I’ve just found that this problem exists on mobile in the specific case of note names that include periods, in 1.11.5 and previously in 1.11.4. I didn’t test on desktop.
Steps to reproduce
- Enable viewing of all file types.
- Name a note
0.Home. - Set it as the default note to open.
- Reload the app.
Expected behavior
Obsidian loads 0.Home.
Actual behavior
Obsidian loads the last used note and opens the share sheet.
In the file browser you’ll see that Obsidian has created a file of type “home” named “0”. It tried to open that file on load and since that’s not a file type Obsidan handles, it opened the share sheet to handle it. Funny!
Manually adding .md to the name in the default file setting, as described in this thread, corrects the problem.
Setting a file without a period in its name as the default to open works as intended.
