Feature request: configurable name and location of the extracted-images folder

[Tomgankz]

Thanks for the plugin, conversion quality is great.

One thing we really need: control over the folder the extracted images go to. Today it is always " attachments/" next to the note (src/main.ts, assetSink), with no setting.

Our vault convention is a fixed folder "XAttachment/" inside the note's directory (also what Obsidian's "Default location for new attachments" = "In subfolder under current folder" gives us for pasted images). With the plugin, every conversion creates a new folder that we move by hand. The bare embeds survive the move, so nothing breaks, but it is a manual step on every single file.

Request: two settings in the plugin

1. "Attachments folder name": a free text, e.g. "XAttachment". Placeholders would be a nice bonus ({{note}} for the note basename, so the current "{{note}} attachments" could stay the default).
2. "Attachments folder location", relative to the converted note: e.g. "same folder as the note" (a subfolder next to it, the current behaviour), a relative path like "../assets", or a vault-absolute path.

Alternatively or in addition: an option "Use Obsidian's attachment setting" that calls app.fileManager.getAvailablePathForAttachment(name, notePath), so the plugin behaves exactly like paste/drag-and-drop in Obsidian. For us that alone would already do, but the two explicit settings would cover vaults with other conventions as well.

We are evaluating the plugin for a team-wide rollout, and this is the one gap left. Happy to test a pre-release and to report back.

Thanks for the clear write-up. The per-setting breakdown made this easy to build.

This is in 0.4.0. Two ways to get your setup:

1. Follow Obsidian's setting: Settings → Convert to Markdown → Save images → Where Obsidian puts attachments. With your "In subfolder under current folder" → XAttachment, converted images now land exactly where pasted ones do.
2. Set it in the plugin: leave Save images on In the folder set below and set Image folder to XAttachment. The field is a path relative to the converted note: {{note}} is the note's name (the default is still {{note}} attachments), ../assets goes up a level, and a leading slash like /Assets/{{note}} starts from the vault root.

Several notes can share one folder. An image that's already there is linked, not written twice.

One behaviour change worth flagging for your rollout: converting an image file (e.g. a screenshot) now moves it into that folder instead of copying it, so it isn't in the vault twice. The move goes through Obsidian, so existing links to it keep working.

Since you offered to test: I'd be glad to hear how it behaves across your team's vaults, especially anything that doesn't match how paste/drag-and-drop places files.

Thanks a lot for the quick turnaround, this is fantastic! Both options cover exactly what we need, and having the "follow Obsidian's setting" option on top is a really nice touch. Thanks also for flagging the move-instead-of-copy change for image files; that's good to know before a rollout.

Honestly, the plugin is genuinely great. The conversion quality was already the main reason we looked at it, and with this gap closed it's an easy recommendation for the team.

Quick heads-up: I'm on vacation for the next four weeks, so there'll be a bit of silence from my side. Once I'm back, I'll test 0.4.0 across our team's vaults and report back, especially anything that doesn't line up with how paste/drag-and-drop places files.

Thanks again, really appreciate the work you put into this!
