As I said on Dendron: Great feature! I love it :heart:
But people on the internet in general follow very bad practices when it comes to respecting copyright and attribution. Google Images is regarded as a 'steal-what-you-want' treasure chest. Personally I only use open licenses or public domain images, and take care to attribute properly where the license requires this.
The image copy-paste feature is really productive, but it encourages the 'steal' mentality because I lose the information on the original filename and URL location of the image. Of course one can do the attribution manually at the time of pasting (this is the only time where you can still associate the old and new filename). But vscode-paste-image could also provide various degrees of help.
This feature can be designed various ways (and parts might be better implemented in Dendron, idk). I will just give some suggestions of what this might include:
Creates a file in assets with a lookup table of source-URL --> new-image-filename, adds entries on each copy-paste.
This is insufficient for attribution, but allows me to do that work later on, and can serve as proof of where I found the img.
Auto-includes (maybe based on config) a text below the image linking to the original source, or hyperlinks the image.
Generates a full attribution text (template set in config?) based on metadata found in the image.
Note: I first reported this on the Dendron project until I noticed they use this fine project to facilitate image copy-paste (https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/324)
