Problem with exported Backlinks

[secure-77]

Hi,

first of all thank you for this great plugin! I`am using this in my solution Perlite to build the graph.

Unfortunately I have a strange problem with some backlinks. It seams that this problem is related to similar file names but I cant confirm this finally.

The exporter create backlinks to other files, where no backlink exists, also these backlings switches sometimes from one md to another, without doing any changes.

Check this example from the metadata.json.

"fileName": "WriteUp",
    "relativePath": "WriteUps/TryHackMe/Skynet/WriteUp.md",
    "backlinks": [
      {
        "fileName": "_Windows Priv Esc",
        "link": "WriteUp",
        "relativePath": "OFFSEC Notes/Windows Related/_Windows Priv Esc.md",
        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/TryHackMe/Alfred/WriteUp"
      },
      {
        "fileName": "WinRM SSL Authentication",
        "link": "WriteUp",
        "relativePath": "OFFSEC Notes/Windows Related/WinRM SSL Authentication.md",
        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/HackTheBox/Timelapse/WriteUp"
      },
      {

        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/TryHackMe/Alfred/WriteUp"

      },
      {
        "fileName": "LDAP",
        "link": "WriteUp",
        "relativePath": "OFFSEC Notes/Databases/LDAP.md",
        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/HackTheBox/Pikaboo/WriteUp"
      },
      {
        "fileName": "Perl",
        "link": "WriteUp",
        "relativePath": "OFFSEC Notes/BASIC Fundamentals/Perl.md",
        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/HackTheBox/Pikaboo/WriteUp"

      {

        "displayText": "../../WriteUps/HackTheBox/Static/WriteUp"
      }
    ]
  },

But actually there are no Backlinks to this file:

Thanks for looking into this!

Could you show me the output for one of the files that is supposed to have a link to that file? The backlinks are calculated from the paths of the links. I resolve their paths with an Obsidian API method, so I don’t understand why it would point to another file of that name.

If you attach a vault without any private data in which you can reproduce the bug (just a vault with a couple of files so that it’s easy to test/debug), I can take a look.

Nevermind... I found the problem, it seams that I had a really old version of the plugin installed, thought plugins will auto update, but this was not the case.

After updating to the latest version everything is fine and the backlinks are gone.

Sorry for the Issue and thank you for the help. I will close this issue.
