On Obsidian Desktop, using v0.12.13. Trying to see “my previous versions” of a file when using the three dot menu in the open file I notice that the center pane remains consistently empty for all files, i.e. I can copy nothing into the clipboard and no previous versions are visible.
Accessing the “Restore Data” option from the settings (View> Choose file) with the same file I can see that there are several versions of it, I can choose any of them as expected, their content appears in the center pane and I can copy it to the clipboard – all is well.
Have no custom CSS installed and tried the described procedure with all 3rd party Plugins disabled. Any ideas?
Sorry, bad backtranslation on my part from a non-English version. I’m speaking of the file recovery function. The menu-point under … is called “View version history” in the English version. The sidebar (where I’d expect the versions to appear) stays empty, the center pane (where the content should appear) likewise; this is the case for all my files.
If I check the very files (any one of them) via Prefs>File Recovery>View>{{filename}} all the previous versions are visible and I can copy their content to the clipboard.
My snapshot interval is 5 min, my history length is 7 days.
Expected behaviour would be that in both cases the previous versions are visible and their content accessible.
Ok - got it. Switched off the sync plug-in (which I don’t use) and indeed the button in … disappears. Was fixated on having access to file recovery via the three-dot menu – wishful thinking and possibly because panel and sidebar look the same in both plug-ins. Thanks for helping to clear this up.
