Changes#
There are some changes we've made to Obsidian. Might take some time to get used to -- but we think it's for the better!
- By default, the 2-pane preview layout is gone. If you want to restore to that view,
Shift+Click
the preview button on the title bar.Click
will turn the current view into preview. - Note title bar is now much smaller, allow you to see more text (and longer titles)! It's especially nice when you work with multiple notes.
- We removed back and forward navigation buttons now that you can have multiple files open. You can still use the shortcuts (
Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+Left/Right
) to navigate though. - Plugin list is moved into settings. You don't need to access it that often anyway.
- Action buttons like graph view and quick switcher are moved to the top, leaving only settings at the bottom.
No longer broken#
- Fixed Markdown formatting in task list items will break preview.
- Fixed nested task lists not working.
- Fixed cannot delete empty folders.
- Fixed adding duplicate file extensions (e.g.
.png
when dropping file into another folder). - Fixed a single "#" being recognized as a tag.
- Subfolder changes are now watched recursively on Linux.
- Fixed files and folders that start with
.
were not ignored, e.g..git
or.gitignore
. - Fixed window size not preserved across sessions.
- Fixed multiple audio recorder icons appear when you repeatedly enable and disable the plugin.
- Removed Electron help menu items.
