Additional information

My Obsidian vault is located at ~/Documents/Obsidian Vault, with which “Open in Finder” does not work. But in the vault manager window, “Reveal vault in Finder” in the right click menu works fine. And for another vault location such as ~/Desktop/test, “Open in Finder” works fine.

Is it working in the Sandbox Vault? On macOS: Help → Open Help → Open Sandbox Vault.

If so, something’s off about your vault. Disable plugins (Setings → Community Plugins → Restricted mode) and switch to the default theme and try again.

Sandbox Vault works fine. Disabling plugins and swiching to the default theme doesn’t work. Removing .obsidian directory doesn’t work too. But moving my vault out of ~/Documents makes it work.

Do you use some sync service, Dropbox or iCloud?

In addition to what @Zarconoris asked - if you use iCloud drive, is “Desktop & Documents Folders” sync checked? If so, try unchecking it.

It works fine after upgrading to version 1.1.15.
