Media Companion Plugin for Obsidian

Caution

This plugin creates and edits a file for each media file. Before using it on any serious vault, make a backup.

Warning

The file types this plugin is known to work for have been added in the default settings of the plugin. Other formats that Obsidian supports may work but they are not (yet) officially supported. Video files, for example, can currently break the gallery.

A companion plugin for Obsidian that creates a gallery with all your media files. The plugin aims to let you search through these files. Additionally, it creates sidecar files for each media file, to allow for adding notes, tags, and so on.

Features

Search through your files based on folders, tags, or file types.

More complex searching can also be done, like searching by color (without use of AI!)
