how do i add a picture from my computer?

[DyNama]

i can't seem to put a pic from my own computer in a note. the markdown quick ref uses the example:
which hotlinks to an image on the web--this actually works. and when i use:
this works too, tho they may not like my hotlinking. but when i use:
i get nothing. no broken image marker, just nothing, blank. do i have the syntax wrong?

it also says i can use html. this works:
<img src="http://sparrowphoto.com/images/finger_pointing_l.jpg" />
but when i use:
<img src="C:/Users/DyNama/Pictures/Clip%20Art/pointing_finger-lt-sm.jpg" />
i get a broken image indicator. even with a simpler path:
<img src="N:/pointing_finger-lt-sm.jpg" />
i still get a broken image indicator.

what am i doing wrong?

You cannot just reference a file on your computer (for security
reasons), you have to upload it somewhere, e.g. https://imgur.com/.

huh, really? security? that doesn't make sense to me. it's a note to only me only on my computer! but that explains why i couldn't make it work. thanx!

Yes, the note only exists on your computer, but it is inserted into
the page. That means, the possibilities a note has are (more or less)
limited to what a website is allowed do. And websites cannot access
local files in your computer.

Maybe there is *some* way, as an add-on has more privileges, but I
don't know how (and there are other features/issues I'd consider as
more important at the moment, so I cannot spend time on this, sorry).
