📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The attachment URL pattern now captures expanded metadata. Image matches use structured records with paths, metadata, and dimensions. Image resolution, copying, and Markdown export consume these records.

Changes

Image-link metadata flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Image metadata parsing and data shape
src/config.ts, src/utils.ts
ATTACHMENT_URL_REGEXP captures escaped-pipe, pipe-delimited, and hash metadata. getImageLinks returns structured ImageLink records.
Image resolution and copying
src/utils.ts
Image copying uses structured paths. File resolution falls back to the source directory. Resource-path lookup receives a resolved TFile or null.
Metadata-aware Markdown export
src/utils.ts
Markdown export reads structured image-link properties. HTML output uses stored dimensions. GFM output omits embed metadata, while non-GFM output preserves wiki-link metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5bb0b

Image exports can produce incorrect links, lose specified dimensions, or fail when an image reference resolves to a folder. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve dimension captures with trailing whitespace.

For ![[image.png|100 ]], the dimension alternative cannot consume the space before ]], so the regex falls through to \|[^\]]*. The match succeeds, but width is unset and HTML export omits the requested width. Keep trailing whitespace outside the metadata capture so the dimension branch remains active.

Obsidian Vault getAbstractFileByPath TAbstractFile TFile TFolder API

💡 Result:

In the Obsidian API, getAbstractFileByPath is a method of the Vault class used to retrieve a file or folder from the vault using its path [1]. Key concepts and usage: 1. Method Purpose: getAbstractFileByPath(path: string) searches the vault for an item at the provided path [1]. The path must be a string representing the location relative to the vault root (not an absolute system path) [1][2]. It returns a TAbstractFile object if found, or null if it does not exist [1]. 2. TAbstractFile, TFile, and TFolder: - TAbstractFile is the base class for both TFile (files) and TFolder (folders) [3][4]. - When you receive a TAbstractFile from getAbstractFileByPath, you can determine its specific type using the instanceof operator [1][5]. - Example usage: const item = this.app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("path/to/item"); if (item instanceof TFile) { // Handle as a file } else if (item instanceof TFolder) { // Handle as a folder } 3. Modern Alternatives: Because getAbstractFileByPath requires manual type checking, the Obsidian API now provides more specific utility methods: - getFileByPath(path: string): Returns a TFile or null [6]. - getFolderByPath(path: string): Returns a TFolder or null [7][8]. Using these is generally preferred when the expected type is known at call-time, as it removes the need for instance checks [8]. Note on Plugin Initialization: Plugin developers should be aware that getAbstractFileByPath (and related vault methods) may return null if called during the plugin's onload phase, as the vault's file cache may not yet be fully initialized [9]. For operations requiring access to files immediately upon startup, it is often recommended to wait for the workspace to be ready using app.workspace.onLayoutReady [9].

Citations:


Accept only a TFile from the fallback lookup.

When getAbstractFileByPath resolves to a TFolder, the null check sets imageFile to that folder. The absolute-output branch then passes null to getResourceOsPath, which returns "."; fs.copyFileSync can fail with the directory path, so the image is not exported.

The point is to keep Metadata. Ill Add an Option to forget it, so the output is "valid md".

- Around line 950-955: Update the image-link replacement flow in the surrounding
conversion logic so image wikilinks are converted before the generic wikilink
handling when convertWikiLinksToMarkdown is enabled, preserving hashLink as the
copied image destination while retaining metadata. Alternatively, explicitly
exclude image wikilinks from the generic converter; add regression coverage for
both pipe and escaped-pipe metadata.
