I raised this at the beta stage but it is still an issue and I think it is important that everybody understands it.
If you copy and paste an image from a website into a note you would expect that image to be in your note wouldn't you. Wrong. All EN does is copy and paste a link to the image. This means:
If the image is removed or changed on the website it will be removed from or changed in your note
You cannot annotate the image - the option is simply not there
The image does not show up as a thumbnail in the snippet or card view
You can't download the image (because it's not there)
To me this is a serious breach of the trust we have put in EN to safely store our data.If we knowingly add a link we know the webpage it links to can be changed. If we copy and paste content into our notes we expect it to be safe. As far as I can see webclipped images and images added as files are OK so it is just copying and pasting images from the web.
