2.10.1

Notes keep the dates you gave them, even in a vault you copied, synced or cloned.

Dates from your note properties

• The timeline and the heatmap read a note's created date from its own properties first, so a vault moved to a new machine no longer shows every note as made on the day it arrived.
• A new Created date properties setting names which properties count (default created, date). Case does not matter, and created at, date created and the like are always tried after them.
• Dates like 2024-03-05T10:00 and 2024/03/05 read too, and an updated or modified property sets when a note was last touched.

2.10.1 — 2026-10-29

Notes keep the dates you gave them, even in a copied or cloned vault. A vault that was
copied, synced or cloned onto a new machine could show every note as created on the day it
arrived, because the date came from the file and the copy reset it
(#205).

• The created date is read from the note's own properties first. A new Created date
  properties setting names which ones (default created, date); names match ignoring case,
  and common spellings such as created at and date created are always tried after them.
• Dates written as 2024-03-05T10:00, 2024/03/05 or in quotes now read too.
• An updated or modified property sets a note's last-touched date, instead of the file's
  own timestamp.
• A note with none of these falls back as before: a date at the start of its file name, then
  the file's timestamp.
• The standalone exporter now reads note properties the way Obsidian does — quoted names,
  accented names, and a # inside quotes — so it draws the same graph the plugin does.
