Add support for EXCLUDING attachment extensions #36

Closed situfang closed 6 months ago

situfang commented 8 months ago

Great plugin. Being able to configure attachment extensions that need to be cleaned is a nice feature. From the perspective of my usage, I would like to clean up all useless extensions (configure ".*" directly), but exclude specified suffix names, such as .mdenc (which is used by another encryption plug-in and should not be cleaned up). Thank you!

Hm, so if I understand you correctly, you'd like inverse matching.

F.ex if you have the following files:

file.md
file.jpg
file.png
file.pdf
file.mdenc

And you set your filter to be:

.md
.mdenc

You want it to all files except .mdand .mdenc to removed?

So that the remaining files should be:

file.md
file.mdenc

Yes, that's basically what I expected. But it would be more reasonable not to clean up the .md file for the plugin. I think .md does not need to be configured here, otherwise the user may delete them by mistake.

Thanks for the feedback. The only reason why the markdown files would be cleaned up is if they are empty so they wouldn't be removed by mistake :)

I'll have a look at how to implement it and get back to you when it's ready.

Hey @situfang, just a heads up that I've implemented this and it will be part of v0.9.0 releasing soon. This issue will be closed automatically when the PR has been merged.
