Download pictures to local

[jinsen711]

Can the images in the web page be automatically downloaded when saving the web page? I am using the "Custom Attachment Location" plug-in to manage the image files in each markdown in obsidian.

Not yet, but there is a plugin called Local Images that can do this for you.

Hi, is it working automatically or you have to confirm each time?

+1! Great to have the option to determine if using local images or online images.

It not work everywherel. Because some image you could see on the brower which has full refrence even cookie from page, the CDN will not block the request. but when you capture it to the Obsidian ,it will not.
So may be need get the image from the Brower's cache or download from Brower

May I ask if there is any plan to make it a new feature?

[kepano]

Yes but it will require changes to Obsidian URI, so it will take some time.

I have the plugin "Local Images Plus" installed, When I use Web Clipper to save the web page with pictures, the pictures are not download to local.
but I use "MarkDownload - Markdown Web Clipper" to save the same page, the pictures are download to local.

I just tested base64-encoded images and Obsidian renders them.

Would it be possible to add this as an option? I'm not sure how difficult it is to extract images from the page, but inserting the image in base64 format into Obsidian should be pretty easy to implement.

Storing the images as base64 is not a good solution. It will lead to Markdown files that are multiple megabytes which hinders the performance of Markdown parsing and will cause syncing issues.

So I just downloaded obsidian web clipper but I missing this function aswell.
My problem is that Local Images plugin cant download pictures if the site requires authorization, but web clipper could.

Yes but it will require changes to Obsidian URI, so it will take some time.

Is there an ETA for it?

Thank you!

+1 for this feature. I just tested the plugin and , after appearance, attachment location was the second thing I checked. I download a lot of wiki pages with instructions and screenshots of what the app or screen output should look like mixed in with the instructions, so if the image link ever breaks , then I'll have a lot of blank areas in my note.

e.g.

5. Type this command. If the output doesn't look like the below screenshot, then return to previous step.

Otherwise I really like the plugin. I still need to figure out how to tell it which vault clippings should go into, but I only just installed it and have read zero documentation. The attachments concern sidetracked me from that!

Local images are a must. For privacy, offline use and future-proofing.
