Plugins: Daily Note Outline & Multiple Notes Outline

Hello! I’ve released Daily Note Outline v1.5.0.
This version includes numerous improvements to enhance the usability.
Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

:sparkles: New Features

  • Support for List Callouts plugin and Time list
    • List items marked by the List Callouts plugin by @mgmeyers are displayed with coloring.
    • List items with timestamps (- HH:mm text), used in Thino by @Boninall and some scripts, can now be assigned a distinct icon as Time List.
    • List callouts and Time lists can be extracted from the context menu of the extract icon.
  • Date Jumping
    • The behavior of the date range displayed at the top of DNO view has been revamped.
    • Clicking on the date part will display a modal for entering a date, and you can jump to the entered date.
    • Right-clicking on the date part allows you to select a date candidate to jump to (settings-specified base date, 3 months ago, 1 year ago, your first daily note, etc.).
  • Added a feature to create daily notes if unresolved links to non-existent daily notes are present.
    • This is a feature to visualize “backlinks to date”. Please refer to the repository’s description for more details.
  • Outline element text can now be wrapped (Settings → Appearance → Wrap outline element text).
    :dizzy: Improvements
  • Embedded links are now treated as link outline elements.
  • You can now change the icon for backlinks.
  • Tooltip preview is now displayed even for daily notes without outline elements.
  • Separated lists and tasks into different items in the settings screen for better intuition.
  • Added a delay time setting for startup(Settings → Others → Startup delay time). If daily notes fail to load on startup, increasing the delay time may resolve the issue.
    :bug: Fixes
  • Fixed an issue in Reading view where clicking on an outline element would not jump to that position properly. Now the position of the outline element is highlighted when you jump to it.

I’ve released Multiple Notes Outline v0.6.1.

This version fixes a bug that prevented views from displaying under certain circumstances. Please update and let me know if the problem persists.

:hammer_and_wrench:Important Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where views would not display under certain conditions.
    :arrows_counterclockwise:Changes
  • Modified the heading level display settings from individually toggling each level on or off to specifying the maximum level to display.
    :dizzy:Minor Improvements
  • Added the option to select numbered “H” icons for headings.

Interesting plugin, thanks!

Some things that seem important to me:

  • The tags icon for filtering tags is not visible in the tool bars?

  • 4 commands are needed: 2 for jump to favorite files/folders and
    2 for jump to recent files/folders

  • A search bar on top

Just another thing: Do links work on your side in a sandbox vault?
For example:
If I add links from a PDF with the PDF++ plugin to an annotation file (.md file), then no clickable links are visible in the MNO sidebar.
Other question: Is it possible that links created from PDF++ can be opened on the correct page inside the PDF file when clicked from the MNO sidebar (but linked from the annotation .md file) ?

Sorry, but MNO v0.6.1 had a bug. Please update to v0.6.2 :bowing_man:

Thanks for using the plugin!

>Tag on/off icon
I didn’t implement it because I thought it would increase the number of icons and that few people would want to turn tags on and off frequently in the outline. It’s a bit more steps, but you can right-click the gear icon to toggle it from the context menu.

>Command
Thank you for your feature request. MNO doesn’t have any commands for manipulating the outline yet. I want to add them eventually, but they are lower priority for now :sweat_drops:

>Search
The Daily Note Outline has an extract feature, and I’d like to bring back a similar feature.

>About links
Sorry, but please update to v0.6.2 :bowing_man:. If the problem is not resolved, please let me know.

>Link to PDF
Currently, MNO only loads outline information from .md files and canvas files. MNO retrieves metadata like headings, links, and tags from Obsidian’s metadata cache. However, I think the links from .md files to PDF++ pdf files may be different from those.

Jumping to the correct location in a pdf from an .md file is also not working at the moment, as I had not considered that use case before. I’m not sure if this is a native Obsidian feature or a PDF++ feature. If this worked, it could be useful for bookmarking specific parts of pdfs, which is nice. I will look into whether this is possible to implement.
