Dragging and dropping a note => {./relative_path_to_dropped_note.txt}

Completed

This is really a question: If I have unchecked the Preference control "Drop text as WikiLinks" (under the "Advanced Settings" section of the General tab of Preferences), dragging a note from the file pane into the body of another note results in: `{./relative_path_to_dropped_note.txt}`

Is there a reason for this, or an explanation for what that syntax means?

 

Thanks!

  Sorry for missing this -- It's actually `{{foo}}` not `{foo}` and that is the MultiMarkdown syntax for file transclusion.

  I see — thanks! I would love an option to create a Markdown link to the file instead of either: `[filename](file:///path/to/filename.ext]`

  It does that for non-text files (e.g. images, etc.) on the assumption you want a link.  Otherwise the assumption is that you would want to transclude a plain text file, not link to it (since you would normally link to HMTL and not plain text.)
