Is your feature related to a problem ?

No response

What solution do you want to see ?

Obsidian Github Publisher current uploads all the attachments into a single directory specified. If you have a lot of pages and images, this ends up being quite a mess on the GitHub repository side.
What would be more useful if I could configure the plugin to keep the Obsidian Path, similar how you can do so for the doc pages.

For example:

- index.md
- something/graphics.md
- something/graphics/image1.png
- something/graphics/image2.png

Instead of (with Obsidian Path for files):

- index.md
- something/graphics.md
- image1.png
- image2.png

I'd just like to keep the something/graphics directory for the images.

Describe the alternative you've considered

Currently I have to either give in and have every asset dumped into a single directory or what I actually do is disable the attachment upload altogether and manually manage those.

Windows

Anything else?

Love the plugin! 🙂

Sorry, I couldn't understand. You can set image path per file in the properties. And you could set the folder to something.

Could you elaborate?

[eXpl0it3r]

You can set image path per file in the properties.

In which properties?

I don't really want to define paths to use for each image or asset, instead I'd just want to use the folder structure it already has.

• Obsidian Vault:
  • MySite/something1/something 2/image1.png
  • MySite/something3/image2.png
• Setting attachment path to images, repo:
  • pages/images/image1.png
  • pages/images/image2.png
• What I want is to use the Obsidian path (with replacement rule for MySite), repo:
  • pages/something1/something 2/image1.png
  • pages/something3/image2.png

[Mara-Li]

Okay, I understand what you want 👍 !
I will work on it :)

[eXpl0it3r]

Oh that's awesome to hear! 😊

Btw. not sure where to report documentation issues, but the template link under the "Github actions & Obsidian's plugin" section is broken: https://obsidian-publisher.netlify.app/#github-actions-obsidians-plugin

[Mara-Li]

Ty ! 🍰 Fill fix it asap

[Mara-Li]

Fixed (there was a bug :'D) and featured in v6.9.0 (NICE) !

[eXpl0it3r]

Wow you're fast! 😲

Thanks a lot for this (nice 😉) release.

One thing that would be superduper on top is, to have a similar folder/filename replacement function like already exists for pages.

• Obsidian Vault:
  • Projects/MyProject/index.md
  • Projects/MyProject/category1/topic1.md
  • Projects/MyProject/category1/topic1/image1.png
  • Projects/MyProject/category1/topic1/image2.png
• Using the "Apply edit on the folder path..." option to trim off Projects/MyProject, and with the new option leads a repo:
  • index.md
  • category1/topic1.md
  • Projects/MyProject/category1/topic1/image1.png
  • Projects/MyProject/category1/topic1/image2.png

Alternative, as a whole separate feature, it might be useful to be able to set the "root directory" of sorts, but I haven't full thought this through, maybe given that notes can be anywhere in the vault, this wouldn't work.

Looks like all the docs internal text-links are broken here: https://obsidian-publisher.netlify.app/plugin/

[Mara-Li]

Wait. I forgot to apply the regex for image 💀

Thanks to remind me to do it!

Don't understand this, if you can explain more!

Regex fixed in 6.9.1

Thank you so much again! 😊

With the regex it's not really needed and possibly more flexible.

As per example I'm currently replacing the beginning of the path (Projects/MyProject) with an empty string. If I could set a "root" directory within my Obsidian vault for all the pages that should be shared underneath, I wouldn't have to apply such replacement. Meaning I'd set the root directory to Projects/MyProjects and when publishing the plugin would a) only search for share-able notes starting from the root directory and b) not include the path up to the set root directory in the repo path, when Obsidian path is selected.

[Mara-Li]

Wait. I'm pretty sure such option exist. But maybe not named root... Did you try the default folder option?

[Mara-Li]

Okay the description was totally wrong in the settings. I fixed that! So yes, you can use the folder in upload to define the root.

[eXpl0it3r]

Ah I meant it more for the other side, a root folder within my Obsidian vault.

• Vault: Projects/MyProject/index.md -> Repo: pages/index.md
  • Vault root: Project/MyProject
  • Repo root: pages

Anyways, with the regex this isn't really needed anymore. 🙂

[Mara-Li]

Oh, yes, regex was thinked for this kind of things ^^
