Proactively cache images/pictures/photos on mobile for offline use

Currently the mobile app has limited access to images when offline. We should adapt the mobile app so it proactively seeks & stores the image data for all images (including within Rich Footnotes) that reside in notes that have been changed within the past at least 6, maybe up to 12, months.

I could imagine that storing all bytes of all images in a 10k notes account could add up to gigabytes of space consumed, which could become an undesirable tradeoff. Thus my time-limited aspirations.

Bonus points if we can store bytes for videos too, at least those present in notes changed within the last 6 months.

I am now starting to bump my head against the lack (or unpredictability) of Offline support on both Mobile and Desktop - and finding myself putting some notes in Onenote ( :-( ) just so that I can have them available offline. This is not really the solution - If Amplenote does not have explicit offline support in the pipeline (eg a tag that guarantees offline backup), I will have to reconsider.

Gotta say I've been happy with amplenote but it's pretty disappointing that locally saved pictures from my phone that were uploaded to a note can't be viewed when offline. I was planning on using this platform in areas I won't have cell service and learned the hard I can't view photos in the field. This would be a feature that would keep me subscribed to the service. Your support page "Working Offline in Amplenote" omits this feature not being available when offline.

I am setting up a new tablet before travelling, and again bumping my head against "downloading 10000 notes". Forces me to move personal information and travel documents to OneNote instead. DO NOT try to do this for a whole library! All you need is to be able to mark a tag for 'always offline' so that you can force those notes along with their digital assets offlne.

I do not understand this obsession of product managers to come up with algorithms that try to think for the user! The "last n time" is also limiting! Just let the user decide with a tag!!

PS this is basically forcing me to take a whole lot of my more formal 'personal notes' into OneNote, which really is not ideal. I was hoping Amplenote could replace Evernote and OneNote, but without control of offline content, it can't - I guess same applies to many Evernote expats.
