I am trying to use the web clipper add-on to create notes from web pages, which uses Obsidian URI. I am on Void Linux with Wayland and am using Obsidian as an AppImage and Firefox (Librewolf) as a Flatpak.
When I use the web clipper, it creates a new note with the correct title, but there is nothing in the body, despite the add-on showing that there was body text to save.
I have tried using the web clipper as System Handler, as the .desktop file, and as the AppImage directly.
This is my obsidian.desktop, I have tried with and without —uri and all other arguments:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Obsidian
Exec=/home/finder/AppImages/obsidian.appimage --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --no-sandbox --uri %u
Icon=/home/finder/AppImages/.icons/obsidian.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=obsidian
X-AppImage-Version=1.10.6
Comment=Obsidian
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/obsidian;
Categories=Office;
X-AppImage-Version=1.10.6
Path=
StartupNotify=false
I have also tried running xdg-open “obsidian://new?title=Test&body=testing” and that creates a new note but it is untitled and has no body content.
