🚀 What's New in ChemEdit Universal 1.0.7

• New, more functional editor (i.e. with support for reactions on mobile devices)
• Cleaner interface (should be more convenient on mobile devices)
• Canvas support (optional in settings)

• Some database/ELN related features from the previous version will be added to the next version.

New editor:

✨ Features

• 📱 Fully Mobile Compatible: A touch-friendly UI that works on phones and tablets.
• 🔌 Offline: Render structures and calculate properties without an internet connection.

🚀 How to Use

1. Drawing a New Molecule

Click the Hexagon Icon in your left ribbon menu (or use the Command Palette: Draw new molecule (SMILES)). A touch-friendly editor will open. Draw your molecule, click Save, and it will be inserted into your note.

2. Displaying Structures (Code Blocks)

You can manually type or paste chemical data inside specific code blocks to render them as SVG images.

SMILES: ```smiles CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O ```

Files (MOL/SDF/CDXML): You can embed actual .mol files saved in your Obsidian Vault! If you double-click the image to edit it, your .mol file will be updated automatically. ```mol [[aspirin.mol]] ```

⚙️ Settings

• Width/Height: Control the default size of the rendered SVG images in your notes.
• Smart Paste: When enabled, pasting a SMILES string like c1ccccc1 will automatically wrap it in a ```smiles``` block.
