PS the reason I went URL instead of save to file is that my obsidian vault is on iCloud and couldn’t get the bookmark thing to work as it kept asking for permissions…
Bookmarks should prompt for folder selection/permissions once per device you use a named Bookmark. Is that not what you are seeing? If so, I’d love a bug report with details. There are things that could require the permissions to reset (folder being moved, etc.), but it should not be regularly re-authing.
Not sure how you are constructing and using this URL. If in an Open URL action step, just turn on the “Encode tags” option in the step and it will URL encode the results of your template tags for you. Or, if you doing this in script, wrapping a {{ }} (as @sylumer notes) is template markup for
“URL encode this text”.
If you are constructing URLs for the “Open URL” step, it’s sometimes handy to use “Define Template Tag” steps to create tags for the different parameter values, and let the “Encode Tags” option on the URL step do the encoding. Makes it easier to define parameters, like the filepath in your example. Example of use in this Bear action.
@agiletortoise , this is the error I get when adding a bookmark:
do I need to manually use the CLI to change permissions on the folder? in any case happy to send a bug report if needed (where do I file the bug report to?)
You should get that dialog, and you do need to select the folder in the prompt that follows. Are you saying it does not remember that permission in subsequent uses of the Bookmark on that device? It should. If it doesn’t, do you have some other process that manipulates that folder, possibly resetting permissions or similar?
I set up the same file and directory structure in my demo vault (obsidian_demo), the same URL (with a revised vault name) you used worked fine for me. Each time it appended the body of the draft (content without the title), to the vault.
Regarding your permissions issue, when did you last reboot the device you are testing on, and what happens if you choose a different folder path as a test?
I am using pmbauer “Move to Obsidian” action but cannot make the APPEND action to work. I want new drafts to append to an existing Obsidian note (always the same note). Is not working. I get a new, separate, Obsidian note created each time I run the action.
pmbauer callback URL back is:
obsidian://new?append=yes&name=[[name]]&content=[[content]]
I would normally expect a Boolean parameter to conventionally use true rather than yes. Try amending that for the append parameter and see if that changes the behaviour.
