Markdown image links saved on the pinboard are URL-encoded

H

Hello,

When I save the following Markdown image link to the pinboard, it gets saved as a “link.”

When I paste it from the saved pinboard, it becomes URL-encoded, which is causing me trouble.

In my environment, it seems that this URL encoding is performed the moment it is saved to the pinboard as a “link.”

However, when I use from the clipboard instead of the pinboard, it’s treated as “text” and isn’t URL-encoded. This is the behavior I expect.

It would be great if there was an option to “URL-encode/not URL-encode” when saving to the pinboard. (Personally, I’d prefer that no unnecessary conversions are performed automatically.)

Thank you for your consideration.
