[BUG] Image pasted from clipboard as .octet-stream and in wrong location

[daeh]

I've been using this plugin for years, so thanks for all the work in developing it.

I'm having a new issue, I think it just started within the last couple days (well after the release of 4.22.1), so I'm not sure what the root cause is, possibly an interaction with the Obsidian version.

Now, when I paste an image from the clipboard, it's inserted into the note as a .octet-stream file in the Obsidian-specified attachment location, rather than as a png in the location specified by this plugin.

E.g. a pasted link is: ![[../Attachments/Pasted image 20240922172957.octet-stream]]

If I drag an image into the note, everything works as intended. E.g. a dragged and dropped image is:

![[_resources/test note.assets/image.png]]

If I turn off this plugin, and paste an image from the clipboard, it's pasted as a png in Obsidian's default folder (as expected). E.g. ![[../Attachments/Pasted image 20240922173247.png]]

And if I paste an image from the clipboard into Typora, it's inserted as a png.

So it looks like it's something to do with this plugin to me, but I'm not sure how to debug from here. It looks like the plugin is trying to take over the default Obsidian pasted image process but isn't succeeding, so it ends up in the Obsidian-specified file location but as a different file format.

I didn't see anything that looked useful in the developer console, but these are the messages:

@daeh you didn't follow the bug template. You had to attach the vault with the problem

Thanks for the quick response. I'm going to be preoccupied for a bit and not sure when I'll have time to dig into what's going on with my setup. I'll close this for now and reopen if I make a minimal vault that reproduces the issue.
