Empty String Variable Handling

Simplified Macro Architecture
Breaking Change in #858 - No action required
Simplified how macros work to reduce complexity and clicks:
What changed:
- The separate "Macros Manager" has been removed
- Macros are now created and edited directly within their choices
- One less layer of indirection = fewer clicks to manage your macros
What stays the same:
- ✅ All your existing macros continue to work exactly as before
- ✅ Automatic migration handles everything for you
- ✅ No changes needed to your workflows
Only limitation:
Macros must now be attached to a choice in your QuickAdd menu (they can no longer exist as standalone items)
This happens automatically.
Why this change was made:
Previously, you had to: Create macro → Create macro choice → Link them together. Now you just create a macro choice with the macro built in. Simpler and faster!
Natural Language Date Processing
Replaced Natural Language Dates plugin dependency with chrono-node library for better reliability and performance.
Icon System Modernization
Resolves: #850
Replaced FontAwesome icons with Obsidian's built-in Lucide icons for consistency and smaller bundle size.
📚 Documentation Updates
Comprehensive User Scripts Documentation
Resolves: #881
New detailed guide for creating and using user scripts with QuickAdd.
Topics Covered:
- Script placement and organization
- API usage examples
- Common patterns and best practices
- Debugging techniques
Field Exclusion Filter Documentation
Resolves: #864
Documentation for excluding specific folders from FIELD checking.
Example:
{{FIELD:fieldname|exclude-folder:Templates|exclude-folder:Archive|exclude-folder:.trash}}🎨 UI/UX Improvements
Consistent Modal Button Spacing
Resolves: #843
Improved visual consistency with proper gap spacing between modal buttons.

1.16.0
QuickAdd Release Notes - Version 1.16.0
I'm thrilled to announce QuickAdd 1.16.0, featuring a complete redesign of the suggester system that capturing links and tags lightning-fast, and critical fixes for the Templater integration.
🚀 Complete Suggester System Redesign
The suggester system has been rebuilt from the ground up to deliver blazing-fast file search with rich context and improved accessibility.
It now also searches by heading, alias, and blocks which will help you find the exact file you're looking for.
When you use the heading link, it'll link directly to the heading.
File and Tag Search
-
Fuzzy search powered by Fuse.js finds what you're looking for, even with typos
-
Smart scoring prioritizes files based on:
- Same folder location (files in your current folder appear first)
- Recently accessed files (within the last day)
- Exact alias matches
- Shared tags with your current file
-
Heading suggestions - Type
#to search through all headings in your vault -
Block reference suggestions - Type
#^to find specific blocks -
Alias-first search - Files are now found by their aliases with higher priority
-
Relative path shortcuts - Use
./and../for quick navigation -
Rich visual indicators - Colored borders and status pills show file context at a glance
Improved format syntax writing experience
I've made major improvements to the experience of writing format syntax in the Capture template.
It no longer interrupts you, should be more robust, and is more 'intelligent'!
🔧 Critical Templater Integration Fixes
Fixed: Async Prompts Now Work Perfectly with "Create File If It Doesn't Exist"
Previously, when using Templater's tp.system.prompt() with QuickAdd's "Create file if it doesn't exist" feature, template commands would remain unprocessed. This has been completely fixed!
Before:
<%* await tp.system.prompt("Enter date:") %> // Would show as raw code
Now:
2025-06-23 // Correctly processes the prompt and shows the result
Fixed: Double-Execution of Templater Commands
Some users experienced Templater prompts appearing twice. This frustrating bug has been eliminated through a complete rework of the capture pipeline.
🙏 Thank You!
A huge thank you to everyone who reported bugs, tested pre-releases, and provided feedback. Your input directly shaped these improvements and makes QuickAdd better for the entire community!
Special thanks to contributors who helped identify and fix the critical Templater integration issues that affected many workflows.
