FR: Relative path

[gerroon]

Hi

It would be very helpful if it accepts relative (to the current note) path, the absolute path makes it a right requirement.

Maybe something like this

->folder
-->assets
-->gallery.md

gallery.md

```img-gallery
path: ./assets
type: horizontal

if you are still looking for relative path for this I needed it for my vault and got it working well enough. Here is the changes to the main.ts file in the .obsidian/plugins folder

replace:
settings.path = (0, import_obsidian2.normalizePath)(settingsSrc.path);

with:
const currentFilePath = this.app.workspace.getActiveFile().path;
const currentDir = currentFilePath.substring(0, currentFilePath.lastIndexOf('/'));
settings.path = import_obsidian2.normalizePath(currentDir + "/" + settingsSrc.path);

Once that's added to the .js what do you put for the path in the data block in your Obsidian file? I tried . and currentDir/currentFilePath.

Why not do a pull request? That would be very nice addition.

After I put that in the main.js I use paths like this:
If you just want to display images in the same dir "path: /"
if you want to display images in a dir in the same dir as the note "path: /dir1"

I also took all the plugin files and edited them myself to make a sort of "custom" plugin lol. Dont know if that is required.

Why not do a pull request? That would be very nice addition.

I just wanted to share my findings to help out. Just doing the bare minimum atm lol. Feel free to take my tiny changes and create a more organized way of sharing them.

Thanks for the fix. It seems to work for relative folders, but I am not a dev and I would not know how to do this in an actual TS file to do a pull request:(

It would be nice also it accepts regular relative (./images) absolute path (/imgaes) syntax.

with the new Bases in obsidian, inserting this does a pretty good job to emulate an image folder overview in the current file's parent directory:

filters:
  and:
    - file.inFolder(this.file.folder)
    - or:
        - file.ext == "jpg"
        - file.ext == "jpeg"
        - file.ext == "png"
        - file.ext == "webp"
formulas:
  image: image(file)
properties:
  file.name:
    displayName: Name
  file.ext:
    displayName: Extension
  file.path:
    displayName: Path
views:
  - type: cards
    name: images in this folder
    order: []
    sort: []
    cardSize: 140
    imageFit: ""
    image: formula.image

make sure to use the base identifier for your code block:

```base

If you have Templater also, you can get away with <%+ tp.file.folder(true) %> which expands to the current directory. No editing plugin code required. Is what I'd like to say, but even specifying the current directory, it said the directory was empty.
