Insert Image Plus

Yosuke TanjiYosuke Tanji776 downloads

Insert images and Excalidraw drawings from a thumbnail grid grouped by filename prefix (icon, logo, ...), and manage them one file at a time.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates6

Insert images and Excalidraw drawings from a visual grid, grouped by filename prefix — into notes, Excalidraw, and Mappy mind maps — and manage them one file at a time.

If you name your assets like icon - map.png, logo - shopify.svg, stick - idea.png, the part before - becomes a category. No folders to maintain, no tags to add: the naming convention is the UI.

日本語の説明は 下にあります.

Features

Insert picker

  • Command Insert image (only shown when a Markdown editor, an Excalidraw canvas or a Mappy map is active) or the ribbon + icon.
  • Step 1: pick a category — Recent, All, by kind (image / Excalidraw), or any detected prefix.
  • Step 2: pick from a thumbnail grid (lazy-loaded, search-as-you-type). Each card shows the file type. Search matches every word: obsidian §1 finds names that contain both.
  • Inserts ![[name]] (or [[name]]), with an optional default width. Into Excalidraw it places the image on the canvas.
  • Excalidraw drawings are found by name (.excalidraw) or by their frontmatter (excalidraw-plugin), so renamed drawings are found too. By default only drawings whose name starts with one of your prefixes (e.g. illustration - …) are listed, so work-in-progress boards stay out of the way. The SVG next to a drawing with the same name is hidden from the picker (setting).
  • Excalidraw thumbnails are rendered on the fly (on by default). Drawings heavier than 5 MB including embedded images show a placeholder instead.

Mappy support

For Mappy, the mind map plugin by Hiroya Iizuka (desktop only, like Mappy itself).

  • Select a node and run Insert image: the node opens for editing and ![[name]] is added at the cursor (press Enter to confirm). If the node still has a placeholder title (Topic / Main topic / Subtopic), the title is replaced so the node shows only the image (setting).
  • Mappy: Insert image inside the selected node adds the image on the line below the title and keeps the title.
  • Excalidraw drawings are inserted as an SVG of that drawing only (exported next to it; up to 5 MB including embedded images).
  • The categories shown in Mappy can be set separately from notes (e.g. only thumbnails and icons).
  • This works on Mappy's screen (the canvas and the node editor), the same way you would type ![[ yourself. Mappy's files and logic are not touched. A Mappy update may break this until Insert Image Plus is fixed — if that happens, please report it here, not to Mappy.

Manager view

  • Command Manage images or the ribbon gallery icon opens a tab.
  • Filter by folder and by prefix chips; search; sort by name / created / modified / size / references.
  • Each card shows the number of detected references, the file type, size and date. Hover for quick actions.
  • Click a card for details: large preview, referencing notes (click to jump to the line), and actions:
    • Open in Obsidian · Open with default app · Show in system explorer · Copy link
    • Rename with a prefix picker (keeps the prefix - name convention)
    • Move to another folder
    • Convert to WebP (PNG / JPG / BMP / AVIF). References in Markdown notes are rewritten to the new file; the original is always kept — the plugin never deletes it for you.
    • Delete — one file at a time, only when no reference is detected (checked when the dialog opens and again right before deleting). Follows Obsidian's Deleted files setting. The plugin never edits your notes to remove references.
  • Drag & drop image files from your OS onto the view to add them; you choose the prefix on drop.

Honest about references

Reference counts come from Obsidian's link index ([[ ]], ![[ ]], []() in Markdown). References inside Canvas files, plain-string frontmatter values, code blocks or CSS snippets are not detected — so the UI says "detected references", never "unused". There is deliberately no bulk delete.

Settings

  • Get started: checks your vault and tells you what to set up first.
  • General: image types (per extension), Drawings to list (None / Prefixed drawings only / All) with the drawing prefixes, hide SVGs with the same name as a drawing, drawing thumbnails, optional folder scope.
  • Insert: grouped by where you insert.
    • Common: picker columns (desktop default 5, mobile default 3), how many recent items to keep.
    • Notes: category prefixes, insert format, default width.
    • Excalidraw: category prefixes, placement size per prefix.
    • Mappy: use in Mappy, category prefixes, replace placeholder titles.
  • Manage: manager prefixes, reference badge on cards, WebP quality.
  • Category prefixes: one box per place, one prefix per line. Empty = show every prefix found in filenames.

Rename and Move require Obsidian's Files & Links → Automatically update internal links to be on; otherwise the buttons are disabled to avoid breaking links.

Install (manual, until listed)

  1. Create <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/insert-image-plus/.
  2. Copy main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from the latest release into it.
  3. Reload Obsidian and enable Insert Image Plus under Community plugins.

Notes

  • The UI follows Obsidian's language setting (Settings → General → Language): Japanese when set to 日本語, English otherwise. Requires Obsidian 1.8.7 or later.
  • Works on desktop and mobile. On mobile, the picker uses its own column count (default 3), WebP conversion is disabled on iOS, and drag & drop from the OS is not available.
  • WebP conversion uses the Canvas API and is available wherever the rendering engine can encode WebP (Chromium-based desktop and Android). On iOS the button is disabled.
  • "Open with default app" and "Show in system explorer" use desktop-only capabilities and are skipped gracefully elsewhere.

日本語

ファイル名の接頭辞(icon - 地図.png の icon)を自動でカテゴリにして、画像と Excalidraw をグリッドから選んで挿入するプラグインです(ノート・Excalidraw・Mappy に対応)。命名規則がそのまま UI になります。

表示言語は Obsidian の設定(設定 → 一般 → 言語)に従います。日本語なら日本語、それ以外は英語で表示します(Obsidian 1.8.7 以降)。

挿入ピッカー

  • コマンド「画像を挿入する」(Markdown エディタ・Excalidraw・Mappy を開いている時だけ表示)、またはリボンの「+」。
  • カテゴリ(最近使った/すべて/種別/接頭辞)→ サムネ一覧 → クリックで ![[…]] 挿入。Excalidraw にはキャンバス上に配置。
  • カードに種類(SVG/PNG/EXCALIDRAW…)を表示。絞り込みは空白区切りの全部一致(obsidian §1 で両方を含む名前)。
  • Excalidraw の図は名前(.excalidraw)か frontmatter(excalidraw-plugin)で見つけるので、名前を変えた図も拾います。既定では接頭辞(illustration - … など)が付いた図だけ候補にし、作業中の図は混ざりません。図と同じ名前の隣の SVG はピッカーに出しません(設定)。サムネは既定ON、埋め込み画像込みで 5MB を超える図はプレースホルダーになります。

Mappy 対応

Hiroya Iizuka さんのマインドマッププラグイン Mappy で使えます(Mappy と同じくデスクトップのみ)。

  • ノードを選んで「画像を挿入する」:ノードの編集が開き、![[…]] が入ります(確定は Enter)。題名が仮の題名(トピック/メイントピック/サブトピック)のままなら、題名を消して画像だけのノードにします(設定)。
  • 「Mappy:選んだノードの中に画像を入れる」:題名を残し、題名の下の段に入れます。
  • Excalidraw の図は、その図だけを SVG に書き出して入れます(図の隣に作成・埋め込み画像込みで 5MB まで)。
  • Mappy で出すカテゴリは、ノートとは別に絞れます(例:サムネとアイコンだけ)。
  • Mappy の画面(キャンバスとノードの編集欄)で、手で ![[ と打つのと同じように文字を入れる仕組みです。Mappy のファイルや処理には触りません。Mappy の更新で動かなくなることがあり、そのときはこちらで直します。不具合は Mappy ではなく、このリポジトリへお知らせください。

管理画面

  • コマンド「画像を管理する」またはリボンのギャラリーアイコンでタブが開きます。
  • フォルダ × 接頭辞チップ × 検索で絞り、名前/作成日/更新日/サイズ/参照数で並び替え。
  • カードに「検出できた参照 N」・種別・サイズ・日付。ホバーで開く/コピー/リネーム/削除。
  • クリックで詳細:大きなプレビュー、参照しているノート(クリックで該当行へ)、操作(Obsidian で開く/OS 標準アプリで開く/ファイルの場所/リンクをコピー/リネーム/移動/WebP に変換/削除)。
  • 削除は 1 枚ずつ。検出できた参照が 0 件のときだけ(ダイアログを開いたときと実行直前の両方で確認)。削除の仕方は Obsidian の「削除したファイル」設定に従います。ノートを書き換えて参照を消す機能はありません。一括削除も持ちません。
  • WebP 変換は Markdown ノート内の参照を新しいファイルに書き換えますが、元の画像は常に残します。
  • OS から画像ファイルをドラッグ&ドロップすると追加できます(その場で接頭辞を選択)。

参照数について

Obsidian のリンク索引(Markdown 内の [[ ]] ![[ ]] []())を逆引きしています。Canvas・frontmatter の素の文字列・コードブロック・CSS スニペット内の参照は検出できないため、「未参照」ではなく「検出できた参照」と表示します。

設定

  • はじめに:Vault の状態を見て、何から設定するかを案内。
  • 一般:対象にする画像(拡張子ごと)、一覧に出す図(出さない/接頭辞が付いた図だけ/全部)と図の接頭辞、図と同じ名前の SVG は出さない、図のサムネを表示、フォルダの絞り込み。
  • 挿入:入れる先ごとに分けています。
    • 共通:一覧の横並び数(デスクトップ既定 5・スマホ既定 3)、「最近使った」の保持数
    • 通常(ノート):カテゴリにする接頭辞、挿入形式、既定の幅
    • Excalidraw:カテゴリにする接頭辞、置くときの大きさ(接頭辞ごと)
    • Mappy:Mappy で使う、カテゴリにする接頭辞、仮の題名を消して入れる
  • 管理:管理画面の接頭辞、カードに参照数を表示、WebP 品質。
  • カテゴリにする接頭辞:入れる先ごとに 1 欄(1 行に 1 つ)。空欄=ファイル名から見つかった接頭辞を全部出す。

リネームと移動は、Obsidian 設定「ファイルとリンク → 内部リンクを自動更新」が ON の時だけ使えます(OFF だとリンクが切れるため、ボタンが無効になります)。

About
Name assets like "icon - map.png" or "logo - shopify.svg" and the part before " - " becomes a category. No folders to maintain, no tags to add: the naming convention is the UI. Insert picker: choose a category (recent, all, by kind, or any prefix), then pick from a lazy-loaded thumbnail grid with search. Inserts ![[name]] into Markdown, or places the image on an Excalidraw canvas. Excalidraw files can show live thumbnails. Manager view: filter by folder and prefix chips; sort by name, date, size or references. Each card shows how many references were detected. Open a file for a large preview, the notes that reference it (click to jump), rename with a prefix picker, move, convert PNG/JPG to WebP with references rewritten, or delete to trash. Deletion is one file at a time and blocked while references exist. Drag image files from your OS onto the view to add them. Counts come from Obsidian's link index, so the UI says "detected references", never "unused". No bulk delete by design.
