Good point about the timestamp not being frozen/static. This means that, if I look at a Daily Note from a few weeks or months ago it will no longer show all the files modified on that day, but rather only the ones that have not been modified since then. So, the label for the column ought to be “Last Modified on this day” or something similar.
Another way to create a static snapshot that freezes in time what you worked on that day requires a manual step, as part of a “shutdown routine”: You can use the “Copy to clipboard” function for a specific view (see the screenshot), and then paste that as a static table into the note. I’ve now created a separate view for the .base file embedded in my daily note, which allows me to quickly generate a table of all the files modified on that day. It’s an extra step, but perhaps a good one, as part of a journaling routine.
Note that one limitation of Bases, at this point, is that when you use “Copy to clipboard” you get flat text as the titles of notes, so they are not linked. I’d like the option to paste as a link – as I’ve requested elsewhere – but for the “snapshot” function, I like the fact that I don’t get too much clutter-linkage. If every daily note included dozens of links, the graph view would become virtually unusable after a few months, not to mention years. But for others, this might be crucial. (Or, you can selectively wiki-wrap a few key notes manually. Again, extra effort, but perhaps a useful form of curation.)
