Image duplicated to root when dragged between panes after moving

Bug reports

Steps to reproduce

  1. Split the workspace into left and right panes. Open a note in the left pane, and open an image file as a tab in the right pane.
  2. In the right pane (or via the file explorer), move the image from its original folder to another folder within the vault. (After moving, the path shown in the image tab’s title bar updates correctly to the new location.)
  3. Drag the image from the right pane into the note in the left pane to insert a link to the image.
  4. Check the root directory of the vault.

Expected result

The note should only contain a link pointing to the image’s new location. No new files should be created in the root directory.

Actual result

A copy of the image is automatically created in the root directory of the vault, and the link inserted into the note points to this newly created copy, not to the original file after the move.

Sorry, the description in step 2 should be corrected to: “In the File Explorer in the left pane, move…” rather than “In the right pane (or via the file explorer), move…”
