Steps to reproduce
Drag a file from Windows Explorer to an Obsidian editor pane, hold Ctrl and drop.
Expected result
A standard Windows file:///C|/path/to/file-style URL should be inserted (note vertical bar and forward slashes)
Actual result
The actual link is file:///C:%5Cpath%5Cto%5Cfile (colon and escaped backslashes), which is not supported by all Windows tools. (For example, attempting to open such URLs in Chrome does not work.)
Environment
- Operating system: Windows
- Obsidian version: 0.12.10
Additional information
To create a proper Windows file: URL, the backslashes must be replaced with slashes, and the colon replaced with a vertical bar, before URL-encoding the result. (e.g. in handleDropIntoEditor(), but ideally anywhere else Obsidian converts a Windows path into a file: URL as well.)
