TinyPNG Image

🤩 New Features

• Automatic Image Compression: You can now choose to have images automatically compressed as you add them to your notes or when they appear in your vault. This means you don't have to manually compress images each time you add new ones. The plugin will still respect your folder settings, so images in folders you've excluded won't be automatically compressed.
• Easy Image Compression: A new button has been added to the image file menu, allowing you to compress any image in your vault with a single click. This is especially useful for images that are not in your allowed folders.

🔧 Adjustments

• Better Image Handling: The plugin now uses a more advanced method (SHA-256) to recognize images, ensuring that they aren't re-compressed unnecessarily. This is done by checking the image's content, not just its name. So, even if you rename or move an image, the plugin will know if it has already been compressed.
• When you add folders to the "allowed" or "disallowed" lists, the system will more carefully check to make sure they are actual folders.
• The image cache is now saved, which greatly speeds things up by reducing how often files need to be read.
• The default cache file has been renamed to a simpler name that starts with a dot. This stops the file from appearing in the editor when "Detect all file extensions" is turned on in Obsidian.

Important Update: Cache File Path

IGNORE this if you have compressed images in previous versions AND you do not have access to the vault's file system (e.g., you are using app storage mode on Android).

Please rename the cache file path from DANGEROUS_DO_NOT_DELETE-tinypng-image-cache.json to .tinypng-image-cache.json directly in your system's file explorer (e.g., Explorer on Windows, Finder on MacOS, Files on iOS/iPadOS, or ZArchiver on Android).

While leaving the file name as is will still work, you might encounter issues if you enable the "Detect all file extensions" setting in Obsidian.

If you utilize sync services or plugins, ensure the cache file is syncing correctly. This is particularly crucial if you use the plugin across multiple devices, to avoid re-compressing images.
