What I’m trying to do
I am trying to open a file (Standard Topology on R.md) in my “MathWiki” vault from a LaTeX document using the Obsidian URI as follows:
\href{obsidian://open?vault=MathWiki&file=Standard%20Topology%20on%20R.md}{Click}
I am able to click on the link in the pdf output and Obsidian successfully opens the file. However, my cpu stays at 100% indefinitely. Here is htop:
Clicking the link several times will spawn more tasks identical to the one in the first line, all with cpu usage at 100%.
Things I have tried
I have followed the instructions here:
OS: Arch Linux
Version: Obsidian 0.15.9-1
Electron version: 18.3.6-1
Content of /usr/share/applications/obsidian.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Obsidian
Exec=/usr/bin/obsidian %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=obsidian
StartupWMClass=obsidian
Comment=Obsidian
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/obsidian;
Categories=Office;
Content of ~/.config/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/obsidian=obsidian.desktop
Output of xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/obsidian and xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler obsidian are both obsidian.desktop.
Both
xdg-open obsidian://open?vault=MathWiki\&file=Standard%20Topology%20on%20R.md &
and
obsidian obsidian://open?vault=MathWiki\&file=Standard%20Topology%20on%20R.md &
work perfectly; cpu stays normal. Inserting [text](obsidian://open?vault=MathWiki&file=Standard%20Topology%20on%20R.md) in any note in my vault works too.
Also, \href{https://...}{...} works, so theres nothing wrong with the hyperref package. I have also tried
\url{obsidian://open?vault=MathWiki&file=Standard%20Topology%20on%20R.md}
with the same cpu result.
Reinstalling Obsidian changed nothing. I also tried the using the AppImage, with the same result.
