SL not loading on Obsidian startup

[isedwinr]

Hi, not a big issue but just to let you know

When starting/opening Obsidian, the SL plugin does not load automatically. Also the SL settings do not show up in the Style Settings Plugin Only after opening (without any action taken) the SL plugin starts and also shows again in the styl;e settings

Turned off other (external) plugins to see if they conflict but nothing changed Obsidian v0.16.5 on Windows 10

This would be fixed by #143. For now, I would suggest using the PR author's patch fork. You can do this by manually installing or with BRAT. LMK if you need help

I didn't realise this caused SL not to load. I'm on vacation so i can't build the plugin until next week...

@franciskafieh Hi sorry for writing a comment late, but I would like help with this. I installed BRAT within Obsidian, then tried to "Add Beta plugin": https://github.com/dsummersl/obsidian_supercharged_links I got the error "The release is not complete and cannot download. main.js is missing from the Release." Are you able to help? Thank you

the link to the repo used in the PR (#143) should be https://github.com/johanfriis/obsidian_supercharged_links

I used that URL and I got the same error message. I even tried to make a fork and add a release, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions? Thank you.

whoops, my bad, forgot how BRAT worked lol. I mean you could always just build the main.js file yourself and simply replace the one that is in your .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-supercharged-links (or whatever it's called) folder.

Steps to build main.js:

(node.js and git as pre-requisites)

1. git clone https://github.com/johanfriis/obsidian_supercharged_links to clone the project locally
2. cd obsidian_supercharged_links
3. npm i (wait for it to finish installing dependencies)
4. npm run build (once done, it will produce a main.js file in this project folder that you can use to replace your exisiting main.js file.

also, if @johanfriis has time, they could add a release to their fork for people to use BRAT with for now. author of this plugin still seems to be AWOL

P.S. the reason that BRAT doesn't work even if you make your own release is that the main.js in the fork repo is no different from the one in this repo. it has not been re-built. if you have any trouble building, lmk and i'll just upload the main.js here

Thank you, this worked. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the startup problem. I may tinker around with it some more, but I am probably just going to wait.

Any updates on this? The patch didn't work for me also, and there hasn't been changes for months.
