7.20.0: Re-use query instructions in "Presets" - and big performance improvements
What's Changed
🌟 Most Notable
Please run the Reload app without saving command or quit and restart Obsidian after updating the plugin. Thank you.
Here are the most notable user-visible changes.
🌟 Features
Presets facility (fixes #2443 and #2267)
- Presets allow you to save commonly used task query instructions and reuse them across multiple queries.
- Instead of repeatedly typing the same complex filters and sorting options, you can define them once in settings and reference them by name.
- For example, this is useful for daily notes with standard task queries, where you can now change search criteria in one place and have all your task views update automatically.
Written by @claremacrae and @ilandikov.
See the user documentation.
Major performance boost
- Tasks searches now only run when visible, and not on inactive tabs by (fixes #2999) @claremacrae in #3438
Review and check your Statuses
- The 'Review and check your Statuses' feature in Tasks Settings now adds sample tasks, so you can test your custom statuses easily, and check their styling by @claremacrae in #3440
Obsidian 1.9.x (Insiders) Users
- Beware the breaking changes in Obsidian: See our guide Missing tags, aliases and cssclasses in some Obsidian 1.9.x versions.
