Multiple copies of same link (probably when created by uri)

[mediapathic]

Frequently, but not consistently, I will get multiple copies of the same link. This seems to happen most often when I use an obsidian uri to create the file from an external application. I'm 90% sure that is what is triggering this behavior, however I won't rule out the possibility that I may be missing some cases.

The way this usually happens is by using a javascript bookmarklet, which I reproduce here in case there are any relevant details:

javascript:(function(){  const title = document.title;         const file = title.replaceAll(/[^\w]/ig, '-').replaceAll(/[_-]+/g, '-'); const selectedText = window.getSelection().toString(); const url = document.location.href; const tag = '#bookmark';%20const%20content%20=%20%60#%20${title}%20${selectedText%20!=%20%22%22%20?%20%60${%22\n%22}%20%3E%20${selectedText.replaceAll(%22\n%22,%20%22\n%3E%20%22)}%60%20:%20%22%22}%20${%22\n\n%22}%20-%20[${title}](${url})%20${%22\n\n%22}%20${tag}%60;%20document.location.href%20=%20%60obsidian://new?name=${encodeURIComponent(file)}&content=${encodeURIComponent(content)}&vault=org-zettel%60%20})();

While I'm here, please allow me to say thank you as well for this plugin, it has solved a problem I've been fighting with for some time now. Feel free to ping me if I can provide further information.

to be honest, reading that script isn't going to help me much... i should have added a debug mode to the plugin a long time ago. do you have discord by any chance? if not, we can work this out here, but it's just quicker over discord

[mediapathic]

Sure thing. I'm mediapathic#4594 over there, I'm also in the obsidian discord where you can ping me by this name. Caveat though, I may be unresponsive at times due to work stuff.

Before I add the bug tag, have you tested this in a vault with no other plugins?

I've had this a few times - would be great to maybe combine with this as a sorted/de-duplicated list.

shouldn't need to if my link-checking function would work.... do you happen to know when links are duplicated for you?

[talios]

@franciskafieh not 100% sure - will do some more testing. I have a suspicion it's when I open Obsidian on my iPhone ( using iCloud sync ) - it seems (anecdotally from memory) to trigger a lot of page modification notifications (possibly due to the sync) which then get written out.

I seem to get issues with the my daily notes page being duplicated - and named "yyyy-dd-mm 2" "yyyy-dd-mm 3" - and they all seem to get the same set of modified notes ( I have the option to automatically create the daily note enabled ).

I'll do some more testing in the morning and see I can trigger it.

If it's an issue with icloud, i unfortunately can't do much unfortunately...

debug info from @mediapathic ...

on first event call, after link is inserted, daily note contains link

on second event call, after link is interested, daily note contains 2 links

which means the program is aware that the link is already there. can conclude that there is an issue with the fileIsLinked function. will see what i can do when i have time...

[franciskafieh]

Although it works every other time.... super weird... could be an issue with metadata cache not being updated before link is inserted again

[Triquetra]

Just came here to report this bug. I'm also experiencing it, but I haven't discerned a pattern, yet.

[franciskafieh]

Can someone test if this still happens in 2.0? (pre-release, need to install manually or via BRAT)

[franciskafieh]

Oops, that was a mistake 😅

[franciskafieh]

Going to close this issue because it's stale but feel free to re-open if the issue still occurs on the beta 2.0.x
