Additional information

2

can you post a screen recording?
If you use obsidian trash in the settings, does it work?

3

Yes. Obsidian trash works. And my system trash works otherwise.

4

Do you see any errors in the console when deleting? It might be a permission issue.

To check for errors, first open the developer tools by pressing Ctrl-Shift-I on Windows/Linux or Cmd-Opt-I on macOS, and then go to the “Console” tab. If you want to save the error to a log file, you can right click on the error and choose “Save as…”.

5

Nope. Nothing in console, even when logging all levels.

6

I am working on (almost) the same environment (Ubuntu Mate 20.04 LTS) and it smoothly works in my case…

7

Is this a difference between snap and appimage? what do you have?

8

Snap. I originally installed it with the following command:

sudo snap install --dangerous obsidian_0.7.3_amd64.snap

And have updated w/ auto-updater since then.

9

Does this happen with the latest version of the installer?

10

I’m using the AppImage now that there is one. v.0.9.20.

I was only using the --dangerous installation method because there was no AppImage back then.

Deleting to system trash works with my current setup.
