Steps to reproduce
Both paths are encoded properly but the example is not showing this for simplicity
This works
osascript -e "open location \"obsidian://new?path=path/to/vault/test.md\""
This one doesn’t work
osascript -e "open location \"obsidian://new?path=path/to/vault/subfolder/test.md\""
Expected result
Both works (and be consistent with how path works with open), from the docs both should behave similarly
path a globally absolute path. Works similar to the path option in the open action, which will override both vault and file.
Actual result
vault/test.md is createdvault/subfolder/test.md not created
Environment
- Operating system: macOS 11.3
- Obsidian version: 0.11.13
Additional information
is obsidian already open when you run these scripts?
I tried when it was open & when it was closed. Same result.
Is that even allowed to put full paths in there? I remember from a Desktop starter I created to make new notes inside an “Inbox” folder that it should look like so:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=New Inbox Note
Exec=sh -c 'xdg-open "obsidian://new?vault=Schreiben&file=+Inbox/$(date +"%%Y-%%m-%%d %%H.%%M").md"'
Comment=Creates a new date/time-stamped inbox note in Obsidian
Terminal=false
Icon=obsidian
Type=Application
This works, in any case.
@WhiteNoise
Yes, the subfolder exists.
Here is a demo with a new clean vault
@Moonbase59 accroding to the docs Using obsidian URI if you use path with open or new you don’t need vault or file. And it already works consistently with open but not with new.
Gave it a quick one from the terminal in Linux Mint 20.1/Cinnamon, Obsidian/AppImage 0.11.13, Installer 0.10.11:
xdg-open "obsidian://new?path=/home/matthias/Dokumente/Schreiben/xyzzy.md"
works,
xdg-open "obsidian://new?path=/home/matthias/Dokumente/Schreiben/+Inbox/xyzzy1.md"
doesn’t work.
So I see the same behaviour as you do.
