Found that none of the plugins or settings save, so it resets to defults every time i swithc it on and off.
I think its due to the .obsidian folder being hidden, however i cant find anyway of unhiding the file without renaming the .obsidian folder.
Is there a way to let obsidian read hidden files? or a way to alter the way it works so i can rename the .obsidian folder to something without the dot that makes the file hidden?
