Stencil libraries can now be stored as vault files instead of data.json, improving plugin settings stability. Existing users are offered a safe, merge-first migration. To sync libraries, enable Sync all other types in Obsidian Sync. To view library files, enable Show all file types in Obsidian settings.
Added editable Markdown images.
Store content locally (back-of-the-card) or link to a Markdown note, heading, or block.
Edit content and appearance from the Excalidraw side panel.
Supports canvas layering and image export.
Dragging a Markdown note as an image lets you choose a heading (when available) and insert it as either an editable Markdown image or embeddable.
Local Markdown image copies share the same source. Use Duplicate selected image to create an independent image and Markdown body. You can also convert between images and embeddables from the selected element’s menu.
Image-reference embeds now support an optional padding=N parameter, e.g. ![[drawing#^area=xyz,padding=10]]. #2850@Evgene-Kopylov
New: Flowcharts (Ctrl/Cmd + Arrow) now intelligently route new shapes to avoid overlapping child nodes. #11532
New: Draw to Shape automatically converts freehand drawings into perfect shapes. #9313
Fixed: Dragged arrow endpoints now respect grid and angle locks. #10972
New: Double-click an arrow to toggle its arrowhead. #11615
Fixed
Custom freedraw pens now remain selected after temporarily switching to the eraser or another tool, and are restored when returning to freedraw. #2859
Added configurable bottom padding for Markdown images to prevent clipped final lines or borders.
Markdown image font selectors now preview each font and refresh the vault font list whenever opened.
Empty Markdown image font colors now normalize to black when the editor opens or the color field loses focus. CSS controls can also copy the generated SVG for inspection.
Dragging an external video or other non-image file with the Import external file action now offers the same use, overwrite, or import options as images when a matching vault file already exists. #2851@WolfExplode
ExcalidrawAutomate Breaking Change
The Excalidraw API has replaced api.scrollToContent(target?, opts?) with api.setViewport(opts | null). Update the MindMap Builder and Comic Strip Director scripts, along with any custom scripts using the old API. See the Excalidraw CHANGELOG for details.
Relevant for up to 2.26.2: there seems to be a bug that erases data from the Insertable image: Both in Excali view, and in Markdown side (tried on two vaults, both had the issue), which appeared in some beta version (I think somewhere in range [beta.5 - beta.8]; I ran out of API calls for version switch on BRAT for 10 mins, and then for 50 mins ).
Could not reproduce on beta.4, but the bug seems to be random, so maybe I had a good luck; not sure.
First of all, thanks for raising. Working on a solution. The issue happens in the specific scenario you show in the video. You open one image to edit, and instead of clicking the Excalidraw canvas you immediately click on the next markdown image to edit.
I may be misreading your comment here, but from this I assume you were following along during Beta releases and already experienced this issue. My very strong request/plea is that if you are testing a Beta and come across anything strange you raise the issue during beta testing. Unfortunately, the community provides almost no feedback whatsoever during beta testing. Sadly, that is not really helpful.
The error in developer console is likely related to something else. I am not yet able to reproduce the console log errors.
Not quite. I had used beta.2, then beta.4, and then did not change up until the release (BRAT or Obsidian do not notify about beta releases; only the official releases, so I didn’t even know there were additional betas).
When I switched to 2.26.1, I first experienced an issue (and then same for 2.26.2). From that I tried to roll back to different versions to figure out which one does or doesn’t have a problem; and from too rapid switching BRAT has put me on hold for 50 mins.
At any length, thanks for raising, the fix is ready… and as it happens Excalidraw just released a cool new feature: bucket fill, so that will be included in the update as well
Fixed an issue where editing one Markdown image and immediately selecting another could silently lose the first image’s content, both in memory and on disk.
Fixed deletion of the last local Markdown image via the properties panel so it now consistently prompts whether to keep or delete the associated Markdown content, regardless of how the deletion is triggered.
Apparently yes, for many version switches in a row. It was a surprise to me as well… The actual message from BRAT was also in the Console Log from the previous Screenshot.
Just tested the 2.26.3 and it seems like the issue is in some other place… Still does not save successfully at times.
Basically Saving Scene (Ctrl+S) sometimes erases the content.
Since there is no errors in the console and the erasing happens only occasionally, I am not even sure how to describe the systematic steps to reproduce honestly.
