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…”.
Nope. Nothing in console, even when logging all levels.
I am working on (almost) the same environment (Ubuntu Mate 20.04 LTS) and it smoothly works in my case…
Is this a difference between snap and appimage? what do you have?
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.
Does this happen with the latest version of the installer?
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.
