This is an early release of 1.1.4 with some very important hotfixes 🔥🚒

Since the new dialog changes are taking some time, they've been rolled into the next patch, and the plugin roadmap has been bumped up by 1 accordingly. This will be the strategy for hotfix patches going forward.

Lots of people spotlighted new bugs in 1.1.3 like always, including @chrisgrieser, @rowboat-10, @MG240, @hdweiss, @konsumschaf, @btchh, @palashman, @LetsGoMaan, and @Flyingfolder. 💫 Muchas gracias, and please keep reporting any new issues you find!

New icon features

• Link suggestions can now show file icons!
  • Make sure Show suggestion icons is enabled
• File-moving dialogs can now show folder icons!
  • Toggle this behavior with Show "Move file" icons
• Commands have been added for some new and existing settings:
  • Toggle title icons
  • Toggle suggestion icons
  • Toggle quick switcher icons
  • Toggle "Move file" icons

Rulebook

• Added Embeds as a source for file conditions
• Added several new menu actions when secondary-clicking a rule:
  • Add rule
  • Duplicate rule
  • Move rule to top
  • Move rule to bottom
  • Remove rule is now colored red on most themes
• Added a highlight effect to rules when you open their context menu
• Added vibration when long-pressing a rule on mobile

Bugfixes

• Several Obsidian dialogs with autofill suggestions are no longer broken. For example:

  • Settings > Appearance > Text font
  • Settings > Appearance > Monospace font
• New notes correctly keyboard-focus their title when Show title icons is enabled

Full changelog: 1.1.3...1.1.4

The hardest part of programming isn't writing the actual code, it's finding time to write it. I hope you're all having a more relaxing July than I've had so far. Don't overwork yourselves 🤧

Tag icons have been a very broken feature since they were added in 1.1.0 — so broken that they were actually breaking other parts of Obsidian. Fixing this in one patch was the priority this month, and they're actually pretty slick to use now. If you spend a lot of time in reading mode, you might also notice several features like checkboxes, Bases, and certain community plugins working a lot more smoothly now. Give them a try!

Issues resolved in this patch are the result of feedback from @chrisgrieser, @GideonWolfe, @matgrig, @grodax, @Kuuh4, and @Flyingfolder. As always, bless your cotton socks for being the voice of the silent majority 💚

New features

• Inline titles can now display their own file icon!
  • One more familiar feature off the list :]

⤿ Theme: Solarized by harmtemolder

  • Icons now appear in all editing modes (including reading mode)
  • Icons now appear in tag suggestion pop-ups
• New setting: Show title icons
• New setting: Show tag pill icons

Bugfixes

• The editor no longer refreshes every time you click on a different pane, or modify a file in reading mode. This should eliminate a variety of issues like:
  • Scroll positions being aggressively reset
  • 1.9 only: Menus of Bases being completely unusable in reading mode
  • Meta Bind: Text and number fields losing focus after every single keystroke

Visual fixes

• 1.9 only: Iconic now recognizes the new sidebar toggle icons
• Icon picker: Now displays "Change icon" as the title instead of "Change emoji" when you deselect both icon modes
• Tab selector dropdown: Now displays rule icons as well as custom icons
• Settings: "Sidebar & tab icons" has been renamed to "Sidebars & tabs"
