where are images in notes stored in Zotero 6?
Hi everyone,
This is potentially a very simple question and I apologise as I am still learning to use Zotero.
I often click and drag images into my Zotero notes, sometimes they are variants of figure that already exist in an article but I tend to add more details or rearrange them in some fashion.
I have also recently started looking into Obsidian and how to export those notes in .md format and although every Zotero-related link works beautifully, images that I have either attached or click and dragged into my notes are nowhere to be found.
Would you be able to help with how to accommodate that? I am not sure where images are stored when dragged and even if I attach an image directly to a file it is still not 'visible' to the markdown export.
Many thanks!

They're not currently included in Markdown export, because it's not straightforward how it should be done — including the image from the file path on disk wouldn't work on another computer, and encoding as a data URI in the Markdown would result in a massive file that would only work if a given editor supported rendering those. But we'll likely offer some sort of option eventually.
I guess it won't be the end of the world if i also had a separate folder where those images are stored. :)
Many thanks for the clarification!
That would be a nice way to implement it but not sure how feasible it can be! :D
