Images pasted into notes are saved in %temp% (on Windows)

Any images pasted into notes are saved to the %temp'% (ie. c:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Temp) folder on Windows (don't know about mac but should be similar) and then linked. Unfortunately, %temp% is not the best place/a really bad place to keep important note data. It would be nice, if images were saved to the FF profile, just like the rest of the zotero data, so that they will not be deleted accidentally.

I am aware that the automatic saving of pasted images in %temp% is a Firefox feature but nonetheless think that this problem should be addressed as it may cause the images embedded in notes to be lost easily as %temp% is not the place for permanent storage.
  • Yeah, this isn't our doing. We'll see what we can do to prevent it (or support it in some other manner).
