You can now rename files, tags and properties inline using Enter (macOS) or F2 (Windows and Linux)! And we got more optimizations! This release significantly reduces preview work while typing and also improves drag and drop performance. Previously there were lots of processing happening in the background every time Obsidian updated the current file when typing, now all actions are heavily gated.
New
- Inline rename. Rename files, folders, tags, and properties inline with Enter on macOS or F2 on Windows/Linux. The keyboard command is customizable with the
pane:renameaction. - Manual sort. Manual-sort movement now uses the custom hotkey actions
list:manual-sort-upandlist:manual-sort-down. Defaults remainMod+ArrowUpandMod+ArrowDown. - File icons. New setting: File icon preset in Notes > Icons by file type. You can now pick default file icons from one of the installed icon packs.
- Navigation pane. New setting Skip vault root when collapsing in Navigation pane > Collapse items. When collapsing all items, the vault root folder keeps its current state.
Improved
- Navigation pane. Root item spacing now supports values up to
12px. - Performance. Significantly improved drag and drop performance! Drag previews now use browser-native drag images instead of a JavaScript element that follows the pointer.
- Performance. Significantly improved performance when typing in the current note.
Changed
- Merge notes. Source notes are no longer moved to trash by default. Select the option in the merge dialog to move them to trash.
Fixed
- Manual sort. Fixed a problem with manual sort when Show notes from subfolders / descendants was enabled. For example, a parent folder could have note
1, a subfolder with notes2.0and2.1, and then note3. After manually sorting the subfolder notes, the parent folder could show2.0,2.1,1,3instead of1,2.0,2.1,3. The parent folder now keeps the correct order after sorting notes inside the subfolder. - Properties. Fixed property value assignment writing the display label instead of the original frontmatter link value. Values such as
[[Mini-Tasks]]now keep theMini-Taskslabel while assigning writes[[Mini-Tasks]]. - List pane. Fixed Reveal file not scrolling to notes inside collapsed list groups or the collapsed pinned section.
