Gallery View Dashboard v3.0.8 Release Notes

🎯 What's New

Clean Note Body

Imported content (books, movies, games) now generates notes with completely empty bodies. All metadata lives exclusively in frontmatter properties, keeping your notes clean and property-focused.

New about Property

Book and movie descriptions are now stored in a dedicated about frontmatter property instead of being written in the note body. This gives you a clean, queryable way to access descriptions across your library.

Unified genres Property

All content types (books, movies, games) now consistently use the genres property in frontmatter. Book subjects are automatically mapped to genres, eliminating the previous inconsistency where movies lacked genre data.

Professional CSS Animations

Completely redesigned animation system featuring:

• Smooth card entrance with subtle scaling
• Refined hover effects with professional easing curves
• Clean, modern transitions throughout the interface

New Checkbox Style

The custom checkbox has been redesigned with an SVG-inspired checkmark that animates with a satisfying scale and fill effect, replacing the previous border-based approach.
