clipper not saving images along side markdown

Open pcause opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

I am using Firefox. In the options for the extension I have:

  • download API checked
  • always show save as dialog
  • download images alongside markdown checked
  • {title}_data/ as the Image filename prefix template

When I download a page I get the content as content.md but no imahes. I do get a files called content(1).md which is empty.

EDIT: I found that even though in Firefox for download location I have "Ask me every time", I could get images downloaded burt they are saved in what was the Downloads (c:\web\saved) folder specified before I switched to "ask every time"

I'm having a similar difficulty. I'm probably doing something wrong. Just making note of it here.

I have this issue too. It asks for the md location and saves it there. But the images are always saved to the default firefox download location.

I have the same problem.

If I "Send Tab to Obsidian", the images are not downloaded and their links in the md file remain the same.

If I "Download Tab as Markdown", the md file and the images are downloaded to the "Download" folder and the links in the md file are updated to local links.

So I check the code, it is a bug for sure https://github.com/aancw/markdownload/blob/82688b831b4e268fdf404d3a2cfccc82b713062e/src/background/background.js#L786

download image is false here, so it will never download images
