What issue do you have?

I recently imported all of my Evernote notes to Joplin, but all image attachments are showing up like this (see screenshot). Did they not import properly, or am I just not understanding how to access them?

Screenshots

1. Make sure that you have "Markdown editor: Render images" enabled under Tools | Options | Note.

2. In your screenshot you have multiple images on the same line, the markdown editor (with Markdown editor: Render images enabled) will only render images that are on their own line, so you'll need to put each image on their own line, e.g:

![my-image](:/joplinresourceid)

![my-image](:/joplinresourceid)

Hmm, so there's no way to remove the code above the image once I separate the lines? Is there any way to batch execute this so I don't have to manually tweak every image in every file?

And how do I save an image from Joplin back to my computer? Google says you can right-click it or just copy the image, but neither of those work. The image doesn't respond to any interaction.

First, note that there are two editors (a markdown editor and a rich text editor), you can switch between them with the toggle on the top right (the M icon and the pencil icon).

Markdown editor

In the markdown editor, the image syntax will always be shown, but it will render the image below the image syntax as long as its on its own line.

There isn't a built in context menu with options like copy image in the markdown editor, but there is in the markdown viewer (you can hit ctrl + l to toggle between the markdown editor and viewer, and markdown editor/viewer split view). If you right click an image in the markdown viewer, there will be options for Save as and copy image.

There are also a few plugins that will add some similar context menu options when right clicking the image syntax inside the markdown editor:

Joplin Plugins - Rich Markdown

Joplin Plugins - Context Utils

Either of these will provide context menu options for Copy Image, Open resource, and Reveal resource in folder

Rich text editor

This will allow you to edit the rich text without seeing any of the markdown formatting (e.g. images will display without seeing the image embed syntax). The rich text editor also has context menu options for Copy image, etc... when right clicking on images
