obsidian attachment plugin

$ rule-based attachment placement for Obsidian.md

overview maintained

Obsidian gives you one global folder for all attachments. This is fine for small vaults, but becomes painful once your vault grows into multiple structured sections. This plugin lets you define placement rules per folder so pasted and dropped files land where they belong, automatically.

Built out of personal frustration, published to the Obsidian community plugin list, and aimed at anyone who keeps a large structured vault.
