1.1.0

Changed

• Restored the manifest display name to "Pinned Files" (plugin id: pinned-files).

1.0.10

Changed

• Set the manifest display name to "Simple Pinned Files" (plugin id unchanged: pinned-files).

1.0.9

Changed

• Completed the rename to "Pinned Files": the plugin id is now pinned-files (and the vault install folder is .obsidian/plugins/pinned-files/). The plugin is published as a community plugin under the new pinned-files id.
• Native File Explorer pin indicators are now styled entirely from styles.css (a toggled is-pinned-file class) instead of an injected <style> element, per Obsidian plugin guidelines.
• In-app UI text (view title, ribbon tooltip, settings labels, command name) now uses sentence case. The store/display name remains "Pinned Files".
• The "Clear all" button uses setDestructive() instead of the deprecated setWarning().
• Raised minAppVersion to 1.13.0 (required by setDestructive, also covers the awaited async revealLeaf).

Fixed

• Awaited workspace.revealLeaf() calls (no longer floating promises) and gated them behind the raised minAppVersion.
• Use activeDocument instead of document for popout-window compatibility.
• The "Open view" command id/name no longer repeat the plugin id/name.

Notes

• No data model or vault-content behavior changes.

1.0.8

Fixed

• Fixed a "Plugin ID mismatch" error that blocked installing the plugin from the community store. The manifest id is the permanent community-store identifier and must remain simple-pinned-files; it had been changed to pinned-files during the display-name rename and is now restored. The user-facing display name remains "Pinned Files".

Notes

• No data model or vault-content behavior changes.
• Only the display name was changed in the rename to "Pinned Files"; the plugin id (and therefore the vault folder .obsidian/plugins/simple-pinned-files/) is unchanged, so existing installs and pinned data carry over seamlessly.

1.0.7

Added

• Added desktop drag-and-drop reordering for pinned files within the Pinned Files view.
• Added a text-only drag preview while reordering pinned files.

Changed

• Improved drag-and-drop visuals with a straight drop indicator line.
• Improved drag-and-drop reliability by using the last visible drop target when the drop event lands in a row gap or just outside a row.
• Refined section title styling and spacing.
• Made the "Show section title" setting enabled by default for fresh installs.
• Refined pinned view row/title alignment while keeping hover and active backgrounds inset.

Documentation

• Updated future plans to note deferred mobile/touch reorder and keyboard-accessible reorder work.

Notes

• No data model or vault-content behavior changes.
• Drag-and-drop reordering is currently desktop-only.

1.0.6

Added

• Added an optional setting to show a small "Pinned Files" section title above the pinned list.

Changed

• Refined Pinned Files view spacing for a tighter, more compact sidebar layout.
• Updated future plans with notes on possible naming, sidebar layout limitations, and deferred workspace-sizing experiments.

Notes

• No data model or vault-content behavior changes.

1.0.5

Fixed

• Tightened sync/live-reload race handling by re-checking saveCount after loading plugin data from disk.

Added

• Added a GitHub Actions release workflow for future tagged releases.
• The release workflow builds the plugin, verifies release assets, checks that the tag matches manifest.json, uploads manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css, and generates GitHub artifact attestations.

Documentation

• Updated release-process documentation for future Claude Code sessions.
• Added future-plan notes from the final pre-submission code review.

1.0.4

Changed

• Replaced the builtin-modules package in the build configuration with Node’s built-in builtinModules from node:module.
• Removed placeholder-like README wording flagged by the Obsidian plugin checker.
• Reworded manual installation paths to avoid angle-bracket placeholders.

Notes

• No plugin behavior changes.

1.0.3

Changed

• Updated the plugin description for community plugin checker compliance.
• Added a README screenshot showing the plugin UI.
• Aligned package metadata with the public plugin description.

Notes

• No plugin behavior changes.

1.0.2

Fixed

• Hardened sync/live-reload behavior by replacing the boolean save guard with a save refcount, preventing polling reloads from reading stale data during overlapping saves.
• Prevented in-flight reload polling from re-creating native File Explorer pin indicator styles after plugin unload.
• Switched pinned row click and context-menu handling to event delegation so mid-click refreshes cannot destroy row listeners and lose the click.
• Added defensive normalization for externally loaded pinned paths, dropping non-string entries and deduping while preserving order.
• Updated documentation to match current UI behavior: basename-only rows, full-path tooltip, Unpin-only context menu, and native file-row styling.

Technical

• Added normalizePinnedPaths() for load/reload safety.
• Replaced saving boolean with saveCount.
• Added unloaded guard for reload cleanup safety.
• Moved pinned-row click/contextmenu logic to stable view-level listeners.
