Additional information
Asked in the discord if other users could see the same behaviour and they confirmed it too
On 1.9.10 Mobile we have: “Includes all new functionality and bug fixes up to Obsidian Desktop v1.9.10.”
On 1.9.10 Desktop Bases were introduced, and can’t find the reason/documentation about why export as CSV doesn’t work on mobile.
I’d consider this a bug. Are there plans to fix it soon? If not can someone please provide some context on the technical challenges? It would help to understand the limitations.
I also have problem to export base on my android device (Honor 8X, Android 10), running Obsidian Version 1.13.8 (367).
The option does nothing, only copy CSV work. I have tried to check logcat logs via adb, but did not found anything related.
I think I would need to get into webview console to see errors (seems the app build need to have enabled this in manifest file).
As a workaround I was thinking of Obsidian CLI running in Termux, which would be able to run base operations, including export CSV function, but there is another limitation, Obsidian CLI works only for Obsidian Desktop.
Any idea how to get insight why it does not work?
