💡 Details

This release adds an open action to the file picker, polishes its chrome, colours the directory-tree preview by depth, and expands the default skip list.

• Alt+Enter / Alt+click to open entries (#32) — inside the picker, press Alt+Enter (or Alt+click) on any result to open it rather than insert its path. Tracked vault notes open in a new tab; tracked vault folders are revealed and selected in the File Explorer sidebar; everything else (paths outside the vault or untracked in-vault paths such as those under .obsidian/) opens in your OS default application. Plain Enter / click are unchanged.
• Clearer picker header and footer (#33) — the root bar and hint line are now 1.3× the theme's UI font size. Footer hints are displayed as themed key chips (e.g. [Cmd+O] on macOS, [Ctrl+O] elsewhere) paired with labelled actions, replacing the old flat dot-separated hint string.
• Rainbow-coloured directory-tree preview (#34) — each nesting level in the directory preview is coloured using your active theme's named palette (red → orange → yellow → green → cyan → blue → purple → pink, cycling beyond 8 levels; directories are bold). A new Colorize directory tree setting (on by default) lets you revert to a plain single-colour tree.
• Overhauled Skip directories setting (#35) — the default skip list grows from 3 to 58 entries, covering common VCS, build-output, IDE, and ecosystem artefact directories across JS, Python, Ruby, .NET, Swift, and more. The settings box is now a full-width, vertically-resizable textarea with live validation that flags missing commas, path separators, and consecutive commas inline. Existing users keep their saved setting unchanged.

No action required.
