When pasting an image in, it uses "\" backslash characters for the file path. This breaks the HTML rendering of the Markdown text in Github.
Broken:
![](folder\image.png)
Expected:
![](folder/image.png)
By correcting the tool to use forward slashes "/" in the image url it will fix the markdown to be compatible with Github.
A little more information about this bug:
The reason paths can be broken if a backslash "\" is used is because certain web servers (like Github) are very strict with slashes. All URL paths need to use forward slashes "/" on Github and other server; primarily Linux servers. Windows servers are generally friendly to using either type of slash.
