Not sure what I'm doing wrong as this plugin is not working for me

[DataSciLearner]

Hi, This plugin doesn't seem to be working for me. It brings up the context menu with folders but doesn't create any new file when I add any new words. It doesn't create a new file when I simply type @new note either. I did restart Obsidian after installing the plugin. Can you kindly help resolve this? Regards.

I will see what I can do. Can you give me the following information:

• Obsidian version
• Plugin version
• What device are you running Obsidian on

I would also like you to enable the Obsidian console and copy any messages shown when you try to add a new file. You enable the console by using the hotkey cmd+ option + i on Mac or ctrl + shift + i on Windows. If you are using a mobile device or tablet, I'm not sure how to show the console so in that case I can live without the console information.

I know it is been quite long, but I'm having a similar issue. Here's what I got: Obsidian version: v1.1.14 Plugin version. v1.3.3 Running on MacOS

@aeluabik from the log lines it looks like the issue is related to the auto-note-mover plugin. Could you try to disable that plugin and see if notes then are created? If it is possible to create notes with that plugin disabled I can try to investigate why the two plugins don't work together.

@SimonTC I did it and it still didn't work. Let me describer the problem better: when I type the character to create a list, it allows me to create one when I type one word; when adding more words, it stops working. If it is not too annoying, I'd like to ask you to add an option for link auto creation when using normal [[]] md link creation. Also, if it could check for the links without notes inside the vault, would be great, because I reference multiple stuff out of obsidian (using readwise for example) and I wish they would be auto-created

UPDATE: it was an issue with Various complements plugin, disabling it solved the problem. I don't mind keeping various complements at all... anyways, if you could add these 2 features asked above, I'd be very happy

It is unfortunately not possible to override the functionality of link insertion using [[]] md link creation. I originally tried to hook into that functionality, but there is no API for me to do it. That is why Note Auto Creator has to use a separate character. You could change the trigger for link insertion to [, but since [ is a reserved symbol in markdown I think it would bring more trouble than it is worth.

if it could check for the links without notes inside the vault, would be great If I understand correctly, then the plugin actually already can suggest links without notes and create the notes if you reference that link. This functionality is controlled by the setting Suggest existing links to notes that do not exist.

UPDATE: it was an issue with Various complements plugin I just tried enabling the Various complements plugin and I couldn't see the issue you are describing. I was using default settings, so that might be why. I think you should be able to add the Note Auto Creation trigger (default @) to the list of First characters to disable suggestions in Various complements to maybe help the issue you were seeing. That way there is a bigger chance that Various complements won't take control.
