Papertrail

Browse every markdown note from the sidebar — compact cards with title, excerpt, and modified date; a footer with search and quick-create; and a right‑click menu aligned with the File Explorer.

Requires Obsidian 1.5.0+.
Repository: github.com/ankitchouhan1020/papertrail

Install

Channel How
Manual From Releases, put main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css in <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/papertrail/, then enable the plugin
BRAT Add ankitchouhan1020/papertrail

Usage

  • Ribbon / command “Open Papertrail” — open or focus the view.
  • Footer — filter the list; + creates a note in the vault’s default location.
  • Right‑click a row — open in new tab, rename, delete, reveal in navigation when available, plus other file menu entries from Obsidian and plugins.

Settings

Setting Description
Sort order By modified date, title, or path.
Hide excluded paths Also hide paths with a . segment (in addition to Obsidian excluded files and .obsidian).

Development

Use Obsidian’s Build a plugin flow with a dev vault, not your primary notes.

  1. Clone into <dev-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/papertrail/.
  2. npm install (installs Git hooks via prepare; pre-commit runs npm run build).
  3. npm run dev — watch src/main.ts and rebuild main.js on change.
  4. Enable Papertrail and reload when files change (or use Hot-Reload).

Production bundle: npm run build. Edit src/main.ts only — root main.js is generated.

Releasing

See COMMUNITY_PLUGIN_CHECKLIST.md. Bump versions in manifest.json / versions.json, tag a GitHub release with main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.
