NotePlan - To-Do List & Notes 4+

This is a quick update to clean up a few bugs after the last major release.

FIXES

- Fixed issues in the Kanban and Notes List with case-sensitive keys (i.e. keys written sometimes with lowercase and other times with uppercase)
- Fixed issues with invalid frontmatter (if you added a line separator at the top of your note and didn't follow it with key: value pairs)
- Fixed possible attachment deletion issue when moving a folder with the same name as a note that has attachments
- Fixed crashes because the frontmatter fields didn't resign the focus properly
- Fixed bug in RTF export where numbered lists had an extra space
- Fixed find bar position (CMD+F to search the note for text)
- Fixed issues with case-sensitive note titles in the properties.
- Fixed plugin download issues (the download was triggered twice by the plugin)

And other minor fixes, see the full list on our noteplan.co/changelog page.

LAST MAJOR RELEASE

This update is all about Note Properties (aka Frontmatter).

In the last two updates we have added new ways to display your notes (as list or Kanban style cards) which heavily rely on editing the frontmatter (note properties). For example to define groups for your notes so you can build a nice Kanban board.

So it was just time to make editing the note properties easier. As a bonus we have added a few default properties, like a note icon, and the note background color.

Note properties will be a central part for building more "database"-like features in the next few months.

NEW FEATURES:

1. Note Properties (Frontmatter) Editor

• Show/Hide the Frontmatter at the top of your notes
• Add, edit, delete properties through a user interface instead of the raw text
• Copy, paste and add properties from other notes (using the menu top right )
• Choose existing properties from a drop down (it picks up suggestions by scanning other notes)
• Select a note icon, the icon color, and icon style from a drop down
• Select note background color from a color palette


2. Note Icons

• Support added for note icons in the sidebar and notes list
• You can select the icon from a list in the frontmatter editor


3. Title bar with full path

• Find the full path + title of your note at the top in the navigation bar. We made it horizontally scrollable, so things won't be truncated and always readable.


IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES

1. API and Templates

• Extended NotePlan.ai function in templates (and plugin code) to support folders and a range of calendar notes ('last 7 days', or '... weeks', '... months' etc.) and a model parameter. See help docs for more ("AI Prompts in Templates")
• Fixed saving html into clipboard (using Clipboard.setStringForType(your html data, "public.html")


2. Images and File Attachments

• Fixed images shifting down when indenting on macOS
• Fixed issue where attachments were not synced due to broken attachment markdown
• Fixed attachments being deleted when editing notes through filters or search
• Fixed image sync deadlock if you have added images on two devices


3. Other Fixes

• Fix clicking on new note links created the note in root if the folder contained ampersand
• Hex colors codes are now validated in the frontmatter
• Fixed the sidebar sorting so numbers in folder names and notes are sorted correctly
• Fixed issues when scheduling folded tasks or tasks with synced lines.


4. Other Improvements

• Ignore tags that are surrounded by double quotes like "#tag", especially useful for hex codes in frontmatter
• Sync notes list settings again between devices
• Remove archived notes and templates from the notes list when opening the "Notes" header in the sidebar to see all notes
• Added search settings to the regular search to be able exclude events and reminders, to filter out recurring events that spam the results.
