Config Example

I use vscode to edit my hexo blog. The folder struct like this:

blog/source/_posts  (articles)
blog/source/img     (images)

I want to save all image in blog/source/img, and insert image url to article. And hexo will generate blog/source/ as the website root, so the image url shoud be like /img/xxx.png. So I can config pasteImage in blog/.vscode/setting.json like this:

"pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/source/img",
"pasteImage.basePath": "${projectRoot}/source",
"pasteImage.forceUnixStyleSeparator": true,
"pasteImage.prefix": "/"

Format

File name format

If you selected some text in editor, then extension will use it as the image file name. The selected text can be a sub path like subFolder/subFolder2/nameYouWant.

If not the image will be saved in this format: "Y-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss.png".

File link format

When you editing a markdown, it will pasted as markdown image link format ![](imagePath).

When you editing a asciidoc, it will pasted as asciidoc image link format image::imagePath[].

In other file, it just paste the image's path.
