An option to enable metadata being written into the file. For example there could be a log att the bottom of each text file. In the log such things as dates the note was edited could be recorded.

It would also be very useful to be able to be able to make search queries based on that meta data.

Some metadata that is recorded in the system as you use it.

  • created
  • last edit
  • times viewed
  • amount of times it is linked

If you’re importing files it would be useful to be able to set created to the true creation date.

This would be very nice. I am importing thousands of notes, each of which have creation date/time details and it would be nice for this to be recognized (and usable/searchable)

  • Already implemented/supported/recognized since Obsidian Release v0.8.5 so this feature request can be archived IMHO.

YAML Frontmatter is now recognized. You can also hide it using the option in Settings > Editor > Show frontmatter.
