New Obsidian version and Resizing images issues

Help
1

I currently have Obsidian Version 1.4.13 (Installer 1.3.7) that I’ve just installed. I’ve been using a former version of Obsidian before, and at that time, I could resize images easily following the “Embedding files” help page.

What was working:

![[Capture d’écran 2023-09-26 à 10.46.50.png|500]]

the “|500” part was allowing me to modify the size of my image the way I wanted.

But in the current version of Obsidian, when I include a screenshot (as I always do for months), the code is different:

![](Capture%20d’écran%202023-09-26%20à%2014.49.14.png)

I’ve never seen the “!” before, and If I add a “|500”, nothing happens.
I’ve been trying to modify the code like in the previous version as follow:

![[Capture%20d’écran%202023-09-26%20à%2014.49.14.png|500]] and when I do this, obsidian tells me that “this object has not been create yet”.

I’m wondering what’s going on and why I cannot do something I’ve doing everyday for more than a year now… What’s wrong with the new obsidian version?

Can someone help me solving this issue?

Thanks in advance.

First, you didn’t include backticks around your code, so it wasn’t possible to see your examples. I edited your post to include backticks.

```
Your code here
```

The ![]() syntax is Markdown. [[]] is Wikilinks. Did you uncheck this setting under Files & Links?

In French, the setting is Utiliser les [[Wikilinks]]

The reason it fails is because in Markdown links, spaces automatically become encoded as %20. But you have added that %20 encoding to your Wikilink format, where it is not supported.

![](Your%20File%20Here)
![[Your File Here]] ← Right
![[Your%20File%20Here]] ← Wrong

  1. Check your settings, and make sure to turn Wikilinks back on.
  2. In the broken links, replace %20 with a space.
