Slows down Emacs when doing obsidian-follow-link-at-point and sometimes create new file while the file already exists in Obsidian Vault.

[suliveevil]

I have these files in Obsidian Vault:

status

主题/文件对比.md
callout_test.md
test.md

What's in test.md

[[文件对比]]

What's in 文件对比.md

[[test]]

problem

When I was in test.md, obsidian-follow-link-at-point creates a new file under Vault instead goto 主题/文件对比.md.
When I was in 主题/文件对比.md, obsidian-follow-link-at-point list two option in minibuffer:

callout_test.md
test.md

Instead of goto test.md.

Similar to what this PR mentions:

#32

Hi, thanks for reporting!
What's the package version you have?

[suliveevil]

obsidian.el: 20221102.1643

Emacs Version 29.0.50 (9.0)

[suliveevil]

upgrade to 20221110.1824
Problems remains.

[licht1stein]

Probably a unicode problem. Can you zip a test folder structure with these files and attach it here?

[suliveevil]

It seems GitHub issue page didn't support zip files, I uploaded a repo as a minimal Obsidian Vault.

https://github.com/suliveevil/test/releases/tag/0.0.1

The only characters Obsidian doesn't allow to use are:

\/|:#*^[]

regexp: [^\\/|:#*^[\]]

These characters are fine:

+{;"=?~()<>&$

@suliveevil I've seen you forked the repo, are you working on a fix?

I'm Emacs noob 😂

I'm probably experiencing the same issue.

I have a file called Reading MOC that lives in Atlas/MOCs/ in my vault. Also, I use a Home note that has a link to it link: [[Reading MOC]].

obsidian-follow-link-at-point insists on creating a new file.

When I try obsidian-insert-wikilink it creates the link as [[Atlas/MOCs/Reading MOC]]. That works for new links but is not compatible with mostly any link in my current vault, as I have a pretty semantic folder structure aside from making heavy use of links.

Using Emacs 28.2 and obsidian package 20221115.1143 from melpa.

It seems to be related to #25, as it found many files with broken YAML headers on my vault (my bad, my citations plugin template was incorrect).

EDIT: It's not. I fixed all YAML headers, and the problem persists.

[licht1stein]

It's supposed to find a file by a simple link, not create a new one. I'll look into it as soon as I have time.

Hey! I'm having a similar problem right now where I cannot follow any wiki links or markdown links that are nested within some directory when using obsidian-follow-*-link-at-point.

I am currently on emacs version GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin22.4.0, Carbon Version 169 AppKit 2299.5) using the obsidian package from melpa.
