Updates

• Added search functionality with “hicard” and “comment” prefixes, which can filter out flashcards and highlighted cards with annotations separately;
• Optimized the batch creation and deletion of flashcards;
• Skip symbol recognition within code blocks;
• Optimized the click event of the annotation input box.

Excalidraw v2.13.0 By Zsolt Viczian

• New
  • Flexible Auto-Export Location: Take control of where your auto-exported .png, .svg, and .excalidraw files are saved. Addressing a long-standing request, you can now define custom output paths using the new Excalidraw Hooks.
    • Implement the onImageExportPathHook callback in your ExcalidrawAutomate startup script to control the destination path.
      • Get the skeleton script via plugin settings or download it here.
  • Control Auto-Export Trigger: Use the onTriggerAutoexportHook in your startup script to decide if and how auto-export runs for a file, based on its properties or frontmatter, before the export path is determined.
  • Improved “Open Excalidraw drawing”: The Command Palette command now searches the entire Vault for the matching Excalidraw file when used on an embedded .svg or .png, useful when exports are in different folders.
  • Placeholder Files for New Embeds: When embedding a new drawing as PNG/SVG via the Command Palette, empty placeholder files are now created immediately based on your auto-export setting. This ensures Obsidian correctly updates links if you rename the file soon after creation (when “Keep filenames in sync” is on).
  • Paste Obsidian URLs into Excalidraw: Pasting an Obsidian URL for an image or file into Excalidraw now inserts the associated image directly into the drawing.
  • onImageFilePathHook Drag & Drop Support: The onImageFilePathHook (for controlling location/filename of embedded files) is now triggered when dragging and dropping files into Excalidraw from outside Obsidian, matching the existing behavior for pasting.
