I can confirm this issue in Zim 0.27. I have seen this issue mentioned before (mailing list maybe), and I thought this was a dupe but could not find a previous bug. So at least three people are having this issue. |

Needs a little more input on when / how to do this. I can also imagine a valid use case where you want to have the same equation in multiple places and keep the link instead of repeating them.
There is a similar case for images. If I copy an image to a different page, right click it to open with gimp, edit and save, what should be the behavior ? Currently both pages link to the same page and will show the editing.
Maybe, when you click edit we should detect that it is used in multiple pages and popup asking whether you want to edit all occurences or just this one. (This effectively implements a kind of copy-on-write scheme.) Problem there is that you do not know if the external program that is started is an editor or not.
Now the behavior for equations may be different, but since the implementation between equations and images is very similar I would like a general strategy on how to deal with external objects in copy operations.
Input is welcome. |

If you put it like that I have to agree.
I would then propose to do this for all "embedded" object (i.e. images and equations). Clearly for external files that are linked we should copy the link. Not sure for attachments that are linked (e.g. a pdf attached to a page) do we copy there or just preserve the link ?
I think this ties in to another bug about management of attachments. |

Please make equations copy-on-write |
Equation and image files should be copied when the object is copied in the text |
