Obsidian File & Link Settings still active

[WannabeTechWarrior]

First thank you for the plugin I think it is a great idea.

Now I installed it and these are my settings:

Files & Links Settings from Obsidian itself

Attachement Managament (the plugin)

Also I restarted Obsidian once, I didn't restart my computer thought.

I don't know maybe I set up something wrong,.
So the folder are generetated like that:
Attachements/${filename}/
But the copy pasted picture is not landing inside that folder, it's always going there where the Files & Links settings are set.
I tried to not copy the Obsidian settings too but there was the same problem.

Does somebody maybe know where I made the mistake?

Thanks have a nice day

I have copy your setting and tested on my pc, it's working.

If you notes was placed in folder test with name Untitled, after paste image file it should be placed in test/Attachements/Untitled/xxx.png

As your description, your pasted image file was placed in test/Attachements , not test/Attachements/Untitled right?

I'm not sure where is the problem, have you tried the deault setting of this plugin?

Hey @trganda

Thank you for your fast reply.

Ok I tried it again with the default settings and then I played arround a little and now with this settings
Attachment path: ${notepath}/Attachments/${notename}

it's like this
I can create a new note
The first time I paste an image in this note this happens

The folder gets created, but the image is nowhere to be found, it don't get safed.

After this I can paste a second picture into the file:

And then the picture is in the wanted folder with the name -1 (the third picture would be -2 and so on)

So I opened a sandbox vault and there it worked.

Maybe this plugin is not working together with one of my previous installed one?
Or is it another setting of my vault maybe?

Anyway I will use your plugin and to the last move manually.
When I can help you somehow to erase that bug let me know, I will try.

I will send you my last try at the end

List of plugins:

My wanted settings in the sandbox vault

With the default settings, the renaming process is working with the -1. -2 ....
and when I set the img-${date} inside then the pasted image isn't going into the wanted folder but is named correctly

[trganda]

Have you only enabled this plugin in sandbox right?

The pasted image has been renamed to .png, -1.png ... because the setting was empty, the content in the input box was only a place holder

when you first time install this plugin, the default setting should as below

If you delete the content in the input box, the seting has been empyt, you can check the data.json file in your <you vault folder>/.obsidian/plugins/attachment-management/data.json (this file will not exists until you change the setting).

As you wanted setting (If only enabled this plugin), the data.json and app.json (obsidian setting file <you vault folder>/.obsidian/app.json) should be like this and it's work on my pc

{
  "attachPath": {
    "attachmentRoot": "",
    "saveAttE": "obsFolder",
    "attachmentPath": "${notename}",
    "attachFormat": "IMG-${date}",
    "type": "GLOBAL"
  },
  "dateFormat": "YYYYMMDDHHmmssSSS",
  "excludeExtensionPattern": "pdf",
  "autoRenameAttachment": false,
  "excludedPaths": "",
  "excludePathsArray": [],
  "excludeSubpaths": false,
  "overridePath": {}
}

app.json

{
  "alwaysUpdateLinks": true,
  "attachmentFolderPath": "./Attachments",
  "showUnsupportedFiles": true,
  "newLinkFormat": "absolute"
}

If this was still not working in your sandbox vault, I will try to find this bug with other plugins that you supplied.

[WannabeTechWarrior]

Yes in the sandbox vault I only downloaded this plugin and nothing else. There everything is working fine and there is no problem.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Only on my normal vault it's not working.
But I looked up app.json and in my normal vault the settings are these:

[WannabeTechWarrior]

Hey @trganda Thank you a lot for your effort.
You encouraged me for still trying everything and not giving up.

But I am really sorry to tell you that every thing is fine now because I reinstalled (I think it's that) the plugin.

Sorry for wasting your time but I appreciate your help and will use your plugin

[trganda]

Happy to hear that. :)
