Breaking Changes
New "plain" vs "timestamped" split for timestamps and screenshots
Timestamp and screenshot inserts now come in two kinds. Command labels, hotkey behavior, template settings, and insert position all shift because of it.
Timestamped inserts are what the old commands produced: a wrapped, timestamp-annotated block from your template. They always land on the next line, ignore the Insert location setting, and leave your selection alone.
Suppose your cursor sits at the end of I love this part. Running Insert timestamped screenshot to note (formerly Insert screenshot to note) now produces:
I love this part
- ![[screenshot.jpg|Never Gonna Give You Up 3:45|50]] [3:45](video.mp4#t=3:45)Plain inserts are new. Just the link or the embed, nothing around it. They sit inline with your writing, follow the Insert location setting, and keep any selected text intact.
From the same cursor position, running the new Add screenshot to note gives you:
I love this part ![[screenshot.jpg|Never Gonna Give You Up 3:45]]The Insert location setting description was updated to match. It now only governs Add timestamp link to note and Add screenshot to note.
Example: selection behavior
You have important moment highlighted. Previously, running Take timestamp would replace those two words with the timestamp template. Now:
Insert timestamp snippet to note(the renamed version) leaves your selection alone and drops the timestamp block on the next line.Add timestamp link to note(the new plain variant) leaves your selection alone and places the bare link adjacent to it, either before or after depending onInsert location.
Command and action-bar renames
Three commands were renamed to mark them as the timestamped variants. Your existing hotkeys still work, but only the labels changed:
| Previous label | New label |
|---|---|
| Insert screenshot to note | Insert timestamped screenshot to note |
| Insert clipped screenshot to note | Clip and insert timestamped screenshot to note |
| Take timestamp | Insert timestamp snippet to note |
The new plain-insert commands have no hotkey assigned by default.
A few related labels were also renamed:
| Previous label | New label |
|---|---|
| Copy clipped screenshot | Clip and copy screenshot |
| Save clipped screenshot | Clip and save screenshot |
| Set clipped screenshot as media cover | Clip and set screenshot as media cover |
| Open related media | Open linked media |
| Add to media library | Add media note to library |
Template settings reorganized
The note-taking settings were restructured around the plain vs timestamped split. If you customized any of these, look for them under the new names:
| Previous setting | New setting | Drives |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot template | Timestamped screenshot template | Insert timestamped screenshot to note |
| Screenshot linktext template | Timestamped screenshot embed text | Same command (the |width alias) |
| Timestamp embed template | Media clip snippet | Insert media clip embed starting from current timestamp to note |
| Timestamp embed linktext template | Media clip embed alias | Same command (the |width alias) |
Saved values carry over. Only labels and descriptions changed. One new setting was added: Screenshot embed text, which controls just the display alias of the new plain Add screenshot to note (default {{TITLE}}{{DURATION}}, compared to {{TITLE}}{{DURATION}}|50 for the timestamped version).
Each setting description now names the specific command it drives, so the settings page maps straight back to the command palette.
What's New
Editor "Media" context menu
Right-click in the editor now shows a Media submenu with entries for timestamp links, screenshot embeds, clipped screenshots, and the timestamped variants of each. It's only active when a media view is open, so it follows whichever media you're currently working with.
Plain inline inserts that preserve selections
Two new commands that act like writing text, not pasting a block:
Add timestamp link to notewrites just the raw timestamped link, no template wrapper.Add screenshot to notewrites a bare image embed.
Both respect the Insert location setting and keep any selected text intact. Good for turning a word or sentence into a timestamped link without stopping to reformat afterwards.
Open media note command
New Open media note command reveals the linked media note for the active media view, creating it if it doesn't exist yet. Opens in a side split by default, matching Add media note to library and Shift+Enter in the media quick switcher.
Clickable screenshots
A new {{SCREENSHOT_LINK}} placeholder is available in the Timestamped screenshot template. Wrap the embed with it and clicking the image in your note jumps the player to the exact timestamp the screenshot was taken at.
Other improvements
- New
Clear media historycommand, with a matching button in settings under a newMedia historysection. Clears the recently played list the media quick switcher reads from. - Note-taking template settings have clearer, more consistent descriptions. Each one now names the command it drives.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed link click preferences being ignored when opening media from the media library view. Modifier-click and alt-click now follow your link behavior settings. (#608)
- Fixed YouTube embed playback occasionally failing with a "Failed waiting for player" error when the page was slow to load.
- Fixed media URLs with invalid clip ranges producing links containing
InfinityorNaNin the query string.
