Steps to reproduce
- Open settings, files and links
- Change “Default location for new attachments” to “In subfolder under current folder”
- Set a subfolder name
- Add an image to a note
- Check where the newly added image is stored
Did you read and follow the Troubleshooting Guide? [Yes/No]
Yes.
Expected result
The newly added image should be stored in the specified subfolder under the folder containing the current one.
Actual result
The setting does not appear to take effect. Newly added images are still stored seperately under the vault instead of in the specified subfolder under the current note’s folder.
