How can I embed an image that is already in Anytype?

[raph]

I uploaded an image in an object through the /picture command. I would like to embed that same image in a different object without re-uploading it. How can I do that?

You could duplicate, or copy and page the block. I could not find a way to reference the image via the / slash menu.

This worked, thank you! A small typo in your message (copy and page) took me a bit to understand

We can’t for now but it can be a good Feature Request.
You can link image to your page(object) but it’s only a link…

There is an FR for use image in AT for cover.

Something like…

… this one (only for cover, but similar idea of reuse images elsewhere) :

Ability to select object as cover/icon

Does the minimum 1000px rule, also apply to Icons? Most Icons that are uploaded (from my experience, at least ) are seldom that large.

… or this one, more global ?

Support reuse of uploaded images/pictures

Part of what you ask is already possible! They already took the first step with cover images! Click change cover, then click the tab Library and there you find all your uploaded images in Anytype to add as cover! You can even search! [image] I have no source to link at this moment but I remember them reply-ing on this forum that this feature will be added to other places like you request! Edit: Well I am not awake haha. The original request is over a year old and I thought and replied…

Here my view
the only thing that missing is “rename”.
images are already a type of object in our vault, but we can’t change their name. Since most of the time, images are named randomly, reusing them without renaming will be impossible.
I highly recommand dev team go check two addons in obsidian, attachment management and awesome image. their approach could a solution to anytype
