I created a Bases file to visualize my attached images and learn which notes are linking the images and get a count of backlinks to each image (see image below). And I noticed that there are a few images that show 0 backlinks and no notes linking them, but I recognized those images and I know for a fact that are actually used in a Canvas file.
But it is very interesting that the community plugin called “Clear Unused Images“ correctly skips those image files because they are used. It means that the plugin works great and there is a way to know that those files are in fact being used.
But I do not know how to do this in Bases. I need help, please
Things I have tried
I have tried to find a property that allowed me to see the linkage between an attached image and a Canvas file. I have tried custom formulas. I was not able to figure it out.
Thanks @WetHat for sharing and helping out. I have replied in your own thread (the one you mentioned above). At least in my Obsidian environment, your Bases file has the same “bug” or “limitation” than mine
