Quartz Toggle Public Image Plugin

An Obsidian plugin that toggles attachment files between public and private states by adding or removing a customizable prefix (default: public-) to filenames.

Features

• Toggle one or multiple attachments (non-Markdown files) between public and private.
• Context menu options dynamically show:
  • Make Private if 1+ public files selected.
  • Make Public if 1+ private files selected.
  • Both options if both types selected.
• Batch rename with automatic Obsidian link updates.
• Customizable prefix string (default: public), with automatic hyphen added internally.
• Skips non-attachment files silently.

This plugin is intended to be used with Quartz's Explicit Publish and ignorePatterns.
