Pandoc does not export pictures due to wrong path

[sOER-Frank]

When I want to export an Obsidian file to word in which I integrated a picture I get the following error message:

My pictures are stored in an attachment folder.

What can I do?

This might work for one fixed directory, but I have many folders with notes and images.

For me the better workaround is:

Suppose the note is in

/foo/bar/note.md

use the plugin to export note.md as LaTeX to /foo/bar/note.tex

then on the command line,

cd /foo/bar
pdflatex note.text

and that will give a correct note.pdf

There is something fundamentally broken in this plugin. Probably it does not put its current directory to where the note is, before running pandoc.

I have found a hot fix:

In the main.js of the pandoc plugin, in the functionconst pandoc = ..., under the line

let args = [];

add these two lines

args.push('--resource-path')
args.push(path$1.dirname(input.file))

The effect is that pandoc will be called with `--resource-path=parentdir where parentdir is the parent directory containing the note. This will enable pandoc to resolve all relative links in the note.

Of course, this is a fix in the generated main.js. @OliverBalfour Maybe you can review this proposal and fix it in the source? I think this will improve the plugin a lot!

I have written a pull-request in the mean-while.
