Simple Archiver for Obsidian

Move old, stinky notes and folders to an archive, where they belong!

Simple Archiver moves files or an entire folder to an archive folder that you configure. The items are moved to the same relative path in the archive folder. Conversely, items that have been archived can be moved out of the archive to their original location.

Archiving can be done via:

  • Simple Archive: Move to archive command
  • Move to archive file menu item
  • Move all to archive multi-file menu item

Unarchiving can be done via:

  • Move out of archive file menu item
  • Move all out of archive multi-file menu item

Planned Improvements

  • Archiving a folder that already exists in the archive merges the contents
  • Archiving a file that already exists in the archive gives the option to rename
