Insert Image Plus

Yosuke TanjiYosuke Tanji3 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
  • Updates1

Insert images and Excalidraw drawings from a visual grid, grouped by filename prefix — 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 or an Excalidraw canvas is active) or the ribbon + icon.
  • Step 1: pick a category — Recent, All, by kind (image / Excalidraw / note), or any detected prefix.
  • Step 2: pick from a thumbnail grid (lazy-loaded, search-as-you-type).
  • Inserts ![[name]] (or [[name]]), with an optional default width. Into Excalidraw it places the image on the canvas.
  • Excalidraw files can be shown as live thumbnails (optional).

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 are rewritten; original goes to trash)
    • Delete — one file at a time, to trash. Blocked while references exist; Delete with references removes the links/embeds from Markdown notes first.
  • 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

  • Which kinds to include (images / Excalidraw / notes), optional folder scope.
  • Insert format and default width.
  • Prefix mode, separately for the picker and the manager: auto (collect from filenames), only listed prefixes, or off.
  • Reference badge on cards; WebP quality.

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

  • 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。命名規則がそのまま UI になります。

挿入ピッカー

  • コマンド「画像を挿入する」(Markdown エディタか Excalidraw 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。

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・ゴミ箱へ。参照がある間は削除できず、「参照も消して削除」で Markdown 内のリンク・埋め込みを消してから削除します。一括削除は持ちません。
  • 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

  • 対象種別(画像/Excalidraw/ノート)、フォルダの絞り込み。
  • 挿入形式と既定の幅。
  • 接頭辞の出し方(自動/指定のみ/OFF)を、挿入ピッカーと管理画面で別々に設定。
  • 参照バッジの表示、WebP 品質。

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.
