Show inline image preview in editor #1254

Feature suggestion: Is it possible to show image previews in the Editor? May be configurable as an option. Markdown is quite readable, I find myself using Preview only for images. It will be awesome if this functionality is available inline in Editor.

I'm sorry, I have to pass on this one. The editor is a QPlainTextEdit that is not capable of showing images (and neither should it be), that's why we have the preview panel.

no worries, thanks for considering :)

Maybe it can be done some day, so I'll open this again.

I've been looking for a Notion replacement and found QOwnNote. While I understand the technical reasons for not rendering images in the editor, my goal is to not have to worry about the underlying Markdown, and just have a WYSIWYG editor that uses Markdown under the hood for portability. Obsidian does this quite well.

Anyway, I'm happy that pasting images from the clipboard works, and they're created in the media subdirectory and rendered in the preview.
