I think there is a bug on Win10 build, only one of my files got it’s data wiped out. Now the entire thing shows “\u0” instead of what I wrote. The only thing that was different was that there was alot of content there.
Steps to reproduce
Have a large file with many sections, press Ctrl+S, exit the program, shut down your computer.
Expected result
Save and Exit.
Actual result
File Corrupted, all data in the last opened file is gone and replaced with “\u0”
I confirm the existence of this bug. At first I thought it was my bad but then I got suspicious and decided to check the forum.
I think it was version 0.11.0 or 0.11.1 - the one that was the latest for the 13th of February. I was on a long flight with no Internet access, was working on a large file (around 15 KB) when suddenly my laptop’s battery ran out.
Back on the ground I checked the file that I worked on, it had my 15 KB of text all replaced with \u0. Since the file was created on a plane, no cloud copies remained.
Please look into this issue ASAP. Very dangerous stuff, several hours of work lost.
Plugins, Core: all except for Zettelkasten prefixer, Slides, Audio recorder and Sync.
Plugins, Community: Mind Map 1.1.0.
I don’t have Advanced Tables or Markdown prettifier.
It turned off suddenly because the battery got drained. With several hours of edits however, I’m sure Obsidian had saved the file a number of times before that happened.
i didnt lost much and i thought it was because of the checklist plugin which got disabled around that time. i got these red marks too. I am using a lot of plugins tho (including advanced tabled and markdown prettifier).
I dont know anymore how that happend though. I think it happend on Linux (i use both windows 10 and linux thats why i am not sure anymore)
But that’s kind of the schtick though isn’t it? I got it for the offline mode. Else I can just as well use vscode with markdown prettifier plugin, which is what I do at work.
Yeah, kind of nonsense, I was disappointed too. But then - hey - we use a beta version of the program at our own risk. I’m sure the guys will find out the reason.
