Usage

Just copy any web content, Word/Open Office content and paste it into your regular note or a note in canvas.

Starting from version 0.15.0 the plugin also handles all attachments (screenshots/drag-and-drop for files/audio records).

Use it in the command/menu mode or in automatic mode (toggle "Automatic processing" option in the settings):

Localize attachments for the current note (plugin folder) - your active note will be processed and attachments will be saved in the folder preconfigured in the plugin settings.

Localize attachments for the current note (Obsidian folder) - your active note will be processed and attachments will be saved in the folder preconfigured in the Obsidian settings.

Localize attachments for all your notes (plugin folder) - will be processed all the pages in your vault, that corresponds to Include parameter in the plugin's settings and attachments will be saved in the folder(s) preconfigured in the plugin settings.

NOTE: This plugin can change all your notes at once, so you should consider doing backups of your files periodically.

You can also insert any file e.g:

![mypdf](http://mysite/mypdf.pdf)

![mylocalfile](file:///mylinuxdisk/mysong.mp3)

Files will be copied or downloaded to your attachments folder.

NOTE: I would not recommend to use this plugin for copying really big files, since buffered reading from disk not implemented yet.

Starting from version 0.15.6 the plugin also allows you to remove unused attachments by running commands:

Remove all orphaned attachments (Plugin folder)

and

Remove all orphaned attachments (Obsidian folder)

The first one searches orphans in the folder next to the active note, while the second one searches all unused attachments for all your notes. (this requires you to set some root subfolder in Obsidian settings)

Starting from version 0.14.5 attachment names are generated according to MD5, therefore they are pretty unique within the vault.

This means you can place an attachment file anywhere within your vault, replace the absolute path in a tag with the file name and Obsidian will still show it in your note.
