Remove images from attachments list

Question

Hello,

Trialling Confluence for the business currently, which would be used for technical documentation. Some pages will have attachments e.g. scripts, that I would like to view using the attachments macro. However, the macro also shows all of the pictures embedded in the page too.

Is there a way to exclude pictures from the attachments macro? I have tried to use the regex filter ^.*png, but this still displays PNG images. Is there a regex expression that will achieve what I want?

Thank you for your help

this will excude all forms of .jpg and .png files, read @Bence Láposi's  answer for a great explanation of how this works

((?i)^((?!(jpg|png)$).)*$)

Hi, sorry for necroing this thread, but you may try

^((?!\.png).)*$

as seen at https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info/pages/44695583/How+to+use+regular+expressions

If you want to hide all files that end with png (say maybe someone accidentally removes the dot before the file extension when renaming), then

^((?!png$).)*$

would be the expression.

Also the file extension might be in caps (PNG) but regex is usually case sensitive (on Confluence it is) so the final solution is

(?i)^((?!png$).)*$

where (?i) in front of expressions will make sure it searches for upper and lowercase variants too.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

A number of people will be updating the Wiki with information and potentially uploading files, so this solution isn't really suitable for our situation.

Thanks again
