Obsidian Attachmenter

Overview

A comprehensive Obsidian plugin designed to streamline attachment management. It enforces a per-note attachment folder structure, keeping your vault organized. Key capabilities include automatically moving pasted images to the correct folder, downloading remote images (including from Canvas) to local storage, and providing tools to check and repair broken attachment paths or clean up empty folders. It supports multiple languages and integrates seamlessly with Obsidian's file explorer.
