I moved a file which had numerous attachment paths in it, the auto rename function activated, then all of the old photos in that file were empty in the new file. |

This might be an issue with attachment paths but I'm not sure. If you have any recommendations for obsidian plugins that make attachment paths more explicit then I'm all ears, but it seems obsidian isn't getting the image, despite "Show in system explorer" showing the actual image. |

I can confirm that the __attachments folder had all the same path names as where the images were. The __attachments/**/ was actually ignoring the images. However, it's really the issue of how obsidian wasn't finding the image even though it seems that the path and everything was correct. |

It seems that the attachment in Obsidian and the disk part have matching names, so I'm not sure what's happening there.

And the most important thing, this plugin will never delete your attachment, it just rename or move it. So if the attachment was exists but you can not see that in notes file, this should be happen if the attachment was renamed but this plugin (or obsidian, I'm using obsidian api to update link) has no updated the link of the notes. |

I found the issue here once again. The issue is the max file path length in Windows. I'm not sure how to get around this without changing windows settings. Apparently UNC Path or the '\?' prefix can help, but I'm not sure of a way to have this and relative file paths at the same time. |
