Hello! Online images cannot be copied and pasted into notes Windows 10 19044 Chrome 120 | FireFox 120

If this problem can be solved, the extension will be very powerful and perfect. Example image: https://docs.github.com/assets/cb-82878/mw-1440/images/help/repository/headings-toc.webp

Thanks again for providing a very powerful browser extension! 👍😜

The extension only deals with markdown, which is plain text.

Anything else is considered rich text, like in this case which involves making a request to some arbitrary URL and copying that to clipboard.

@notlmn Hello! Why can't it be further expanded to support images?

That would be scope creep for what this extension is trying to do, one and only one thing, that is to handle markdown.

Having all sorts of features requested from different users added into this requires a lot of development efforts, increases complexity, and adds maintenance burden.

Makes sense, very good! 👍
