What does "blob:resource://ztoero" mean?
When I view the source code of image within a note, it looks like "img src="blob:resource://zotero/7bd701f5-8f5d-43b3-811e-f1587b190216" alt="" /".
In this case, where is the image located? In Zotero DB or local folder space below item?
Is this burdensome for DB, for example, could it slow down the speed of Zotero?
In my case, I don't use sync function.
I'm very curious.

However, for now, I don't think it causes problems for me.
As for me, some of my notes created in previous versions (e.g. 4.x versions) contain images, and the images are converted into "blob:resource..." codes.
Following new strategy of Zotero 5, I don't add images in notes anymore.
If you think it is problem and are to try removing these codes, it might cause real problems related to data loss, I think.
So I think it's better for users to remove the codes manually and make DB lighter.
Is there any way to re-convert images in "blob~" into real image files?
Or could you tell me how to find the notes containing "blob~" codes?
Images in notes remain not officially supported, and all but the tiniest ones will cause sync errors, but we restored the ability to add them in recent 5.0 betas, since some people rely on the functionality locally. We hope to have a proper solution for embedded notes — that syncs successfully and counts against the user's file sync quota — in the future.
I hope I can save images in notes, because it's very useful function.
For me, it is critical point how much images embedded in notes slow down Zotero.
As you said it might be difficult to measure.
Thanks again.
