Does it work only for images? #2
Description
Activity
Thanks for the report, and sorry for the slow reply.
What happens today (1.8.2): the search modal does find PDFs and videos (the
Videos/Docsfile-type filters exist for exactly that), but the line the plugin inserts is an image-style embed pointing at the original file, e.g.. Obsidian only renders that syntax inline for image formats, so for a PDF or video you get an empty/broken embed instead of a preview. The metadata line and the "Open in Eagle" link still work.Workaround right now: set
Link modeto "Eagle link only — hyperlink text" in the plugin settings. For PDFs and videos you then get a clean[name](eagle://item/…)link that opens the item in Eagle, with no broken embed.Planned fix: treat non-image items explicitly on insert:
- PDF / video → insert Eagle's own generated thumbnail (Eagle already creates one for these) as an image linked to the item via
eagle://, plus the metadata card. That gives a visible preview and one click to open the real file. - Keep the current behaviour for images.
If you'd rather have a different shape for PDFs/videos (for example a plain link with the metadata card, or an Obsidian
![[…]]-style embed that Obsidian can render as a PDF viewer), let me know here and I'll take it into account. I'll leave this issue open until it ships.- PDF / video → insert Eagle's own generated thumbnail (Eagle already creates one for these) as an image linked to the item via
Hi,
Its working fine with images. However I want to keep other attachment filetypes as well in Eagle such as PDF, Videos etc.
I also tried, keeping the PDF and video files in Eagle first, then tried "Search Eagle Library and Embed" command but it does render.
Thanks
