Asset Save Location

You can specify where images pasted into the VSCode editor are saved.

Overview​

VSCode allows you to insert images using the following methods:

  • Press Ctrl+V when an image is in the clipboard
  • Drag and drop an image onto the VSCode text editor while holding the Shift key

By default, images are saved in the ./attachments folder, in a path that mirrors the note's category structure.
For example, if you paste image.png into Tips/Life/Hello World.md, the image will be saved under attachments/Tips/Life/Hello World.

<<FlexiMark Workspace>>
├── Tips
│   └── Life
│       └── Hello World.md     <- using image.png
└── attachments
    └── Tips
        └── Life
            └── Hello World
                └── image.png  <- saved here

How to Change​

Open .vscode/settings.json and modify the section below. The following is the default setting:

.vscode/settings.json
{
  ...
  "markdown.copyFiles.destination": {
    "**/*.md": "${documentWorkspaceFolder}/attachments/${documentRelativeDirName}/${documentBaseName}/"
  },
  ...
}
