### What issue do you have?

Before reporting to GITHUB...

Warning : not the know copy image issue from another app and JOPLIN. Here it's between two JOPLIN notes or inside the same note.

**Issue number one**  
There's not "cut" in the right click on an image:

**Issue number two**  
If I select all images ( [CTRL A] ) and apply a "copy", only one image (the image where I did the right click) will be really copied and pasted !

**Issue number three**  
Impossible to select multiple images with the mouse and [CTRL] (one image to one image) or with [MAJ] (image of the start of the selection to the image of the end of the selection).

**Issue number four**  
However it's possible to do a multiple selection with the mouse and drawing a rectangular selection. BUT... it's impossible to select the first image...

Possibly a limitation of the Rich text editor. If you switch to the mark down editor I suspect you will be able to copy the whole note contents to another note
