Thanks for the report -

Just to clarify, you have a directory called #img? If you encode the # with %23 does that work? E.g. ![alt-text](%23img/my_image.png).

If you encode the # with %23 does that work?

Ah, yes, encoding it this way actually works.

But I noticed it when '#' was outside my relative path. My link simply was img/my_img.png
So in order to make it work I'd have insert something like /C:/Users/name/Desktop/%23some_path/md/img\my_image.png – which is messy and inconvenient and will break if I move my directory elsewhere.

Is it still a bug?
