Description

The Zettelkasten Branch Tracker plugin introduces a dedicated graph view tailored for notes that follow Zettelkasten ID numbering. Instead of showing a generic network, it parses hierarchical and linear continuations like 1114a, 1114.1, or mixed formats, then displays them as a clear four-tier structure. Parents, siblings, continuations, and children are colour-coded and sized dynamically to reflect depth and content, with dotted or solid lines distinguishing sequence and hierarchy. Users can pan, zoom, or adjust spacing, depth, and branch limits for better navigation. Interactive controls allow toggling counts, enabling auto-update, or focusing on specific levels. This makes it easier to see how notes branch out, trace ancestry, or explore continuations in large collections.
