Latest Version

0.4.3
22 days ago

Changelog

Quiet Tree 0.4.3

Maintenance release from the cleaned source tree, excluding local-only collaboration documents.

Retains the 0.4.2 fix: sorting-plugin conflict detection and automatic suspension are removed, so stale plugin IDs cannot disable Quiet Tree. Plugin behavior, saved ordering, settings and data format are unchanged from 0.4.2.

中文说明

基于清理后的源码重新发布，源码快照不包含本地协作说明文件。

保留 0.4.2 的修复：移除排序插件冲突检测和自动暂停，残留插件 ID 不再导致 Quiet Tree 停用排序。插件功能、已有排序、设置和数据格式与 0.4.2 一致。

See all version on GitHub

Drag a note and choose its destination folder in the native file explorer.

See both the position and the destination folder before you drop.

Features

  • Arrange each folder your way. Drag files and folders into a custom order without renaming them.
  • Choose exactly where to drop. An insertion line, its indentation, and a folder chooser make nested folder boundaries clear.
  • Keep the explorer you know. Use Obsidian’s native file list and your theme. Choose whole-row dragging or a dedicated handle.
  • Use a mouse or touch. Separate hold delays for desktop and mobile, with a cancel hint on desktop and a cancel area on touch screens.
  • Carry your order across devices. Ordering travels with plugin settings when Obsidian Sync’s community plugin settings sync is enabled.

Get started

  1. Hold a file or folder to lift it. With a mouse, move slightly after holding.
  2. Move to the position you want. At a folder boundary, choose the destination folder.
  3. Release to drop. Change your mind? Press Esc, or drag into the touch cancel area.

Reordering within a folder changes only the saved order. Dropping into another folder moves the file or folder, with links handled by Obsidian.

Install

In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins → Browse, search for Quiet Tree, then install and enable it. Use Check for updates there for future releases.

  • BRAT: add elfmedy/quiet-tree as a beta plugin.
  • Manual: download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from Releases into your vault’s .obsidian/plugins/quiet-tree/ folder, then enable the plugin.

Make it yours

Choose English or Chinese, whole-row or handle dragging, and your preferred hold delay. On desktop, you can exclude folders such as assets; mobile uses the same saved exclusions.

Settings and ordering live together in the plugin’s data.json. For sync setup, data recovery, and compatibility details, see the usage and data guide (中文).

See Releases for changes in each version. Touch behavior has been checked in mobile emulation; physical-device testing is still in progress.
