Things I have tried
I have unpacked Obsidian-0.12.19.AppImage
under /run/media/$USER/Obsidian
and that has created the folder squashfs-root within /run/media/$USER/Obsidian.
I have created a file called obsidian.desktop with the following content within /home/$USER/.local/share/applications:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=obsidian
Comment=Run Obsidian
Exec=bash -c ‘/run/media/$USER/Obsidian/squashfs-root/AppRun’ %u
Icon=utilities-terminal
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;
I have run sudo update-desktop-database afterwards.
Now I can open Obsidian by means of an URI’s vault either by using Firefox GUI or the terminal command xdg-open.
Nonetheless I still see two problems:
- Firefox does not open URIs from particular notes. If I copy and past the URI of an Obsidian note within Firefox URL bar, then the corresponding Obsidian vault gets open at the same note I left it the last time I closed it.
- Google-chrome does not even open URIs of vaults. Moreover, there is not popup dialog when I visit this URI addresses from Google-Chrome.
It seems someone else already described the problem with Google-Chrome on the link below:
What I’m trying to do
I am trying to open an Obsidian URI from Google-Chrome.
Thanks
