Bug

During conversion, it fails to rename the reference of each image found.
It successfully creates & moves the images, but when renaming the references in markdown, the script fails for EVERY picture. (drawings as well)

Expectation

Renaming the file references should work, considering the files were moved properly.

Discussion

I renamed my username and the name of the Notebook for privacy purposes. The format stayed the same though, just used a different name for both.

Here is a sample output of the script: (it throws a lot of errors because of the amount of images)

Here is a sample from the converted markdown file, containing a reference, which can't be renamed:
