Cleans up web-clipped notes (Evernote, Reddit, Zhihu, etc.): repairs broken resource links and shrinks oversized header favicons, avatars, and UI icons.

Overview
Scorecard
Updates1

Cleans up notes imported into Obsidian from web clippers (Evernote, etc.). Targets the common artifacts:

Header favicons that render at 200+ px and dominate the note
Reddit/Twitter/Zhihu UI icons (avatars, community badges, tracking pixels) scattered through the body
Embedded ![[]] icons stuffed inside the link text of […](url) references
_resources/<long ugly name>.resources/ folders left behind by Evernote import
Broken ![[…/X.resources/file.ext]] links pointing at folders that have since been renamed

Commands

Command	What it does
Auto-fix current note (all fixes)	Runs Repair broken resource links then Shrink small UI icons in one shot.
Repair broken resource links in current note	For each `![[…/X.resources/file.ext]]` link where `X.resources` no longer exists, scans every `res_*.resources` folder, finds the one containing the most of the missing files, and rewrites the link to point there.
Shrink small UI icons in current note	Adds `\|48` to wiki-link image embeds whose filename matches known icon patterns (favicons, avatars, Reddit `communityIcon_*`, Zhihu `embedded.svg`, web-1.0 `spacer.gif`, etc.). Random-hash content image filenames don't match and stay untouched.
Strip embedded icons	On the current selection, removes `![[…]]` image embeds nested inside `[…](url)` link text — leaves the link alone.

Repair-links algorithm

Index every file inside every res_*.resources folder under <note folder>/_resources/.
Walk every ![[…/X.resources/file.ext]] link in the note.
For broken folder references (where X.resources doesn't exist), tally which existing folders contain the referenced filenames.
The folder with the most matches wins; rewrite each broken link to point at it.

This handles the case where a previous import-cleanup run renamed folders but crashed before saving updated links.

Install (manual)

Download main.js and manifest.json from the latest Release.
Drop them into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/import-fixer/.
Enable Import Fixer in Settings → Community plugins.

Build

There is no build step — main.js is plain JavaScript using Obsidian's runtime API directly.

Notes

Tested on macOS desktop with an iCloud-synced vault. Mobile is untested; the manifest currently sets isDesktopOnly: false, but if you run on mobile please report any issues.
The repair command is destructive (it rewrites note content). Back up your vault or work on a copy the first time you run it.
Console logs are gated behind DEBUG = false at the top of main.js. Flip to true to see per-link decisions in the dev console.

About

Clean notes imported from web clippers by removing oversized favicons, avatars, badges, tracking pixels and leftover resource folders. Repair broken ![[.../.resources/...]] wiki links by relinking to the best res_*.resources folder, shrink known UI icons with a size modifier, and strip image embeds nested inside link text.
