1.2.0 — Mention tracking

Journal mention tracking (complete)

Auto-maintains people: and locations: frontmatter when inserting via picker commands.

Highlights

• Person and location picker inserts update frontmatter (deduped)
• Group inserts expand members: into people:
• Settings toggle to disable tracking
• Toasts when lists change; graceful YAML error handling
• Ghost create flows track mentions; link-only ghosts do not

Install

BRAT: Add beta plugin sagersmith8/obsidian-journal-utils and update to 1.2.0.

Community Plugins catalog: Not listed yet — see README for how to submit to obsidian-releases if you want public discovery without BRAT.

Full behavior

See README.

1.1.3

Notices and ghost create tracking

• Toast when frontmatter actually changes: "Added Joy to people"
• No toast on dedupe / no-op
• YAML error toast if frontmatter cannot be updated (body link still inserts)
• Ghost → Create person/location now updates frontmatter
• Ghost → Insert link only still skips frontmatter

Test plan

1. Insert new person → see "Added Joy to people" toast
2. Insert same person again → no mention toast
3. Ghost → Create person → people: updated + toast
4. Ghost → Insert link only → body only, no mention toast

1.1.2

Group mention expansion

Inserting a group link now expands members: into individual entries in people: (group name is not listed).

Works for:

• Selecting an existing group from the person picker
• Creating a new group via the member picker

Manifest version matches release tag (fixes BRAT version warning).

Test plan

1. Insert an existing group (e.g. Ryersons) → people: lists members, body has [[GroupName]]
2. Create a new group with 2+ members → members appear in people:
3. Insert group when a member is already in people: → no duplicate

1.1.1

Mention tracking settings toggle

• New setting: Update people/locations frontmatter on insert (default on)
• Turn off to insert body links only — no frontmatter changes

Test plan

1. Settings → Journal Utils → disable mention tracking
2. Insert a person → body link only, no new people entry
3. Re-enable → insert another person → frontmatter updates again

1.1.0

Journal mention tracking (preview)

Picker inserts now auto-update frontmatter on the active note:

• Insert person link → appends to people: (deduped)
• Insert location link → appends to locations: (deduped)
• Group inserts still add body link only (member expansion coming next)

Setting mentionTrackingEnabled defaults on (settings toggle UI in next release).

Test plan

1. Open a daily note
2. Insert a person via picker → check Properties for people
3. Insert same person again → list unchanged
4. Insert a location → check locations

0.10.0

People folder migration

• Migrate people folder to standard structure command (folder-sync icon)
• Preview modal shows all moves and merges before anything runs
• Moves flat notes (people/Graham.md → people/Graham/Graham.md)
• Merges sub-notes into primary files with section headings
• Adds type: person frontmatter where missing
• Uses Obsidian rename so wikilinks update automatically
• Records migrationCompletedAt and migration log in settings

Important

Commit or sync your vault before running migration. Review the preview carefully — this modifies many files at once.

Test plan

• Commit vault via obsidian-git first
• Run migration command → preview shows expected moves/merges
• Confirm on a vault copy OR when plan looks correct
• Verify people/Graham/Graham.md exists with type: person
• Verify [[Graham]] still resolves in journal notes
• people/groups/ left untouched
