Unclear When Claude Code uses the note instead of showing the image is not clear.
What
When you paste an image, Claude Code saves a copy to disk. That copy is now different in a few ways:
It goes into a tmp folder inside the job's folder.
Its name is pasted-<sha12>.<ext>, built from a short fingerprint of the image's contents, instead of from the paste's own number. The same image pasted twice gets the same name.
Saving is retried if it fails, and the saved file is checked afterwards.
There is also a new way of handing the image on: instead of showing it, Claude Code can insert a note reading "[Image not shown, read it from ...]" followed by where the file was saved.
Why
The saved file's location and name format are different, and an identical image no longer gets a fresh copy each time it is pasted.
