v0.0.0

1:

• Save files in Markdown format as .smm.md. The "More" menu in the top-right corner now supports switching to Markdown editing mode.
• Node hyperlinks now support linking to Obsidian (.md) files.
• Split-view mode now synchronizes the mind map’s core data (basic configurations and settings are not synchronized).
• Clicking the save button in the top-right stores the current preview image, which can then be embedded into Markdown documents using ![[.smm.md]] to display as an image. The image updates in real time when the source file is modified, and double-clicking the image opens the mind map editor.
• Node statistics have been added to the bottom status bar.
• A basic multilingual setting has been implemented.

2:

• Mind map and SVG data are now compressed and encoded before saving.
• Fixed duplicate entries for the Open as Markdown Document option in the top-right "More" menu.
• Mind map settings are now persisted across sessions.
• Added settings for specifying mind map file path, image file path, default structure, default theme, and auto-save interval.
• Theme mode can now be set to: Follow Obsidian, Dark, or Light.
• Files are automatically saved before closing a tab to prevent data loss.
• Uploaded node and background images are stored in the vault; only file paths are saved in the mind map data to reduce file size.
• Node images can now be selected directly from images already in the vault.
• Embedded previews now use PNG instead of SVG. This significantly reduces saved data size but sacrifices SVG’s high resolution.
• Added Copy as Obsidian Internal Link to the canvas right-click menu.
• Added a "Saving..." indicator next to the save button.
• Node text input now supports typing [[ to trigger a popup listing Obsidian files for inserting internal links.
• Obsidian files in the hyperlink dialog now support search.
• Notification messages and tooltips have been migrated from Element UI to Obsidian’s native components.
• Theme colors now follow Obsidian’s theme; non-Element UI component colors dynamically adapt to Obsidian’s theme.
• Added a button in the top-right corner to switch to outline editing mode.

3:

• Multilingual support:
  • Automatically follows Obsidian’s language setting.
  • Plugin code now fully supports Chinese, English, Vietnamese, and Traditional Chinese.
• Image upload dialog for node images now supports dragging images directly from the Obsidian file list.
• Pasted images are now automatically saved as files in the vault.
• Added Copy as Obsidian Internal Link to the node right-click menu; opening the link automatically focuses on that node.
• Internal Links:
  • Improved editing of rich-text internal links within nodes: during editing, raw syntax like [[xxx]] is shown; after editing, it renders as a clickable link. Supports suffixes like #, ^, and |.
  • Unified handling of internal links in both node hyperlinks and node text; updates are synchronized to the Markdown document.
  • Fixed ambiguity when inserting internal links to files with identical names in different directories.
  • Deduplication of internal links.
• Support embedding SMM-language code blocks in Markdown documents:
  • Simple mind map editing is possible within the code block; all keyboard shortcuts and rich-text toolbar functions are available.
  • Initial height can be set and adjusted by dragging.
  • Action buttons: Return to root node, Fit to canvas.
  • Command: Insert a mind map code block into the current document.
• File selection popups for node text now support keyboard navigation (arrow keys and Enter).
• Fixed abnormal rendering in the minimap.
• Fixed errors in presentation mode.
• Outline view now supports displaying and adding internal links.
• Improved UI styling, layout, and dark mode compatibility.

4:

• When importing .smm, .json, or .xmind files, base64-encoded node images are converted and stored in the vault.
• Hyperlink icons now visually distinguish between Obsidian files and web URLs.
• When exporting to .smm, .json, or .xmind, images using Obsidian paths are converted to base64.
• Added links in settings for submitting issues and downloading the desktop client.
• Double-clicking an embedded preview without an image still navigates to the mind map editor.
• Hyperlinks now support adding local files; selected files are uploaded to the vault, and the storage path can be customized in settings.
• Image compression for uploads is now supported; compression settings (enabled/disabled and parameters) are configurable.
• Added setting to control whether double-clicking an ![[]] embedded preview opens in a new tab.
• Added setting to toggle transparent background for embedded previews.
• Mind map file storage directory can be set to: vault root, a specified folder, or the same folder as the current file.
• Image and general file storage directories support four options: vault root, specified folder, current file’s folder, or a subfolder under the current file’s folder.
• Added settings for prefix and datetime format in new mind map filenames.
• Added onboarding guidance for first-time plugin users.

5:

• Added setting to extend the list of fonts available in mind maps.
• Directory inputs in settings now support selecting vault folders.
• Markdown documents can now be previewed as mind maps, with options to switch structure/theme and export as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
• Structure options in settings are now localized; single-type structures no longer show redundant index labels.
• Added a read-only mode toggle button in the top-right corner.
• If a mind map contains image data, embedded previews use PNG; otherwise, SVG is used. SVG previews support transparent backgrounds.
• Code block embedding now supports toggling transparent background.
• Code block embedding supports switching structure and theme.
• Components are now imported on-demand to reduce bundle size and fix interference with Obsidian’s table styles.
