Changelog

v1.0.4

New

  • Settings tab redesigned: Lock moved to General, dangerous section has description
  • CSS visual cues for disabled toggles, orange notice when overwrite is on
  • Excalidraw files now get frontmatter safely (no breakage)

Fixed

  • Ribbon batch now renames files with spaces (was hardcoded isManual=false)
  • Context menu folder update now also renames files inside
  • Command "Update all" now refreshes folder indices too
  • Root .md file no longer created (isRoot guard)
  • Rename handler no longer deletes renamed files (removed trashFile)
  • src/ folder completely skipped (was checking .ts, not folder name)
  • Files in vault root get proper tags/links instead of empty strings
  • inBatch race condition: counter replaces boolean
  • onunload now clears contentCache
  • Dead code isUserTag() removed
  • Build: 23.4KB minified, zero warnings
