The preview window cannot display images from the local disk (outside the note library)

What issue do you have?

Why is it that in Joplin version 3.3.12, images from the local disk (outside the note library) cannot be displayed in the preview window of the column view, but it can be achieved in version 3.0.15?
Column view refers to an interface with the markdown editor on the left and the preview window on the right.
Usage scenario: Need to manage a large number of attachments but do not want to store them in resources files.
The syntax used is as follows:

[<img src="file:///D:/attachments/123.jpg" alt="Describe the content of the image" width="500">](file:///D:/attachments/123.jpg)

In Joplin 3.2.x and 3.3.x, file:// URLs must be enabled in "settings" > "Markdown" > "file:// URLs for images and videos".

Thank you very much for your answer.

Although I enabled 'file://protocol based image and video URLs (compatible with WYSIWYG editor: Yes)' in 'Settings>Markdown', I still cannot preview images.
I confirm that the image exists and the path is correct.

Thank you for checking!

This should be fixed by Windows: Fix "file://" URLs setting does not allow loading local images by personalizedrefrigerator · Pull Request #12281 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub.
