I don’t know that Obsidian exactly since when didn’t display local outside-vault pictures as it did before. Such picture can still be displayed correctly but only when not embedded in a callout/table. Otherwise, they are displayed like a broken link.
The reason why I’ve stored the multimedia files outside rather than inside the vault is to keep the vault size as small as possible for easier backup.
I actually have no idea whether this is a bug or there is some new way of refering to a local outside-vault file, that has been developed in replacement of the old markdown link. But I did have tried to google my problem and search within this forum with no answer found. Actually, such issue has apparently never been encountered/reported by anyone. So I now report this as an issue or whatever to capture the developers’ and other users’ attention. Hope somebody could help me out.
