1.2.0​

New Features​

  • Templater Integration: Create periodic notes from custom templates using the Templater plugin. Learn more

    • Support for per-period-type templates (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly)
    • Automatic template application when creating new periodic notes
    • Fallback to standard note creation when templates are not configured
    • File existence check prevents accidental overwrites
    • Seamless integration with Templater's template processing

  • Optional Code Block Auto-Insertion: Added a new setting to control whether the periodic-planner code block is automatically inserted into newly generated periodic notes

    • New setting: "Auto-insert code block" in Settings → Generation → Time budget code block
    • When enabled (default: true), the plugin automatically adds the time budget code block to new periodic notes
    • When disabled, users can manually add the code block when needed using the standard markdown code fence syntax
    • Provides flexibility for users who prefer to manage their own note structure or don't use the time budgeting features

  • Flexible Period Type Enablement: Users can now selectively enable or disable specific period types (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) to customize their workflow

    • New settings section: "Enabled period types" in Settings → Generation
    • Five independent checkboxes to enable/disable each period type (all enabled by default)
    • Smart parent-child navigation: When periods are disabled, the system automatically adjusts relationships
      • Example: Disable monthly → weekly notes link directly to quarterly as parent
      • Example: Disable weekly and monthly → daily notes link directly to quarterly
    • Intelligent time budget calculations: Category allocations propagate correctly between enabled periods only
      • Child budget calculations skip disabled periods and use the next enabled descendant
      • Parent budget tracking uses the closest enabled ancestor
    • Automatic link generation: Frontmatter links (Previous, Next, Parent, Week, Month, Quarter, Year) only include enabled periods
    • Filtered note generation: Auto-generation and manual generation commands respect enabled period settings
    • Period children modal: Only displays enabled period types when viewing child notes

  • Go to Child Period Command: New navigation command that intelligently navigates to child periods

    • Command: "Go to child period" (ID: periodix-planner:go-to-child)
    • Smart interval detection: if parent period contains today, navigates to the child containing today
    • Falls back to first child for past/future periods
    • Works with any parent period type (weekly → daily, monthly → weekly/daily, etc.)
    • Only enabled when child periods exist

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed duplicate time budget block rendering: Resolved issue where time budget blocks would render multiple times on initial note load
    • Added render guard to prevent concurrent rendering during initialization

1.1.1​

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed immediate generation on load: Changed default "on load" setting to false to prevent automatic note generation when the plugin loads

1.1.0​

New Features​

  • Auto-Inherit Parent Percentages: Child periods can now automatically inherit time allocations from their parent periods based on percentage distribution
    • New setting: "Automatically inherit parent percentages" - when enabled, empty child periods are automatically pre-filled with allocations matching the parent's percentage distribution
    • Manual "Fill parent" button in the allocation editor modal allows users to inherit parent percentages at any time
    • Maintains proportional distribution: if parent has 50% Work, 30% Study, 20% Exercise, child will receive the same percentage split of their total hours
    • Example: Monthly note has 80h Work (50%), 48h Study (30%), 32h Exercise (20%). Weekly child with 40h available automatically gets 20h Work, 12h Study, 8h Exercise

1.0.0​
