Steps to reproduce
If I drag and drop a photo from my external drive, it sometimes does not get copied into obsidian. I tried it on the Sandbox with no plugins etc. (thanks for the tip this is a good way to test).
It seems to have to do with the naming of files. If the names are long the files do not get created in the vault. e.g. 2022_04_14 06 36 PM IMG_1433 04/14/2022.JPG fails when dragged from the external drive to the vault.
If I drag and drop a photo holding down the “option” key it creates a uri as expected with an external link to the file.
If I drag a photo from the MAC’s hard drive, it works as expected and the photo is added to my vault’s image location.
