Looks like obsidian doesn’t check initial path for file, so it just copy even if you add images from initial attachment folder (@WhiteNoise should we consider it like a bug?). For obsidian it’s “you moved files from outside of obsidian, I’ll copy them”.
Obsidian page still displays them
It’s because if file have unique name in vault,obsidian will recognize which file you’re looking for only by it’s name.
For now, I think best way to work with your usecase is:
- Open note.
- Pin it (3 dot’s to the right of the title → pin)
- Select images in obsidian via shift+click. (Upd: I have just found that you can also select multiple files also via alt+click.)
- Move them to note.
But I don’t work with many images in obsidian, so maybe there is a better way to do what you want.
