MDZip 0.1.0

First release of MDZip for Obsidian: open and edit .mdz (MDZip) archives, which hold Markdown documents and their images in one file.

What it does

• Opens .mdz files in the editor, including archives with many documents and folders, with their images shown in place.
• An Archive contents pane to browse, add, rename, move and delete documents and folders, with a search box for the open archive.
• MDZip search across every archive in the vault, and a links panel showing what links to and from an archive.
• Paste or drop images straight into an archive. Pasting an image into a plain note can convert the note to an .mdz.
• Links from your notes into an archive keep working when the archive is renamed or moved.
• Archive documents show up in the graph, including filters and color groups.

Install

Download mdzip-0.1.0.zip, extract it, and copy the mdzip folder into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ folder. Reload Obsidian and turn on MDZip under Settings → Community plugins. You can also put main.js, manifest.json and styles.css together in .obsidian/plugins/mdzip/.

Requires Obsidian 1.14.5 or later. Tested on Windows and Android.

Known limitations

• Obsidian's own search, backlinks, outline and link autocomplete don't see documents inside an archive. MDZip search and the links panel cover them.
• Links from notes into an archive are updated when the archive is renamed or moved, but not when a document inside the archive is moved.
