✨ New Features & Improvements

📏 Support for Item Lengths & Resizing

resize single note
You can now enable a secondary property to define the "length" or "end" value of a note.

  • Supports negative lengths or end values that are less than the primary property.
  • Moving notes updates both properties simultaneously.
  • If a secondary property is enabled, notes can be resized.
  • Set default secondary properties in the plugin settings.

📅 Smarter & More Intuitive Ruler

ruler dates

  • when using a date-type property, the ruler will now align with real units of time (hours, days, months, etc.) instead of random increments.
  • unlabeled sub-notches have been added to more easily keep track of where you are
  • vertical lines now extend through the entire timeline to more easily see how notes align with the values at the top

🎨 Design Changes

This release comes with changes to the design to bring it more in line with Obsidian's design. Namely:

  • the selection boundary now matches the design of the selection boundary used in Canvas
  • the to make room for the new selection boundary design, notes have been spaced apart
  • the horizontal lines in the background of the timeline are subtler
  • selected notes no longer hide their group color

🎛 Integration with the Style Settings Plugin

Some of the design choices have been made available for customization through the Style Settings plugin. If you have it installed, you'll be able to customize the spacing, size, and color of the notes.

🔄 Refined Tab Behavior

To better match Obsidian’s tab system, changes have been made to how the timeline syncs with other tabs:

  • The linking option has been removed—no manual linking needed!
  • Instead, if another tab gains focus while the timeline is open, the timeline will automatically focus on the selected note.

🖌 Better CSS Targeting for Theme Developers

We've made under-the-hood changes to:

  • Improve CSS targetability for theme developers.
  • Reduce style conflicts with other plugins.
    For details, check out the Theme Developers Guide

🛠 Bug Fixes & Quality-of-Life Improvements

Touchpad scrolling is now fully supported for easier navigation.

Thanks for your support and feedback—enjoy the update! 🎉
