Sorry but this is not about Janitor. If I disable Janitor, always I get the “sharing” menu at obsidian startup on mobile

Have you set a specific note to open by default, and does that note have a period in its name? If so, go the the setting and type .md after the name.

Desktop: Default file to open seems broken

I’ve just found that this problem exists on mobile in the specific case of note names that include periods, in 1.11.5 and previously in 1.11.4. I didn’t test on desktop. Steps to reproduce Name a note 0.Home. Set it as the default note to open. Enable viewing of all file types. Reload the app. Expected behavior Obsidian loads 0.Home. Actual behavior Obsidian loads the last used note and opens the share sheet. In the file browser you’ll see that Obsidian has created a file of type “home” na…

Yes, that’s correct. Actually all my folders start with . . I removed the default note to open and the sharing menu doesn’t start any more, thanks.

Still remaining janitor issue, but i disabled it. At the moment I will use only from desktop.

thanks

You don’t have to remove the default note to start up if you don’t want to. If you manually type".md" at the end of its name in the setting field, it will work correctly.

Also that bug created a junk file named like your default note. See the bug report I linked for details.
