LinkEdit 4+

Today we're shipping a significant update to LinkEdit with changes how metdata is managed. Metadata stores connections you make between your notes in a single JSON file.

New

• Metadata is moved to every project Default Folder, inside the ".linkedit" hidden directory to help with syncing
• New toolbar icons with better arrangement
• Toolbar now hides unavailable actions
• Improved Default Folder switching experience
• Delete button is now always enabled in the main menu
• Default Folder folder is now always expanded by default
• Smaller default font sizes
• LinkEdit now persists note selection even when you change a selected folder
• Clicking on a linked note will now open it in a new window, with sidebars hidden
• In addition to Quick Link (Command+K), now you can link by typing "linkedit://open" followed by a note name [Pro]
• Metadata will update itself if there's a new link found in a note [Pro]

Fixed

• Fixed "File → New Note" command. It now always adds new file to a selected folder
• Fixed the "linkedit://open" URL scheme when opening LinkEdit notes from external applications
• Notes sorting no longer depends on capitalisation which matches Finder behaviour
• Fixed issue with Quick Open incorrect state restoration
• Preventing metadata mutation if deleting or renaming notes fails
• More robust links and backlinks auto-updating during note renaming
• Fixed Links Inspector text alignment
• Fixed the notes sidebar showing old folder name when renaming a selected folder
• Fixed the editor problems after renaming a folder with selected note
• Fixed the metadata loss issue which happened when you have 2 notes with the same name and one of them linked. Then if you delete the other note you would lose a backlink from the first note
• Reduced Metadata file size by 50%
