Support Pasting Images

Currently, the only way to get an image into an note is to link to an existing image on disk. Would be nice to have support to paste an image into a document (at current cursor) which could then save the image to disk so it can be referenced accordingly.

Make a short video or gif if not sure how, but I just drag an image into the editor. You need to drop it exactly into the text, you will see a cursor as target.

You should be able to do this. You can either drag & drop the image into the editor or copy it to the clipboard and paste it. Like when you create a screenshot. Does it work for you?

Eduard Metzger: Hmm, not sure why it does not work on my end? I will do some more testing to see if I can track down where it goes awry.

Mike Erickson: Feel free to send a video here or on Discord, then I could check what’s going wrong. It’s not too easy I think. Sometimes the cursor doesn’t appear for dropping the image.

Eduard Metzger: Hey bud, I have been able to track down where this not working. I have had much success copy/pasting from other sources, but finally I stumbled upon a case where this does not work. If I attempt to copy/paste from Evernote (which is part of my plan to migrate from Evernote to NotePlan) it will NOT work. I have found a method which *will* work, if I open the image from within Evernote to Preview, I am then able to copy/paste the image again into NotePlan. So, go ahead and close this request :-)

Mike Erickson: Ah, ok I see. Might be they don’t paste the image data into the clipboard from the editor. NotePlan does something similar if you select an image AND text to copy. Closing…
