name "assets" and paste the image as a png file in this image ,then will insert a relative image url

like this:

Atom package: markdown-image-helper

Oh right! That sounds good.
What do you think about it? @asmsuechan

Hi @pcwu, is it for prevention of broken link? If it's true, I'll try to ensure that create a directory into boostnote storage like '~/boostnote/images' and images are thrown into it on paste. Does this suit your needs?

[pcwu]

Hello @asmsuechan, it sounds great! Thanks!

I think relative path is better. It might sync-up in different device with different absolute path in the future.

Maybe 'images' dir is beside 'notes' dir and the insert link is like /![]/(images/xxx.png)

[asmsuechan]

@pcwu, I understand what you want. It's for transplantable. I feel it's so good interface. Nice suggestion!

[th-lange]

yeah relative paths in general would be great (for sync)

especially, as the markdown viewer does not seem to pick up on OS specific "shortcuts" like ~ or ..
So this does not work on macOS, as it searches in the Applications Folder, which it assumes to be the Web Root

![Cap-theorem](~/Desktop/someImage.png)
![Cap-theorem](../assets/someImage.png)

Error

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
file:///Applications/Boostnote.app/Contents/Resources/app/media/365505812.png 

Put it in a fixed location besides the notes folder sounds great (under whatever name).

BTW: I ❤️ your application

The app is great.

• Vim mode
• Night mode
• Great edit/preview switch
• Markdown

Next step is easier image paste functionality and probably search within the notes!

How about this? #730

FYI @evmin, added context search box at v0.8.12👍 #696

It's been a while, but I'm working on this request now.

Is this issue solved? I find that 0.11.2 on windows 10 x64 still can't paste image from clipboard.

[iax7]

it does, just use CMD + SHIFT + V

Check Paste Smartly

Can't find this on the new version of the app, sadly.

@ijoseph There is a different repo for the new app in case you want to post a new issue.
