Ehancement: Can we add support to translate local disk path to local same-directory path?

[hazzm02]

For example,

in origin.md, there is a line like this:
![](C:\Users\bob\Downloads\20230404180127.png)

convert it to:
![](./images/20230807_1129162009.png)

After converting, the file is also copied to the new directory.

Sometimes we need such conversion because sphinx-doc can not refer to a path out of the source directory.

Thank you!

I'm sorry. Maybe you should provide a more detail example to show your idea. Do you want to convert the image path to an absolute path or else?

Sorry that i did not make it clear.

The original path is a abs path, but it is already on a local disk.
The new path is a relative path, which is often at same directory as the markdown file or the sub directory of the markdown file.

For example:
in file mds/test.md:
![](C:\Users\bob\Downloads\20230404180127.png)

in file converted_mds/test.md:
![](./images/20230807_1129162009.png)

The file C:\Users\bob\Downloads\20230404180127.png is copied to converted_mds/images/20230807_1129162009.png.

You can use Joplin as a bridge to realize your idea by following these steps:

1. Import your Markdown files into Joplin.
2. Export your files from Joplin, and the application will automatically generate a local folder to save images.
