Repository navigation
This release brings a new way to explore your knowledge graph, smoother navigation, better Sidecar integration, and a collection of fixes that make K-Plex more reliable and enjoyable to use.
✨ What's New
🚶 Wander — Explore Your Knowledge Graph
Introducing Wander, a new way to explore your knowledge graph.
Instead of deciding where to go next, let K-Plex take you on a journey through connected notes. Discover connections, revisit forgotten ideas, and see where your knowledge leads you.
Wander includes dedicated controls and smooth transitions as you move between notes.
🔗 Smarter Sidecar Integration
Working with K-Plex alongside your notes is now more intuitive.
-
Attach an existing adjacent pane as your Sidecar using the new directional controls.
-
Open the central K-Plex note in your Sidecar, or bring the Sidecar's note into the center of K-Plex.
-
Switching between notes no longer causes duplicate Sidecar openings.
-
Rapid navigation now reliably follows your latest selection rather than jumping back to an earlier note.
-
Improved Sidecar layout and behavior when reopening panels.
🎯 Smoother Navigation and Better Automatic Fitting
K-Plex now does a better job keeping your graph in view as you explore.
-
Smoother visual transitions when navigating between nodes.
-
The central node stays centered as surrounding connections appear during background indexing.
-
Manual zooming and panning take priority over automatic fitting.
-
Embedded Excalidraw drawings automatically adjust to their available space when appropriate.
🎨 More Control Over Your Workspace
The graph background context menu now provides quick access to useful actions:
-
Open K-Plex settings.
-
Switch to Zen or full-screen mode.
-
Customize the graph background color.
-
Report a bug.
Tooltips have also been refined for better readability, including controls near the bottom of the screen.
🛠️ Fixes and Improvements
More Reliable Note and Relationship Management
-
Note deletion is safer: K-Plex cleans up configured ontology references while leaving unrelated properties and ordinary Markdown links untouched unless explicitly requested.
-
Renamed notes stay connected: Renaming a note now correctly updates its identity and labels in the graph without leaving stale references.
-
Correct relationship arrows: Explicit ontology relationships retain their intended direction, even when ordinary links point the other way.
-
Clearer Hide Connection behavior: Dialogs now explain which perspective will hide a relationship, while preserving the original links.
-
Reliable style editing: Saving or deleting node and relationship styles now completes correctly without getting stuck waiting for unrelated background updates.
Better Mobile Experience
-
Reopening K-Plex in the mobile sidebar now follows the latest relevant note.
-
Double-tapping the central node opens its note in the main workspace.
-
Improved readability of stacked layout controls on smaller screens.
Better Privacy and Image Handling
A new Allow remote node images setting gives you control over whether K-Plex loads images from external websites.
Remote image loading is disabled by default. Images stored locally in your vault continue to work without requiring this permission.
Improved Responsiveness and Stability
-
Reduced redundant file reads during startup and background indexing.
-
Improved consistency when navigation and indexing happen simultaneously.
-
Fixed menu positioning so toolbar menus open beside the correct controls.
-
Improved handling of graph views and menus when moving between windows.
-
Improved indexing status information, including cleaner callouts without overlapping tooltips.
