Customize attachment location with variables($filename, $data, etc) like typora.

Features

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This plugin will overwrite the following two settings and restore them when the plugin is disabled.

  • "Files & Links -> New link format -> Relative path to file" for generating md links.

  • "Files & Links -> Default location for new attachments" for custom attachment folder.

How to use

Plugin Manager

  • Install via the Third Party plugins setting. Search for Custom Attachment location.
  • Activate the plugin in the settings.

Manual Install

  • Download main.js, manifest.json in the latest release.
  • Copy main.js, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-custom-attachment-location/.
  • Enable plugin in Obsidian setting.

Settings

  • Location for New Attachments

    • Same to "Files & Links -> Default location for new attachments".
    • ${filename} representing for current note filename.
    • Put "./" at the beginning of the path if you want to use relative path.
    • example: "assets/${filename}", "./assets/${filename}"
    • DO NOT start with "/" or end with "/"
    • (Wrong example: "/assets/${filename}/")

  • Pasted Image Name

    • ${filename} representing for current note filename. ${date} representing for current datetime in custom Date Format.
    • example: "image-${date}", "${filename}-img-${date}"
    • Obsidian default: "Pasted image YYYYMMDDHHmmss"
    • Note: This setting only changes image filename from clipboard. If your attachment is copied from the explorer, obsidian will just copy the original file to the attachment folder without renaming.

  • Date Format

    • Date format string for moment.js.
    • More info: Format
    • example: "YYYYMMDDHHmmssSSS".

  • Automatically rename attachment folder

    • Automatically update attachment folder name if "Location for New Attachments" contains ${filename}.

  • Automatically rename attachment files [Experimental]

    • Automatically update attachment files in target md file if "Pasted Image Name" contains ${filename}.
    • Just simply substitute ${filename} string in attachment filename. So it may be dangerous if multiple files share the same prefix.
