[QUESTION] Is there a way to include subfolder in the file location? #14

Closed lduperval closed 7 months ago

lduperval commented 7 months ago

Hi,

Is there a way to include the subfolder in the name of the file for compatibility purposes? For examples, if I ask to put the file in the "images" subfolder, the file is stored there but the Markdown does not include the subfolder name. So if I open the file in a different app, the contnt is missing.

Thanks,

L

Just for clarification, lets assume if I drop "image.jpg" into note called "MySampleNote.md":

Various options for file renaming are in the roadmap, although can't provide exact date right now

HI,

No, not quite.

If I have an image called: doctor-listening-to-patient-heart.jpg

I want the file to be named

images/doctor-listening-to-patient-heart-YYYYMMDD.webp

where YYYYMMDD is not necessarily important. But the doctor-listineng-to-patient part is because it contains semantic information.

Thanks for the clarification. Should be possible to implement this, although not sure about forward slash “/”, Obsidian doesnt allow certain special characters to be used in the name e.g “/\:” are not allowed, hence most likely would need to use “-” or “underscore” instead.

Gonna have to investigate it further

Actually, the "images/" is not part of the name. It's the folder specified in the config. It could be anything.

Thanks!

I think I finally got it 😅

doctor-listening-to-patient-heart.jpg ↓ doctor-listening-to-patient-heart.webp

  1. To preserve the original name you can simply turn off: Auto rename
  2. If images/ doesn't have to be in the name, you can put the image into images/ subfolder via: a) "Output" -> "In the folder specified below:" then type in "/images". This will allow you to store all images inside this folder, regardless in which note they are located. b) "Output" -> "In subfolder under current folder" then type in "/images". If you have many folders in Obsidian, and each folder represents a category/project, then this option might be great for you. It will create a subfolder under current note, or if the note is inside the folder, then it will create subfolder inside this folder. Thus essentially allowing your images to follow your "projects".

Oh, that's simpler than I thought! Thanks!

Hi again,

I have another question. Above you say that if "images/" doesn't have to be in the name I have a couple of options. But what if I do want "images" to be part of the name (which is what I want for compatibility with other editors)?

Thanks!
