Bug Description

When I’m migrating from Windows to Linux, all pictures are unavailable because appflowy by default uses absolute path, and the directory structures are different in Windows and Linux.

How to Reproduce

Please consider providing an option to insert images with relative/absolute path, and default to relative path format.

Operating System

win10 , archlinux

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.8.7

Is this for local/anonymous mode, or AppFlowy Cloud?
