I realize that, but let’s say I want to keep attachments not so far from their original MD file, and that I otherwise plan to have several MD files in my vault (must be a common use case, right?) — then I’d want preferably attachments in either a subfolder of the folder containing the MD file, something like that.
In this case, well I’ll have most probably one attachment folder for every MD file, which in return makes the File Explorer much less usable.
Anyway I’ll resort to put all my attachments in a single folder for now and classify them again when we’ll have the option to hide specific folders in the File Explorer I guess. Bit of a pain, but I’ve explored all possibilities and there’s currently no “neat” way to keep attachments separated according to the MD file they belong (while hiding them in the File Explorer) without breaking up some functionality in Obsidian or making it a pain to add & adjust images.
My use case is to put in there my reading notes of academic publications, so keeping those several notes tightly classified is really a major requirement here.
