It works for all files including notes, images, and PDFs.

If you have any feedback or feature requests please open an issue or email me to let me know.

Installing the plugin

• Open Obsidian settings
• Go to Community Plugins
• Select Browse and search for Notes Dater
• Install the plugin
• Look through "Installed plugins" and enable Notes Dater (toggle)

Manually installing the plugin

• Copy over main.js and manifest.json to your vault /path/to/your/vault/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/.

Note on Linux file systems

On some Linux file systems, file creation time is not stored or reported, so the "Created on:" date may be missing. The plugin is desktop-only and reads file metadata without modifying your notes.
