[FR] Different settings for different folder

[Mara-Li]

It will be cool if we could add the option to add "override folder". For example, if an attachment is send in a specific folder, the processing will be different.

Use case :

• I have some note that handle all illustration reference for my characters.
• To facilitate search, I created an attachment folder (named Illustration) next to this folder.
• With these options, I just send the image in my folder note “Illustration” (with the MD path Reference/Char 10/Illustration.md and the file will be sent to Reference/Char 10/Illustration/Image.png

For the moment, I need to rename/move the image each time, and it's pretty unconvenient.

I also need to keep my _assets folder for attachment I don't need to move

Tks for your suggestion 😃

Look like you want a special option (no globaly) to set the attachment path of a note or notes under a folder, right? That's a good idea to manage attachment more flexiblely.

I will try to develop this feature in next version.

Thanks! <3

It seems that the plugin crash the renaming if the destination path (folder) already exists. Also, the console log seems wrong with overriding.

Note : In my test My file have the same name of the folder, so the only difference in their filepath is the extension So I try to use : Root folder : 20. REFERENCES/22. Personnages/Ashling May/Illustration Attachment path : ${notename} (ie : Illustration here) Attachment format : ${notename}-${date}

The plugin seems to check with using the path without the filename, so it brokes in my settings (folder note)

I tried a lot of settings/option and can't get the settings I want :(

It seems it doesn't take the overriding settings…

[trganda]

Yes, this plugin has no increment number for duplicate files right now (as you mentioned in [BUG] Image name are not incremented) In my original plan, it will be implement after the override setting, but I have ignored some use cases and lead this problem.

And after review my code, I have found more problem. I will fix these bugs as soon as possible. :)

[trganda]

I rewrited some code and make the override setting work. For the duplicate files problem will processing in a new pull request.

For the override setting, I have tried to test some use case:

• [x] The priority of overriding setting
• [x] Update overriding setting data on rename a folder or file
• [x] After set overriding setting, paste or drop file to notes, then try to rename the folder or file

I hope this can make this feature working as expected.

I will try it ! Thanks :D

[Mara-Li]

THANKS! Works as expected now.

As I know a little in the dev of Obsidian Plugin, I made some update (notably checkCallback for commands). I will made a PR in your Prod branch!

[trganda]

Happy to hear that! And PR are welcome, I'wll merge this PR first.
