The Show Current File Path plugin displays the full file path of the currently active note in the Obsidian status bar, helping users quickly understand file locations within their vault. The plugin features customizable options, such as showing or hiding file names and icons for folders and files in the path. Users can copy the file path directly by clicking on it in the status bar or by using the command palette, with the option to copy relative or absolute paths. While the status bar functionality is unavailable on mobile, the copy path command still works on Android devices.
The Copy Local Graph Paths plugin enables users to extract file paths from links within an Obsidian note for use in external applications. It allows customization by adding a base path, filtering out specific folders, and formatting paths as newline- or semicolon-separated lists. This functionality is particularly useful for documentation, scripting, and integrating with AI-based retrieval workflows.
The Shell Path Copy plugin makes it easier to copy file and folder paths in formats that match your target system, whether you're working on Windows, macOS, Linux, or even a mobile device connected to a remote server. It integrates directly into the right-click menu and command palette, offering relative paths, absolute paths, and file:// URLs, all formatted appropriately for the platform. You can configure which options appear, choose how paths are wrapped to handle spaces, and get visual confirmation when a path is copied. This helps avoid manual edits when pasting into terminals, scripts, or AI assistants like Claude Code or Gemini CLI.
The Tab File Path plugin enhances navigation by displaying the full vault relative path of each note directly in its tab. Instead of seeing just the filename, you get clear context on where the file resides within your folder structure. This is particularly useful for users managing large vaults with similarly named notes spread across different folders, as it reduces confusion and improves orientation. With this added clarity, you can quickly distinguish between files without hovering or opening them, making multitasking smoother and file management more efficient.
