Steps to reproduce

I want to set the default folder for my attachments to “.assets” (in subfolder under current folder) Because I discovered folder with name like this won’t show up in the Obsidian’s file explorer,which is just what I want. But Obsidian doesn’t seem to recognize this name, instead, it stores all the images in the root folder of the vault.

Expected result

All the assets are stored in “./currentFolder/.assets”, the folder name ".assets“ is hidder in file explorer.

Actual result

The subfolder “.assets” was correctly created, but images were stored in the root folder of the vault

Environment

  • Operating system:
    WIn 10
  • Obsidian version:
    0.12.4

Additional information

Not a bug but a design decision. . folders are hidden in most OSes and we standardize across OSes.
