Obsidian 1.14.2 Desktop (Early access)

New

You can now open files from outside your vault in Obsidian. The file opens in your current window (Desktop only).

• Added the "Open file from outside the vault..." command. Pick any file on your computer and view it in the app.
• Obsidian now appears in your operating system's Open with menu, and you can set it as the default app for Markdown files (requires downloading the latest installer).

Improvements

• All in-app links now take you to the localized version of the Obsidian website.
• Base font size is no longer saved to appearance.json. It is now stored in the device's local storage, so it no longer syncs with Obsidian Sync.
• Improved drag and drop in the kanban layout and File Explorer. The view now smoothly scrolls when dragging near the edge.
• The editor link suggestions (e.g. [[) and the quick switcher no longer switch to a simplified algorithm in vaults with more than 10,000 files. Fuzzy matching is now always used.
• Format converter: Removed old formats from the converter plugin.

Bases

• Kanban: Cards can now be moved between folder columns when grouped by file.folder.
• Kanban: Creating a note in a column now places it in the corresponding folder when grouped by file.folder.
• Kanban: Added error feedback when moving a card fails, such as when the note has invalid properties or the target folder is missing.

No longer broken

• Editor: Fixed Home and End keys going to the wrong destination on lines with bidirectional (left-to-right and right-to-left) text.
• Editor: Fixed Markdown formatting characters not parsing correctly around emails (e.g. *Some email: random@example.com*).
• Editor: Fixed clicking on collapsed reference links (e.g. [link][]) going to the wrong destination.
• Bases: Fixed page preview showing the wrong height when previewing a kanban view.
• Fixed incorrect language code used for Khmer.
