Feature request: Ability to add (not replace) updated time #66

Open riabiy opened 9 months ago

riabiy commented 9 months ago

In my head it's quite useful to have a list of updates/times you've touched the note.

I'd be happy to avoid overriding and just to attach "udpated" time, e.g.

updated:
  - 2022-12-12
  - 2023-12-12
  - ....

Ofc not everybody needs it, but being able to turn this enhancement will keep on making this plugin the ultimate one and will cover "list" property. The same way this PR has covered numerics https://github.com/beaussan/update-time-on-edit-obsidian/pull/67

Yes, the note may get bloated, so by default it should be off. It's an advanced setting for those, who need.

But not required, ofc.

I like this idea. I also thought about it. It is interesting to save info to see how frequently a note was edited. You might like the compromise that I came up with then: using Git. I got it set up this way that it only tracks *.md, and .gitignore files. Then using restore command I can make the files appear as they were on a chosen commit. That allows me to see if a note was edited on a commit, which gives me a rough idea how frequently it was edited in total. You can also schedule Git commits to be every day or every week.

Yep. Another option - using restoration tool. For non-tec-savy people. Yet, having this in my front-matter is where it makes the most sense to me. I want it to be somewhat in my face. Moreover, it should not be a hard change. Sooo...🤷‍♂️

I second this append option. There is another plugin that does this with a YAML checkbox to selected notes from alangrainer. It could be great to unify everything in one plugin.

Does it behave like I've described? I mean multiple updates as a list.
