tp.system.clipboard() not working on child windows on KDE Plasma

[sohanglal]

• OS: Kubuntu 22.10
• Templater version: 1.16.0
• Obsidian version: Obsidian v1.1.15
• Templater settings:

Describe the bug tp.system.clipboard() is not working on the child windows but it is working on the main window.

It throws the error: plugin:templater-obsidian:61 Templater Error: Template parsing error, aborting. Read permission denied.

I ran ./Obsidian-1.1.15.appimage in my terminal. It throws the error Blocked permission request about:blank clipboard-read.

Workaround that I am using:

const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;
const url = String(execSync("xclip -o -sel clip"))

Using the command line to fetch clipboard cotents

Thanks for raising the issue, am having the same problem in the child windows. I am working with same versions of Templator and Obsidian on the OS - NixOS 22.11.2651.e19f25b587f (Raccoon).

For me it works with both windows and ubuntu 22.04. No issues. I have the same obsidian and templater version as mentioned

I do not have any special templater settings beside setting a default folder

Hey can you confirm if you are running it in the child or main window.

On Ubuntu, how did you install obsidian, via snap, flatpak, appimage or .deb?

I'm sorry. I should have added that I use appimage on Ubuntu

I tested the same on Windows 10 and the problem doesn't seem to be there. Thanks for helping out @ItsWuotan @PulakshG, can you confirm if your DE is KDE plasma, because that is the DE that I have, and I hypothize that is what is maybe causing the issue

[TuringTrails]

yes I am using KDE, sorry shouldve mentioned earlier. Can you update here if you find any solution. Thank you

I have reverted to using Obsidian v1.1.9, installed via AppImage. It is working fine on the older version

const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;
const url = String(execSync("xclip -o -sel clip"))

Also, I had to re-install templater to get it working again
