Limiting the number of dots in a calendar view

[someshwaradas]

I work on a lot of notes daily, and while the calendar view gives me a glance of how many I've touched that day, it becomes difficult to look at when every day has 15-20, or more, dots.

Is there a way to change how many dots display? For example, one dot for every ten files touched.

It would be much easier to look at the calendar and think, "OK, I worked on 1-10 files that day."

What would qualify as touched? Just an update of the modification time of any given file?

And you're aware that the modification time of a file might be changed by synchronisation, backups, and so on? Not only you doing actual changes to the file.

Lastly, if you're using the modification time to track the touched feature, you're aware that you won't get any history since it's only reflecting the last modification? That is, if you touched a file every day this month, the view would only reflect it as touched today (or yesterday). Neither of the older notes would display it as modified (anymore).

I'm not concerned about what qualifies as touched. If the system, for whatever reason, thinks a file has been modified, then I want to know about it.

What I'm asking is, can the dot count be compressed. For example, 1-10 files changed = 1 dot, not 10. 11-20 = 2 dots. I make tons of file changes on a daily basis and the calendar view is all but unusuable. I'm just looking for a way to make it useful for my workflow.

I thought the calendar showed the size of the daily note of that note, not anything related to whether the file(s) has been modified or not. I clearly need to look more into that some time, and then I can come back to you and possibly suggest some solution.
