I installed the Zettelkasten prefixer and used it to make a few test notes…then I changed some other settings elsewhere in the system, and now the prefixer won’t work at all. It doesn’t even create a note.
I’m on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air
16GB RAM
Big Sur (macOS 11.4)
Obsidian v0.12.19
running sync with two other devices (a 2020 iMac and an Android Pixel 2)
Things I have tried
I’ve tried turning off all other plugins, close/reopen Obsidian, turn prefixer off and on, removed all custom settings for prefixer. I also tried disabling other settings I had tweaked, but I don’t remember exactly what I did (I did too many things).
I can’t find a way to put everything back to default (I searched for default and/or settings, and prefixer), and I’m too new to know what else might be good to try.
I turned the prefixer on in a vanilla test vault and it’s working there, as it was when I first enabled it in the original vault where it quit working. So I gather it’s something about my vault that is messing it up.
Oh yeah, I also tried making notes from different views (like with no note open vs with a note open) and used the icon in the left sidebar as well as a hotkey. Still no joy.
What I’m trying to do
I want to have notes labeled with the date and time when I start, just in case I forget or don’t feel like giving them a title.
