Task notes not showing on hover

[fmartelg]

Given that I have have a task with a note:note.md tag in a todo.txt file in my current workspace, when I hover over the task, then nothing happens. Was expecting a preview of note.md.

Here are the contents of my todo.txt file:

(B) A task note note:note.md
(B) Another task 

--

Here the contents of note.md:

# Test 

This is a note:

    - A
    - B

I have disabled all Extensions globally except todotxt-mode which is enabled globally.

I am running vscode:

Hi @fmartelg, I just tried this locally and it's working for me. Here's a screenshot using your two files:

It looks like we are on identical versions (below) except for macOS vs. Windows (which shouldn't make a difference).

Are you hovering over the note tag or note.md filename? That's what triggers it, not hovering over the task.

A couple of things to check in User Settings under Extensions, todotxt-mode:

• Is the Markdown File Pattern correct? The default is ^.*\.(md|markdown)$
• Is the Todo Filename correct? Default: todo.txt
• Is the Todo File Pattern correct? Default: ^.*\.txt$

Hi @davraamides thank you for the prompt and informative response. I have solved the issue.

Turns out I had, at some point in the past, associated .txt files to markdown in user settings under Files: Associations.

I removed this association and everything worked fine. Sharing as a corner case...
