Same here. After osetup, it tries to open the Daily Note file without specifying what Vault to use.

Same issue.

Same issue, change od URL to "obsidian://open?vault={var:valut_name_ENC}&file={var:daily_note_path}/{query}.md" works for me

[TimS-ml]

And change od append to daily note {query}.md to "open?vault={var:valut_name_ENC}&file={var:daily_note_path}/{query}.md"

[Miaoyifei-mz]

Just like this? obsidian://open?vault={Md%20%E6%96%87%E6%A1%A3}&file={3-%E6%97%A5%E8%AE%B0%2F}/{query}.md

But it doesn't work for me. @TimS-ml

I change obsidian URL in daily note path.

Hi everyone, sorry for the late response, had to work on other repos I maintain.

Since I do not use daily notes myself and cannot properly maintain the feature, I unfortunately have to remove the daily notes functionality (it has been deprecated for a while now). I simply don't find the time maintaining features that I do not use myself, but are time-intensive to work on. Especially since I am the sole maintainer of multiple repos.

I encourage you to check out the Alfred workflow for Obsidian by hauselin, which focuses on daily notes and complements this workflow well.

As a sidenote, I fixed an issue caused by users migrating their Alfred 4 workflow settings, in case you did:

@chrisgrieser I was hoping to find support for daily notes over at the extension you referenced, however it appears that repo hasn't had any updates in over three years and according to recent issues in the repo, it looks like there are some problems with working with daily notes in that workflow. I'm wondering if you're aware of any other workflows out there that are still maintained which support daily notes as this is a hugely useful feature to many.

I understand it is not one that you use, and thus does not make sense to implement it, but I do feel that if there was at least a basic level of functionality that could be added to Shimmering Obsidian, even something as basic as opening the most recently created file in a given folder(which is how most people have daily notes configured, with a dedicated folder for the daily notes which new notes are created in as days go by), it would open the door to many people who are relying on the now unmaintained obsidian-alfred workflow.
