* #79 - parent-folder-name variable support
- introductions of simplistic macros / templating support
- initially only one macro supported: {:%parent-folder-name%:}
- macro expanded only for plain-text matching rules, ignored for regexp-based rules
- for children of the root folder the macro is ignored
- unit tests for the new macros.ts
- unit tests for the testable part of updated custom-sort.ts
Tons of updates:
- feature complete
- context menu for 'bookmark this' and 'bookmark+siblings' for sorting
- order of bookmarked siblings reflects the current sorting in File Explorer, whatever it is (!!!)
- unit tests probably missing for the additions
- list of TODO: updated in main.ts and other files inline
Tons of updates:
- full integration with standard sorting at folder level and at sorting group level
- refined support for implicit sorting for bookmarks plugin integration
- documentation update (partial, sketchy)
- new keyword added to support items starred with Obsidian core plugin 'Starred'
- the keyword is `starred:`
- detection and more user friendly handling of the general error condition when the File Explorer is not available
- new ribbon status icon shape to indicate the general error plus detailed error logged to the console
#32 - Implementation completed with rich unit tests coverage.
- manual.md contains a simple example of the new feature
- support for undocumented `\[0-3]` for the requester of the feature ;-)
- full unit tests coverage of the new functionality
- refactor of the parser to allow more flexible syntax and be able to detect more errors
- introduced many new errors recognized by the parser
- Implementation with full coverage of unit tests
- Documentation update with details about priorities (as an advanced feature, only in manual.md, not in README.md)
* #23 - support for sorting by metadata
- added support for grouping items by the presence of specified metadata
- new keyword `with-metadata:` introduced for that purpose in lexer
- if metadata field name is omitted, the default `sort-index-value` is used
- added support for sorting items by notes and folders metadata
- new keyword 'by-metadata:' introduced for that purpose
- if metadata field name is omitted, the default `sort-index-value` is used (or metadata name inheritance is used)
- unit tests of sorting spec processor extended accordingly
- documentation and code example in README.md
- extended to also support true alphabetical on metadata fields
- release unnecessary references after sorting completed
- finetuned the 'modified' sorting method - not the folders are ordered alphabetically, as the standard Obsidiand sort by 'modified date' does
- finetuned the 'created' sorting method in the same way as 'modified'
- added some initial content to syntax-reference.md ;-)
- extended the 'advanced modified' sorting method to also support the edge-case secondary sorting methods for groups
- added two new commands to enable/suspend the plugin
- intentionally put in the description convenient names: sort-on and sort-off
- code area was not covered by unit tests, not adding new one at this point (simple logic, fresh mind ;-)
Cosmetics: wildcard patters for root like '/*' or '/...' produced a non matchable sort spec in the main sorting spec. The sort spec in wildcards tree was ok.
- new syntax: target-folder: Reviews/* <-- applies to folder, subfolders and all descendant folders
- new syntax: target-folder: Reviews/... <-- applies to folder and subfolders
- special case: target-folder: /* tells the plugin to apply the specified sorting to entire vault
- enhanced syntax for '.' - can be used to specify relative path now (e.g. target-folder: ./daily)
- added new sorting attribute (sorting: standard) to actually give back the sorting into the hands of standard Obsidian mechanisms
- fixed a minor bug: some of error messages were displayed only in console, not in the ballons
- unit tests for all new and changed functionality
- pending README.md update
