Missing icons on bar when temporary folder doesn't exists

[jmiguelr]

I installed your plugin yesterday and at first sigth it didn't work at all: no icon at any place.

After some research, I saw a message stating that looking at the developer tools page there could be an error about a missing tmp folder. And bingo, that it was. After creating (in my case) /tmp/joplin-excalidraw-plugin everything looks working well (apart from the double-click issue reported at another ticket,

Environment: Linux Mint 21.2 with Cinnamon UI . Joplin 2.12.15, Plugin version: 1.3.0

Thank you very much for your work!

@salehawal, this is what I did:

• I'm using a Mac
• I executed node in a terminal
• then os.tmpdir()
• the output was something like /var/folders/wk/7gc3q6pd6p573wttw34t8lsr0000gq/T
• create a folder called joplin-excalidraw-plugin in the previous directory
• restart joplin
• you should see the icon

still not working, even after creating the temp folder "/tmp/joplin-excalidraw-plugin" @jmiguelr

using ubuntu linux as host

@salehawal, this is what I did:

* I'm using a Mac

* I executed node in a terminal

* then `os.tmpdir()`

* the output was something like `/var/folders/wk/7gc3q6pd6p573wttw34t8lsr0000gq/T`

* create a folder called `joplin-excalidraw-plugin` in the previous directory

* restart joplin

* you should see the icon

yes the icon is visible now, but after creating the image and saving it, it will now be displayed on the draw, only exceldraw icons shows up

and after trying to edit the saved image, the imported image in the drawing is not there anymore?

Same issue here - missing icon- Windows 10, Joplin 2.14.19, Excalidraw 1.4.1. Had to create joplin-excalidraw-plugin folder in my Windows temp directory. Go to the command line - type set to find your temp path.

Mine was C:\Users\(myusername)\AppData\Local\Temp

Create a folder -> C:\Users\(myusername)\AppData\Local\Temp\joplin-excalidraw-plugin

This will fix it

arch linux:

mkdir /tmp/joplin-excalidraw-plugin restart Joplin, works

I have the same issue as @salehawal, on NixOS with the Joplin flatpak. I created the temporary directory, but only the Excalidraw logo gets inserted. Though perhaps this is unrelated..

I seem to have the same issue on linux mint 21.3, now running joplin 3.0.13 Joplin 3.0.13 (prod, linux) joplin-excalidraw: 1.3.0

the "mkdir /tmp/joplin-excalidraw-plugin " didn't work for me
