I've copied the contents from this repo by downloading the source as ZIP (0.1.1 tag) to .obsidian\plugins\obsidian-link-archive but I get this error in the console when I try to activate it.

I am on Obsidian version v0.12.15 on Windows

We will probably need a compiled version as Obsidian does not seem to be able to work with typescript directly.

Current behavior

• When activating the archiving process (that takes a while) and switching to another not, the Archived links get pasted into the other note
• Also, when moving the link within the same note, the Archived link gets pasted at the location where the original link was initially

Workaround

Manually move the Archived links to the correct position

Proposed solution

• When triggering archiving process, save the note, the process was triggered for
• When Archived link is ready for pasting into the note, search the note again for the location of the original link and position the Archived link accordingly

Currently, the plugin scans the whole file and archives any links that it finds. This becomes problematic if you make heavy usage of the frontmatter in a note, especially if you also use other plugins that rely on that frontmatter.

It would be helpful to have a way of specifying that the plugin should not archive links in the frontmatter.

It would be great if support could be added to archive links to ArchiveBox.

It would be great if support could be added to archive links to Archive Today.

The text [MyLink](https://mylink.com) is formatted as [MyLink](https://mylink.com[(Archived)](https://archive.org/link/)). Note the mishandling of the final ). The Archived link should be placed following the final ')' of the original markdown link.

I keep getting "1/1 Failed to archive [URL]" followed by "Link archiving done!" But it doesn't do anything. There isn't an error in the console:

Any ideas? Thanks!

It would be useful if obsidian-link-archive had the ability to process only the link at the current cursor position and/or the selected links.

This relates to #5, since there should be commands tied to these functions.

Currently, the plugin inserts a link to the archived content with the text (Archived). While you can customize it to an extent, it would be great to be able to automatically generate the date/timestamp at which it was archived. (I tried using (Archived on {{date}}) and it didn't work.)

Optimally, it would use the date/timestamp preferences that the user has specified within Obsidian.

I would like to have a hotkey to archive links on the current note.

Maybe this is already possible within Obsidian settings, but I couldn't find it.

PS: thanks for this plugin, I was about to develop the same thing :)

I'd like to run this on my whole vault. Alternatively I suppose I could look for all the HTTP links and then put those in a note and run it but I though't i'd ask about feasability here!

Thx but it's not working

It didn't quite get this Wikipedia URL right. It's just a URL in the markdown, not formatted as a []() external link. The markdown was like this:
[^1]: Erica (plant) - Wikipedia. Available at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica_(plant) (Accessed: 28 April 2022).
After archiving it ended up like this:
[^1]: Erica (plant) - Wikipedia. Available at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica_ [(Archived)](https://web.archive.org/web/20220428/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica_)(plant) (Accessed: 28 April 2022).
The bit of the title in brackets at the end (common in Wikipedia URLs for disambiguation) confused it a bit!

Can I suggest a more recognizable icon?
How about this: https://thenounproject.com/icon/folder-3684102/

Ideally, instead of a manila folder, it would use a cardboard box like https://thenounproject.com/icon/archive-box-1729584/

Problem

Youtube and some other sides aren't archived correctly. In one of my documents I have about 24 links to youtube and I need to manually remove all these archived links (because none of them are useful)

Solution

It would be nice to have an option in plugin settings with an list of links that are ignored and not archived.
