Markdown & Local Images

Configure the archive folders

Open the batch workspace and set:

• Download directory: the folder under Chrome’s Downloads root
• Attachment directory: the folder used for image files
• Download images: enable or disable local image copies
• Group by day: add a YYYY-MM-DD folder below the attachment directory

The defaults create:

Downloads/midjourneyObsidian/
Downloads/midjourneyObsidian/assets/YYYY-MM-DD/

Image behavior

When local image download succeeds:

• The image is written to the attachment folder.
• Frontmatter includes local_image.
• The Markdown preview uses the relative local path.
• The original remote URL is still stored.

When image download fails:

• The Markdown note still downloads.
• The preview uses the remote image URL.
• The run records a warning for that creation.

Video creations

The current exporter:

• Stores media_type: video
• Records the remote video_url
• Downloads the available preview image when image downloads are enabled
• Does not download the full video file

Add the archive to Obsidian

Chrome extensions write under the browser’s download workflow, not directly to an arbitrary vault path. After export, either:

1. Move the whole download folder into your vault, or
2. Sync that folder into your vault with your normal file workflow.

Keep the Markdown files and attachment folder together so relative image paths continue to resolve.
