Is it meant to create databases for sites with Facebook widgets?

Okay, so this is a weird one. Every time I run a link to a page with an embedded Facebook widget in it, a database is created in the Obsidian config directory. In the example below, aresaflowers.com, helstonrailway.co.uk and (I guess) youtube.com are the ones I mean:

laura@lauralaptop:~/.var/app/md.obsidian.Obsidian/config/obsidian/IndexedDB$ ls -hl
total 0
drwx------ 1 laura laura 152 Apr 15 19:28 app_obsidian.md_0.indexeddb.leveldb
drwx------ 1 laura laura 112 Apr 15 14:48 app_static.obsidian.md_0.indexeddb.leveldb
drwx------ 1 laura laura  78 Apr  1 01:40 https_www.arenaflowers.com_0.indexeddb.leveldb
drwx------ 1 laura laura  92 Apr 15 21:58 https_www.helstonrailway.co.uk_0.indexeddb.leveldb
drwx------ 1 laura laura  98 Apr  1 01:31 https_www.youtube.com_0.indexeddb.leveldb

Is that expected behaviour? I've tested by watching the timestamps update by going to helstonrailway.co.uk and it definitely happens when I run "paste and auto fetch title".

Here is the top of one of the log files inside the database directory above:

laura@lauralaptop:~/.var/app/md.obsidian.Obsidian/config/obsidian/IndexedDB/https_www.helstonrailway.co.uk_0.indexeddb.leveldb$ cat 000003.log

Infuriatingly, I can't replicate this in the sandbox vault with just your plugin installed. And yet, if I use my main vault with all plugins disabled except this one, and with the default theme, the phenomenon still occurs! Weird!

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Hi Laura, Which version of this plugin are you running in each of the vaults?

[claremacrae]

Also in your main vault when you disable plugins, do you close all notes and then restart obsidian? Some plugin changes don’t take effect until after note re-opening or Obsidian re-opening, as I understand it.

Hiya Clare. 1.2.5 on both. Yes, I restarted. Hmm... :)
