Hi all,
Discovered that I could embed images into dataview and have been changing up a bunch of my index pages excitedly.
It works great with my gear list:
> [!tip] Gear list
> ```dataview
> TABLE
>regexreplace(file.folder, ".*\/([^\/]+)$", "$1") AS "Department",
> shows AS "Shows",
>embed(link(image, "125")) AS Image
> FROM "Knowledgebase/Video Production/On-Set/Equipment"
> sort file.mday desc
> ```
At the top of each 'Equipment' note I have the variables:
category:: Lighting
shows:: [[Show Name 1]],[[Show Name 2]]
image:: [[MoonLite by LumenRadio-1689061964287.jpeg]]
That works entirely as expected - I get a snazzy list of images down the dataview for each item.
However, it doesn't work in this dataview, which is slightly different in the sense that it groups by 'type' - but even without the group-by clause it doesn't work:
> [!Example] Devices
> ```dataview
> TABLE
> rows.file.link AS "Title",
> embed(link(rows.file.image, "250")) AS Image
> FROM "Journal/Entities/Devices"
> WHERE type
> GROUP BY type
> SORT type DESC
> ```
With these notes having these variables:
type:: Server
image:: [[Pasted image 20221026215500.png]]
I thought 'rows.file.image' is how I'd access the image this time around, but unfortunately not.
This works, but not when I try to group them and bring in information using rows.file.

> ```dataview
> TABLE
> embed(link(image, "250")) AS Image
> FROM "Journal/Entities/Devices"
> WHERE type
> SORT type DESC
> ```
Any thoughts?
There is a plugin called gpgCrypt that might do full vault encryption (no idea how well it works) but it does mention that Obsidian's cache of notes will still be unencrypted on disk.
