Broken images in Markdown viewer

Post by zorglups »

Hello,

Happy to see support for Markdown in Altap Salamander.

The viewer shows broken images.

If I right click and select "View Source", notepad opens and I see that the image HTML code is this:
<img src=".%5CzZ_assets%5CAnki.assets%5C1546471044201.png" alt="1546471044201" />

If I save the "viewed source" into an html file and view that html file with the Altap Salamander viewer, the image displays fine.

Is that a known problem ?

Thanks,

Pierre

The viewer uses the about: scheme. Since your url did not use it's own scheme, the viewer could not locate the resource.

It's probably the same reason pressing F5 leaves you with an empty screen.

@Altap: maybe add a <base>-tag pointing to the .md's folder in order to fix @zorglups' problem?

I now tried to add an image myself. Knowing that a relative path does not work I tried an absolute path, including file: scheme. This cause the resulting src property to be the empty string:

Code: Select all

![Skizze](file://HOST/SHARE/Path/image.jpg)
results in

Code: Select all

<img src="" alt="Skizze" />
Is this a bug or a security feature? Do I need to set up a web server in order to be able to embed pictures?
