This is happening only for a single note, rest of the notes are fine. And, I doubt whether it will be reproducible at your end.
I have just opened the note as usual and I see red dots in edit mode and nothing in preview, when in fact yesterday I have created the note and added hundreds of lines of data (comprising text, URLs and images) copy pasted from various websites. Around an hour ago, I had to force shut-down my laptop while the Obsidian app (and that note) was still open and after the laptop restart when I opened that note, this problem appeared.
Are you able to open that .md file with another app? If not, I’m afraid your note may have become irrecoverably corrupted.
I hope you have backups. If you don’t, do yourself a favour and try this plugin, a cloud backup solution or, at the very least, regular manual backups.
No, I am not able to open that file in any other program (I have tried opening in Notepad, MS Word and in Adobe Reader). I mean the file opens but everything is blank, in MS Word, an 11 page document opens, but then it’s completely blank. Alright, I will try the plugin suggested by you. Thank you.
Yes, even I think the same. Just for your information, my laptop has undergone forced shutdown many a times since the time I have started using your app, but this is the first time something like this has happened. And, your app is always open on my laptop as I add new notes to it almost everyday.
Sure, I will let you know in case this happens again. Thank you.
Hit this problem with a file today.
Minor issue since I have versions and backups.
But I can’t remember the last time I’ve hit a similar problem using other programs.
There was only one, strangely. It looked like a backup was taken every 5 minutes, so it might have taken it while i was looking for a way to solve the issue. I just set it to be taken at longer intervals (30 minutes) for future issues.
