Boostnote: [Feature Request] Markdown Export with Images

[tatoosh]

Exporting to markdown will not export the images.
There should be an option to export in the assets subfolder.

current export image:

![0.04i5dwoqj2x6](\:storage\0.04i5dwoqj2x6.png)

should be:

![image1](\assets\image1.png)

If you export one single note as markdown, the images will be exported in the images subfolder. This feature is already implemented #1261

But, I agree with you, this should work the same, if you export the whole folder as markdown notes.

Thanks for the reference. But then this is a bug, i reproduced it today in Windows 10.

Having the same problem. The images do not seem to be exported to an images folder when exporting even a single note as the functionality described in that PR advertises.

I think a working version was implemented in https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/1874 and will be available in the next release. So i guess after the next release, this issue might be closed @Rokt33r

[felix-last]

Still an issue as of version 0.11.7, tested on macOS.

[ehhc]

@felix-last Are you trying to export a note that already contained images previous to version 0.11.5? Or did you just added the images lately to your note? I fear the way i've implemented it, it is not working with "legacy" images..

[felix-last]

@ehhc I'm using a new note with an image I just added. No "images" or "attachments" folder is created and the exported markdown contains something like ![2873b55e.png](:storage/63b9142c-6e26-449c-8333-1d81f24499b2/2873b55e.png).

@felix-last thanks for the information. I think i misunderstood the initial desciption of this issue. I thought you try to export it as HTML in that case the attachments will be exported as well. I might have forgotten to implement it for markdown export.. I'm sorry for that. I will have a look at it in the next days.. Or if you have time: feel free to have a look at it yourself :)

[felix-last]

@ehhc Thank you. I would greatly appreciate your work on this! :)

@tatoosh can you do me a favor and check if this features works for you with the newest boostnote version??

[jdewinne]

It works when exporting a single note. However, when exporting a folder, it still shows something like:

Thx, it is working for single notes. But it would be nice to configure the output folder. Normally i am using assets subfolder.

[ehhc]

@jdewinne it should be fixed as soon as https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/2383 was merged

[jdewinne]

@ehhc it looks #2383 isn't merged (yet). Also this is related to commit b93d7a204fc1b3a0bb9e9d46c33961a706f549b3 which is on master, but not released yet. That commit is about being able to export "storage", which I assume would export all folders, and all notes in those folders.

[ehhc]

@jdewinne you are right: #2383 isn't merged yet. I hope it gets merged soon. Furthermore you're also right with your concerns about the export-storage feature.. it will not export the attachments since they reimplemented the feature instead of using existing code..

[advename]

Why is this not a global feature, when exporting all folders to markdown?

[Flexo013]

@advename Your problem is most likely caused by #2785
