Fast External Embed 1.1.0

New: progressive lazy PDF rendering with full viewer controls

• Large PDFs now render page-by-page as pages approach the visible area, without waiting for the complete file to download.
• HTTP byte-range support via a loopback-only local server; tested with a 372 MB / 331-page scanned PDF where page 50 rendered after reading only ~1.3% of the file.
• PDF toolbar with page navigation, zoom controls, and visible-page rendering.
• Pages far from the current scroll position are automatically evicted to limit memory.
• External local wiki links open with the system default application.
• Supports size parameters via alt text and URL fragments.

Fast External Embed 1.0.6

New: open external local files through normal wiki links

You can now link to vault-external local files without embedding them:

[[C:/path/to/file.pdf]]
[[C:/path/to/file.pdf|Open local PDF]]

• Opens the file with the Windows default application.
• Prevents Obsidian from creating an empty vault note for an absolute path.
• Supports Windows absolute paths, file:/// URLs, and Unix absolute paths.
• Works in both Reading View and Live Preview, including aliased wiki links.
• Correctly handles # occurring in ordinary directory names such as C:/#Self/....
