Local Images missing from post

[doughgle]

Problem statement
Local images don't appear in the medium post.
Alt text is there where the image should be.
Captions are also missing.

Acknowledge that this is an unimplemented feature. I also acknowledge that Medium are no longer supporting the public API.
However, the API is still there, in particular the images API.
This article describes a solution (using Python) that might be repeatable for post-to-medium-action.

I've never written a line of C#, but if there's interest in the enhancement, I could give it a try (with some guidance).

Hey Doughgle,

Thanks for opening this issue!

Local images are indeed completely ignored. For our use-case this was fine. I don't have a lot of time to pick this up at this moment, but this is definitely a good feature to add.

For now, please follow this advice we use for our blogs:

• Any image references should be using a public link for now. Medium will automatically pick them up and convert them when needed. A public link can be an image of a service like Imgur.

If you really need the local images, you could try to create a PR. If you don't necessarily need local images, you are best off using the image references like described above.
