Move Attachments
Moves all non-note files embedded in the current note into a subfolder next to it.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Attachments folder | Name of the subfolder where attachments are placed (default: Attachments) |
Example: A note at Inbox/meeting.md that embeds photo.png and diagram.pdf. With the default folder name, both files are moved to Inbox/Attachments/.
Typical uses:
- Keeping a note and all its assets co-located after the note is filed
Gotchas
Only embedded files are moved, not wikilinks. The action reads Obsidian's embed list — files referenced with ![[file]] syntax. Plain links ([[file]] or [label](file)) are ignored.
Markdown notes are skipped. If an embed resolves to a .md file, it is not moved.
Duplicate embeds are deduplicated. If the same attachment is embedded more than once, it is moved only once.
Conflicts skip and show a notice. If a file with the same name already exists at the destination, Folderer shows an Obsidian notice and leaves the original file untouched. No files are overwritten.
The folder is relative to the note's current location. A note at Projects/report.md with folder name Attachments will place files in Projects/Attachments/, not at the vault root.
