Dragging PDF into markdown creates image link

DEVONthink

When I drag and drop a markdown item or a group from list view into a markdown document I get an item-link. That is great and works as I want it.

When I drag and drop a PDF+Text item from list view into the markdown document, I get an image link of the form: ![filename.pdf](file:///path/to/file/filename.pdf)

I would like to get an item-link in this case as well. (Replicating the “Copy Item Link” behavior from the context menu and paste it.)

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.

  • What OS and version of DEVONthink?
  • Are you indexing instead of importing?

Sequioa and DEVONthink 4.2.

I am indexing nearly all files, but tested it with a pdf in the database with the same result.

By default pictures & PDF documents are embedded like that via drag & drop. Just use Command-Option-drag & drop instead. P.S: Control-drag & drop inserts the Transclusion syntax.
