Bug Description

I am a windows 10 user 64bit user. Till the version 0.65 there was no problem. From version 0.66 this problem appeared. In version 0.67 it was solved. But after recent windows 10 creator update it appeared.
The images that were inserted in version 0.65 they are still visible without any trouble. When I inserted new image it becomes visible.I saved the document. So far so good. But if I switch to new tab or I close the zim and reopen I can only see a small box with a cross in it. The image is not visible. Right clicking on that box and opening the edit properties shows that file location is there. But the width and height is showing 0 and both options are greyed out.

This is I think a serious issue which makes the new versions unusable. So right now I am sticking to the 0.65 version.

Noticed this bug in 0.66 as well, on Win7, and it persists into 0.67 (also Win7). Poked around in a file where I'd linked a few images and think I've figured out what's off. (Fortunately for me I link few enough images that for the time being I'm willing to fix this manually on a per-case basis.)

1) Linking to an image in the same directory as the text results in {{..\image.jpg}} , for an example (and one that behaves properly in Zim).
2) Linking to an image in a different directory gives {{..\elsewhere\image.jpg}} , which results in a broken image link the moment you re/load the text in question in Zim.
3) Loading the text in another program and editing the link from example #2 to read {{..\..\elsewhere\image.jpg}} and saving before loading the text in Zim results in the image loading properly.
