this results in filenames like: “Pasted%20Image”

Expected result

Please change this to:
“Pastedimage” or “Pasted_image” or “Pasted-image”

This will give better compatability with github markdown. When you see a markdown file with images on github.

Using some predefined naming schema is not a solution for me. I need to customize the naming myself - Or just remove spaces or use underscore “_” instead.

The problem is that Obsidian uses spaces when pasting, like “Pasted Image” and I do not want spaces in the filename.

Why you might ask?
Because I do backups to Github and Obsidian replaces spaces with “%20” in my setup. But when you view the markdown file in github, it cant find the file when there is “%20” in the filename.

Exactly the problem I’m facing. How can the devs be so stupid, that they decided on a default name with spaces!!?

Exact steps (remove all spaces - both links and attachment filenames):

  1. Search ‘Attachment name formatting’ under community plugins. Plugin by JYC333
  2. Install it. Enable it.
  3. Configure the separator in the plugin settings. Optional
  4. Open the command palette, type ‘scan files’, and select “Attachment Name Formatting: Scan Files in the Folder”.
  5. Select the ‘/’ folder. Press enter.

Done.
