Inline images disappearing

[PeterG]

Describe the bug

Inline images disappear from objects. This seems to happen specifically when an object is loaded from disk rather than from memory.

To Reproduce

• 1. Add an image inline to an object.
• 2. Quit Anytype
• 3. Start Anytype
• 4. Go to object
• 5. Observe that inline image is missing.

Expected behavior

Inline image should be preserved in object saved to disk.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Big Sur
• Device: MacBook Pro
• Version: 0.18.59

Other details

Restoring from past versions does not bring images back. This appears to be an issue with how objects with inline images are saved to disk.

@PeterG Hi! Sorry for the long answer! Can you record a video on how to reproduce this, because I can’t

[PeterG]

Hi all, thank you, I will record a video when I get home.

In the meantime, I was able to find a bit more specificity to the bug. It only happens when there is a column layout. If the image is the only block in a row, it saves fine. If there is an image next to a block of text, however, the image disappears on quit and reload.

[Kirill_Lem]

I can repeat neither the first way nor the second way. Await for a record

I could replicate the issue using the instructions from the reply @PeterG. See attached video

Version: 0.18.68

OS: Ubuntu

Thanks @lorenztiel , you beat me to the video! The behavior I’m seeing is identical to yours. Single images work fine, images in columns disappear.

This may be a mac-specific issue. Please let me know how/if I can help narrow reproducibility conditions further.

@lorenztiel @PeterG
Is this still happening in the current version?

[Flip]

I worked with several images in the last weeks and this doesn’t happen to me. Therefore I’m going to mark this as solved. Please create a new topic, when needed.
