Unlinking should unpin linked views

When opening a local graph from a note that is pinned and then unlinking note and local graph, the graph does not change being based on another note when switching to this other note (changing the active note).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a note
  2. Pin the note
  3. Open a local graph for this note via command
  4. Unlink note and local graph
  5. Switch to another note
  6. Switch back to initial note
  7. Unpin note
  8. Switch to another note

Result: The graph continues to be based on the previous pinned note the local graph has been spawned on (in case of step 5 and step 8).

When spawning the local graph on a note that is not pinned you can unlink note and local graph and then switch active not resulting in automatically changing the local graph view.

Expected Behaviour: Whether a note is pinned or not should not result in different behaviours of a local graph spawned on the note.


System information:

  • Kubuntu 22.04
  • Linux Kernel 6.11
  • KDE Plasma 6.1.5
  • Wayland
  • Obsidian 1.6.7 (AppImage)

Problem persists with Obsidian 1.7.4

Thanks.

We had an internal discussion about this and other related topics.
There was a regression as it used to be possible to pin graph/outline/etc while they are in the main working area (even if they are not linked!). We will fix that regression.
When a graph view is pinned, it won’t change to follow the active note.

Regarding your specific workflow, I suggest you to first unpin and then unlink views (not vice versa).

Thanks for the quick response! First unpinning the note and then unlinking note and local graph view works.
