To maintain organization, it's recommended to create a dedicated folder for images. The video shows how to create an 'assets' folder with an 'attachments' subfolder. Then, it guides on how to change Obsidian's default attachment location to this new folder through the settings ('Files and links' section).
After setting up the attachment folder, the video demonstrates how to move existing images into the newly created folder. It then tests the new settings by pasting another image, confirming that it is now automatically stored in the designated 'attachments' folder. It also shows how to preview images by holding the Control key while hovering over their links.
The video explains how to delete images from your notes. You can select multiple images by clicking the first, holding Shift, and clicking the last, then pressing the Delete key. This removes both the image content from the note and the file from the vault.
To resize images, the video instructs inserting a vertical pipe character (|) after the image file extension in the note's markdown. Following the pipe, you can specify a desired width (e.g., '300') to resize the image. This significantly improves the visual appeal and readability of notes.
The video concludes by briefly mentioning that future videos in the playlist will cover how to align images (left, right, or center) and how to set a default alignment for new images in Obsidian.
The video begins by demonstrating how to insert images into Obsidian notes. You can copy and paste images directly or take a screenshot and paste it. Initially, pasted images are stored in the main vault folder, which can lead to disorganization.
