Description

The Move Files Plugin plugin helps you organise notes by automatically relocating all linked files-such as images and PDFs-into a dedicated subfolder named after the note. When triggered via the command palette, it scans the note for linked resources, moves those files into a "{filename} files" folder, and updates all relevant links within the note to reflect the new paths. This is particularly useful for users who want to keep their vault tidy and maintain clear separation between notes and their associated media. It simplifies housekeeping without breaking references or requiring manual file edits.
