⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• [X] This is a enhancement/feature request. Not a bug or question.
• [X] The topic is not already reported at Issues. (I've searched it).
• [X] Markor is up to date. See Releases for the latest version. Updates are available from F-Droid and GitHub.
• [X] The wanted feature/enhancement is not present in the latest development version (git master). (Please download and try the test version of Markor, named Marder. Don't worry; Markor and Marder appear as completely separate applications. You can install both side-by-side, and Markor's settings are not touched. If your desired feature is present, you don't need to open this issue. The change will be part of the next Markor update.)

Description

This is a privacy matter. When I open a "foreign" markdown file, the app automatically and without warning fetches linked images, etc. I understand that this is a feature not a bug, but you must be aware that it is abusable, which is why email clients have an option (or even the default option) to not load remote resources until requested manually by the user.

Thanks

Please feel free to work on it and create a merge request to make the improvements available to others.

It is like 5 lines of Java + 5 lines of XML.

I don't consider such a option, not sure what it should bring - you can still connect to stuff in many other ways then images / img src.

What can be more interesting is to generally have all network acess disabled in the whole app, as far I know that however is only possible at compile time with the INTERNET permission.
