Attempting to create new workspace overwrites another workspace

[ParkerRobb]

Describe the bug I followed the instructions to create a new workspace by typing the name in the popup and pressing shift+enter, but when I do that it does not create a new workspace but instead overwrites the first workspace on the list alphabetically.

This had the effect of overwriting another workspace I had spent a lot of time customizing. I am not happy about losing that.

I cannot find any other way to create a new workspace.

To Reproduce

1. Click the Workspaces Plus status bar item.
2. Type in a name for a new workspace.
3. Press shift+enter.

Expected behavior A new blank workspace with the new name should be created.

It should NOT overwrite an existing workspace!

Here's a screenshot that shows different behavior than described in #33:

• I made a test, and I replicated the same problem. I could observe the plugin ignores what is typed and consider what is highlighted. The workaround would be to save the new workspace using the native plugin.

• to avoid losing time rebuilding workspaces, save the file "workspaces.json" located in .obsidian (workspace.json, without the "s" is related to other layouts like the left ribbon)

I was able to find a backup of .obsidian and restored all files starting with workspace*.

Can confirm this is still happening. At the moment I don't see any way to create a new workspace.

Hi everyone, sorry for the inconvenience. You might consider updating to the workspaces plus beta version. I just tested this issue on a test vault and the problem is appearing on the main release but not the beta version. Search in the community plugin browser for brat, then run the command "add a beta plugin for testing" and put this repository's url: https://github.com/nothingislost/obsidian-workspaces-plus

Please make a backup of your workspaces.json file as I do not know if updating to the beta version will affect it at all.

I am currently working on an update to the commander plugin, but will redirect my attention here to workspaces soon after.

This works for me :+1: Thank you.

Hi, Why is there still no release for this fix?
