Image Embedder

中文说明见下方

Paste, drop, or convert images into inline base64 data URIs — and fold them permanently in the editor.

A combined plugin merging Image Inline and Base64 Image Hider.

Features

• Paste & Drop — images from clipboard or drag-and-drop are automatically converted to ![name](data:image/...;base64,...) inline Markdown
• Locked Fold — each base64 blob is replaced by a compact … widget that never expands (all mouse/keyboard events blocked)
• Cursor Escape — cursor automatically jumps out of the base64 data section
• Batch conversion — convert ![[image.png]] embeds ↔ base64 across note/folder/vault scope
• Export — materialize inline base64 images back to vault attachment files
• Resize — optionally resize images before embedding, or save large images as attachments instead
• Settings — toggle all features including the fold behavior

How It Works

Before in editor:  ![photo](data:image/png;base64,iVBOR...5000 chars...)
After:             …

The plugin uses a CodeMirror 6 ViewPlugin with Decoration.replace and a WidgetType that:

• Returns ignoreEvent = true — the widget swallows every click and keypress
• Returns Decoration.replace — removes the text from layout so horizontal scroll isn't stretched
• Registers after onLayoutReady — does not affect Obsidian startup time
