Good news. I wonder if it can deal with deeply nested folders and get metadata from standard Markdown frontmatter already? (I have a fair amount of content already in plain Markdown, as you can see here: https://taoofmac.com/static/graph https://taoofmac.com/static/graph)

Did a quick test. Still seems to not support storing images alongside Markdown files (at least it breaks in mine), nor support having a default file (index.md) per folder and have the folder path be the actual page path.

  Not sure what approach you're stumbling with re: images, but they definitely support them, but you can literally just drop an image onto the editor and it'll embed it, including locating it where you've specified that attachments should go. The default file per folder is not built-in, but there is a handy community plugin[1] which does it.

    Right. That's the problem, it insists on storing images in a single folder, which doesn't scale or make it easy to manage complex notes as a single unit (it's the reason why my notes are folders and not single files).

      No, you can put them anywhere, it just defaults to putting them in a single folder for ease of convenience. There's even a setting, "Default location for new attachments," which allows you to choose: - Vault folder - A specified folder in your vault - In the same folder as the current file - In subfolder under the current folder But again, that's just the default location; you can put it anywhere and reference it wherever it is using relative paths.

        Well, I am looking at a very simple Markdown file with a single image reference and it's not working. The image file is in the current folder...

        Interesting – possibly normal image links don't work but their embeds do?

      You can store images anywhere. Can you share what syntax you are using for your image links?

    Just tried the plugin in "Index file" mode, set the index file to index.md and it doesn't seem to pick up nested paths correctly for some reason. (Also the rest of Obsidian seems to not be aware the plugin is there, the notes graph is still referencing the wrong things...)

  Those two are actually a must for me. My team at work needed a wiki and I would only accept one with such features, eventually we found it. Still looking for something to self note taking. I'd also need something that can sync to phone cheaper, as currently I don't pay for Google keep
