FR: separate indicators for presence of DN, and presence/qty of other notes, and currently focused day

[ksdavidc]

The new indicator for presence of daily notes is very cool, but in my opinion is a little obscured by the red indicator indicating the currently focused day. Furthermore, it would be nice to get a visual count of the number of nonDNs in a given day.

If I were doing it, the current day would be indicated by styling on the day (border, say). I am going to see if I can already achieve the same effect with CSS. Presence of DN would efficiently be demonstrated by a dot. Meanwhile, a small number or other indicator could show the number of nonDNS.

Perhaps it should be optional. I can see that for some, it might appear to get busy, but for me, I like high information-density displays, so it wouldn't bother me at all.

Seconding the request for an indicator for the presence/quantity of non-daily notes! I love using this plugin for seeing a list of the files I created on a certain day. I don’t use daily notes every day, so it is a bit odd that a date looks empty on the calendar (no indicator) when there is no daily note but there are notes that were created on that date. An indicator for the presence of any created notes would be great, but an indicator for the count of created notes would be even better. I currently use heatmap-like plugins to visualize this; it would be awesome if I could replace those with this calendar.

Thanks for creating this plugin, @/bartkessels! Looks great and has been so useful already.

Hello, thanks for your feedback. This would be a nice to have feature indeed. I do however wonder if you would like to count the daily note as well in the indicator. Let's say you have three notes for today and a daily note, would you like to have the count-number to be four or three?

Because I also want to add a setting to remove the periodic notes from the note overview (see #57), so this might be a nice addition to that.

As for the indicator itself, I'm going to think about a few option on how to display that correctly.

That would be great! my first inclination was that the number should indicate the number of entries in the area below the calendar. if daily/periodic notes are not listed/included generally, then the number oughtn't include them, though there could be an indicator for the dn corresponding to that day if it existed. If the date had dn/pn that were created on that day and these were not excluded, I guess my tendency would be to include them even though that might appear as a double count, it they might still trigger the indicator for notes corresponding to entries for that day.
