Follow Obsidian updates and improvements.
December 18, 2024

New

  • Web viewer, a new core plugin, lets you open external links within Obsidian. This simplifies reading linked content without leaving the app and makes multitasking on web research projects easier. This plugin is disabled by default, and needs to be enabled manually in settings.
  • Added a "hide my changes" button to hide your own file changes from the Sync view in a shared Obsidian Sync vault.

Improved

  • New command "Download attachments for current file" downloads all externally embedded images and replaces the external links with internal embeds.
  • You can now copy individual values from list properties via the context menu or Command/Ctrl + C.
  • Right clicking anywhere in the local properties view now shows property menu.
  • File Explorer now displays a context menu when you right-click in the tree view.
  • File Explorer now includes a menu option to create a new folder with selected items.
  • Dragging a file over a collapsed folder in the file explorer will now automatically expand the folder.
  • Sort options are now available in the properties menu.
  • Tab close button will now be hidden if the tab is too small.
  • In the Sync history view, clicking on an active item now expands its entry.
  • The callout context menu now includes the option to remove the callout formatting.
  • The "Show backlinks in document" preference is now saved on a per-file basis.

  • Clicking the "Copy" button in a callout no longer switches it to source mode.
  • Added a "Retry" button when failing to load remote vaults due to poor network connection.

  • Fix REM units in pop-out windows not matching main window.
