Create note with 2 local images

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

The following script uses 2 images from a website, puts their URL into HTML and then creates a Notes file showing the two images. All working fine.

The same 2 images are also saved to my Mac and I want to create the exact same Notes file in the same way but using the saved images instead of the website URL.

This is part of a bigger problem that I am stuck with but can someone please help me with the format of the second example of LstImageURL to get it working.

Thanks.

-- ** Website picked at random for example purposes **

set LstImages to {}

-- Working
set LstImageURL to {"https://cccbr.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/howdenMinsterBells.jpg", "https://cccbr.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/whitechapel-handbells.jpg"}

-- Not Working
--set LstImageURL to {"Macintosh HD:Users:Myname:Images:howdenMinsterBells.jpg", "Macintosh HD:Users:Myname:Images:whitechapel-handbells.jpg"}

repeat with i from 1 to length of LstImageURL
	set ImageURL to "<img src=\"" & item i of LstImageURL & "\"<p><p>"
	copy ImageURL to the end of LstImages
end repeat

set ReportImages to items of LstImages


tell application "Notes"
	set the noteBody to "<html>
<p><span style=\"color:#FF0000\">Pictures: </span>
<p>" & ReportImages & "
<p><span style=\"color:#FF0000\">End of Pictures: </span>
</html>"
	
	set thisAccountName to "My name" -- For testing (images appear immediately in the note)
	--set thisAccountName to "Icloud" -- (Sometimes a delay for the images to appear) 
	
	-- make a new note at the top application-level:
	make new note at folder "Notes" of account thisAccountName with properties {body:noteBody}
end tell

noteBody

I’m assuming that the image URLs must be unix URL, not Mac HFS Paths

set LstImageURL to {"file:///Users/Myname/Images/howdenMinsterBells.jpg", "file:///Users/Myname/Images/whitechapel-handbells.jpg"}

Sorry but no joy with that. I just get the text only:

Pictures:

End of Pictures:

I don’t fully understand that but the files are saved on my Mac here…

Macintosh HD:Users:Myname:Images:howdenMinsterBells.jpg
(or /Users/Myname/Images/howdenMinsterBells.jpg)

Fredrik71 - Thanks for your work on this but regrettably, I am no further forward here. I don’t really understand much of the information at the links but the 2 Scriptlets you supplied seem to just produce the same format that robertfern suggested

That just gives me the text only (no images):

I’m afraid that I am still stumped!

It is just a way the Notes.app works.

To add the local image file’s content, @Fredrik71 and me already shown to you how to embed the picture into the note, using Base64 picture encoding, or using make new attachment command.
