Help me help you. I am a one man show doing this plugin as a part time hobby. There is no point in flooding me with issues, if there are too many, and they are poorly documented, I will just ignore them. Sorry...

Before creating a bug report, please

  1. review recent release notes - maybe there is already an answer,
  2. search issues (including closed ones) to see if there is anything similar.

⚠️ I will have to close all recorded bugs that do not provide this background information. Sorry, I need to control my workload/time. ⚠️

Your environment Please run Command Palette/Show Debug info in Obsidian and paste the result here.

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When I Insert Any File, it briefly shows, but then the content disappears again right after. That essentially means I cannot transclude anything into the drawings. I tried with images, notes, other excalidraw drawings, but it happens every time. I tried with a completely new drawing, and old drawings that I was able to put things into earlier. As far as I can tell, I have not done anything except keeping Excalidraw up to date.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

What I do is just click on "Insert Any File", however, since this is so essential to Excalidraw, I am pretty sure, that you cannot see the error on your side at the moment. As I was really want this to work, however, if you can guide me to give you the correct info for a fix, I would very much appreciate this.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

This feels like a plugin automatically updating the Excalidraw file in the background. Can you reproduce this when Only Excalidraw is enabled?

lsolesen commented 3 months ago

You are right, something is updating the Excalidraw file. I disabled all community plugins, and it still happens. However, I digged a little deeper.

Starting with the Presentation - Fysiologi file:

Obsidian_qK6o5RVzQj

I insert any file. That worked. However, an additional file is created, so I now have two files. Both the Presentation - Fysiologi and a replica Excalidraw file.

Obsidian_R55PiGuIyy

Trying to insert another image in the original file, but now it disappears as in the video.

But inspecting the Excalidraw file, now the inserted image is in that file.

Obsidian_7jZOGRD58H

The original file was originally a markdown, where I used the 'Convert markdown note to Excalidraw Drawing'-action from the command palette.

This has happened on all of the files where I tried to make it work with backside and frontside of card.

lsolesen commented 3 months ago

The two files are attached here, if that makes any difference in finding out what goes on.

I figured out the problem. I was the setting Autoexport as Excalidraw.

Turning this off, made everything work as expected.
