[FR] Convert in file

[bloominburges]

THank you for creating this. it's a life saver. I haven't found any other way to maintain something as simple as bullet hierarchies in a word document, and your solution does this excellently.

My request is around how one converts a word document w/ your plugin.... It would be great if i didn't have to open the document in obsidian, then click the convert button --> because then the converted document is created in the same location as the document (which is my attachments folder). I never keep notes in my attachments folder. Also, i have a template with properties, so i need to go into source mode, delete the properties, then click my templater shortcut.

Look it's not a big issue, you've already saved my life by just creating this plugin, but this is a bit of a pain as I am using your plugin 10 times a day...

Solution:

• would be if one can just import and convert in either a single action command (ctrl +P), which then imports the converted docs into the note the user is currently already within
• alternatively, if user can convert docx's that are LINKED in a note, and the converted output is placed into the current note (the one that has the link to the docx). This would allow users to just drag the docx from windows explorer into obsidian (so a link is created), then right click the docx file ->convert, and have the output placed right there in the same line as the link

Oh also, and this is sort of a big one -- if you could allow the user to specify their "attachments" folder format/naming structure? I see your plugin auto creates "Attachments" folder, when my attachments folders are setup to have the following naming convention "z! Attachments". So since there was no "attachments" folder, it creates a new one every time, unecessarily

Unfortunately, I don't have much time in the upcoming months and thus can't make any big changes to the plugin. Your issue sounds valid to me, but it would require some juggling with paths and a neat way to embed it into the current plugin. Maybe you could ask an LLM to rewrite the code to your needs (Or much better: Try to modify the code by yourself).

For the folder naming issue, you can set the folder where the attachments get placed into in the settings (labeled "Custom attachments folder").
