0.5.0

• Solution prep rebuilt: two tables, Targets (final volume, and a total concentration when you split by a ratio) and the components. Each solute can have its own target in M, mg/mL or g (the Unit cell), or you give one total concentration (M or mg/mL) split between the solutes by a molar or mass ratio. Added can be in g or mL (type g or mL in the In column): mL is converted to g with the row's Density (filled from the chemical note's Density property; blank = the row shows an error, never an assumed 1.0). Each solvent gets its own row (several share the final volume equally; edit the formula to change the split). The table shows the mmol (or mol: your choice in the form) and the concentration actually reached (M and mg/mL). Update the kit (Review update…) to get it; tables made with the old Solution prep keep working
• Analysis methods as notes: set Methods folder in Settings → Lab Kit and put one note per analysis method in it (for example Mass spec). The note's properties give the table: Columns (Name, Name: default, Name: =formula with {Other column} for that row's cell, Name: {n} for a row number), Results (the columns that go into Combined results), Machines (links to machine notes) and Default machine; optional Title, Icon, Tag, Checklist, Sample column and Dataset folder. A machine note's property named like a column (Eluent, Solvent, Calibrant…) becomes that column's default for the machine. NMR, GPC and DLS stay built in (a note with the same name replaces one). Every method note also shows up in the Alt+S menu by itself (after the numbered snippets, with its Icon), no refresh needed: picking it opens that method's form. The snippet Analysis table asks for the method first, then shows the form: sample codes, a Machine dropdown when the method has machines, and a field for each column with a default. The Sample list and Sampling timetable forms get a toggle per method, and Combined results can mix any methods (a code missing in the first table of a method is still looked up in its next tables). Column positions in Combined results are found by header name. Type a folder that does not exist yet in the Methods folder box and it is created when you leave the box. Empty Methods folder: everything works as before. Update the kit (Review update…) to get the new scripts and snippet
• New default folders: in a vault that has no kit files yet, the templates go in Templater's template folder (or Templates at the vault root) and all the scripts in Templater's scripts folder (or scripts at the vault root): no Lab Kit, lab-kit or Extras folders. A vault that already has kit files keeps using the folders they are in; the Templates, Scripts and Backup folder settings still override
• The Dataview-era files are gone from the kit: hazards/view.js, lab-header/view.js and lab-config.json are no longer shipped (the plugin draws the header and hazards itself). Copies already in your vault are marked Retired in Manage files… and are never deleted: delete them by hand or press Forget. Initials now come only from Settings → Lab Kit → Initials (the old lab-config.json fallback is gone). excel_to_calc.py stays, with a Use toggle in Manage files…
• Chemical database: set Chemical folder in Settings → Lab Kit to the folder of your chemical notes. Typing [[ in a calc cell then suggests them (by note name, or by the names in the note's Names property: picking one found by a name gives [[Note|name]]), and the reagent, solvent, monomer, CTA and initiator fields in the Alt+S forms suggest them for the item you are typing (after the last comma). Empty folder = no suggestions, everything as before
• Molecular weight property: tell MW() which property holds the molecular weight (Settings → Lab Kit). It is tried before the usual names (MW, Mr, Molecular weight…)
• Column snippet: Solvent field: an optional solvent; if its note has a Density, the density row is filled in. A density you type in the form wins
• Solution prep and Recipe start empty: the reagent and solvent fields no longer fill themselves from the note's Chemicals property (type them, or pick from the suggestions)
• Page no longer jumps after a cell is saved, also in big notes: the page is held in place for as long as the tables are still redrawing (up to 8 s), not only for the first 1.5 s; grabbing the scrollbar also lets go
• Calc tables sit flush with the text: padding and side margins that Obsidian or a theme put on tables are reset for calc tables
• Fixed: the kit's scripts and templates listed from an old backup folder: when an old backup (for example Extras/kit-backups/<date>/…) held a copy of labForm.js or Insert snippet.md, the kit could treat that copy as the real file. Backup copies are now ignored, and a path an earlier version recorded inside a backup is replaced by the real place
• Review update…: Tick all / Untick all for the files with a box (recreate, merge), and the Apply row stays in view while the list scrolls. A file an earlier version recorded inside a backup folder now shows as a new file to create, not as "deleted by you"
• Folders inside a backup folder are ignored: if Templater's user scripts or template folder (or a folder the kit remembered) points into a backup, the kit no longer uses it. Set up replaces such a folder with the real one
• Lab Book template starts with an empty line under the properties, so the cursor lands there and not in front of the lab header block (which then showed as source). Update the kit to get it
• Manage files…: the Open button is gone from the snippet rows (each is only a small stub that calls the snippet code, so opening it was no use)
• Manage files… keeps its scroll position after Install, Detach, Re-attach and the other buttons (it used to jump back to the top)
• Settings boxes fill the row, and folder boxes suggest your folders: every text box in Settings → Lab Kit is wide (the Chemical folder box was too narrow to read), and the Chemical, Templates, Scripts and Backup folder boxes show a list of your vault's folders as you type
• Clicking another cell opens it with one click also after you changed the text: the click is carried over the save. Obsidian rebuilds the table a moment after a save, which wiped a cell opened too early; the next cell now opens once the redraws have settled (about half a second after a changed cell). An unchanged cell still moves on at once
• Built-in kit is the first group in Settings → Lab Kit, with a new Set up button (Templater row): it points Templater's user scripts folder at the kit's scripts (only when Templater can't find them now), fills in Templater's template folder only when it is empty (never changes one you set), and adds Insert snippet to its Template hotkeys. Use it after installing the kit
• Templater hotkey: when the kit installs or updates the Alt+S menu template (Insert snippet.md), it is also added to Templater's Template hotkeys, if it isn't there yet. You only need to set Alt+S in Obsidian → Hotkeys. Nothing is ever removed from Templater's settings
• Update the kit (Review update…) to get the new forms
