PLATFORM: Anki Desktop (Windows)

ISSUE:  
When pasting an image into a field using the Browse tool, I am able to  
a) Click it once to get it to say “double-click to expand”  
(dotted line around image)  
b) Double-click it to get into what I call “scale” mode.  
(dotted line around image with dots at the corners to allow drag-scaling)  
This seems to not work for smaller images say around 125x125 or less.  
It was suggested to me on a Reddit forum that small images are all ready at  
their original size and are being prevented to scale by this feature.

I found, through experimentation, that if the _data-editor-shrink=“false”_ attribute is included in the HTML, then even these small images will scale.

Is there a way that I can create an HTML “template” that Anki can use every time I paste in an image and I don’t manually have to edit the HTML on every image?

Such as  
\<img src=\<filename\> _data-editor-shrink=“false”_\>

Or is there an easier/better way to do this ?
