What issue do you have?

At some point links in a note (PDF, Zip, etc.) don't do anything when Ctrl-clicked in the WYSIWYG editor. Over a year ago, I imported everything from Evernote. Originally, the links opened the document or file. If I switch to the markdown editor, the links work. Links to web pages do work in the WYSIWYG editor.

In the past two days, I had to do a fresh reinstall of Window 10, and reinstall all of my programs. I installed the latest version of Joplin and synced with Dropbox. Encryption is on. After everything synced and decrypted, I tried the file links again. They still don't work in the WYSIYWG editor.

See the attached screenshot. A simple click on the link in markdown mode opens the PDF. No combination of clicking (or right-click and Open) will open the PDF in WYSIWYG mode.

Tried 2 minutes ago, with Joplin 2.13.9, absolutely no problem with links in either editor.

Did you import all your Evernote notes as HTML rather than Markdown? That code looks very messy.

Try creating a new note with the below as the link and see if it works in both editors.

Check the long number in brackets is the same as in your original note. My eyes have trouble copying long hex strings!!

Yes, I did originally import as HTML. Your suggestion works in both editors.

However, as I said, the links used to work in both editors. I'm not sure when things changed. It's the same notes as before.

I really don't want to go through hundreds of notes to manually change the code. Evernote is long gone, so I can't re-import everything.

After trying to open the link in the Rich Text Editor, when you go back to the Markdown Editor is the href="6782df27c34d44d7b7367251b9a91d09" bit still there or has it been replaced by href="#"?

I only ask as this seems to be possibly similar to, but not quite the same as, this bug which it appears has been fixed for an imminent release.

## Operating system macOS ## Joplin version 2.13.5 ## Desktop versio…n info Joplin 2.13.5 (prod, darwin) Client ID: 64df9fdc01c6479ead3a1f7b132d48a6 Sync Version: 3 Profile Version: 44 Keychain Supported: Yes Revision: 1d04ec6 ## Current behaviour Editing an HTML note with an attachment link in the rich text editor clears the link's target. For example, ```html <a href=":/93d25985c31c4aad91d5e710390de5f1" alt="syncReport-1689640089262.txt">syncReport-1689640089262.txt</a> ``` becomes ```html <p><a data-from-md="" href="#">syncReport-1689640089262.txt</a>. Some edit here.</p> ``` ### Reproduction steps 1. Create a new HTML note (for example, by exporting a note as HTML, then importing it as HTML) 2. Open the note in the markdown/HTML editor (HTML in this case) 3. Delete the note's content 4. Attach a file to the note using the "attach" button 5. Switch to the rich text editor 6. Edit the note 7. Switch back to the markdown/HTML editor ## Expected behaviour The resource link should be preserved. ## Logs **Note**: This log is from the Electron development tools and starts just before attaching a resource to the HTML note. ``` Logger.ts:254 07:58:35: Preparing scheduled sync Logger.ts:254 07:58:35: Starting scheduled sync Logger.ts:254 07:58:35: Synchronizer: Sync: starting: Starting synchronisation to target 3... supportsAccurateTimestamp = false; supportsMultiPut = false [1699977515154] Logger.ts:254 07:58:35: Synchronizer: Indexing resources...

It's still there.

mojoe · 2024-01-07T02:50:13.084Z

The new version 2.13.13 fixed this. My attachments open again in the WYSIWYG editor. Thanks.
