Homepage-specific viewing mode no longer works
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Details
Basically what it says here. No matter what settings used for the homepage viewing mode it always opens in the obsidian default. I'm on version 3.6.0 of Homepage, and 1.4.16 of Obsidian. Bug occurs on both my Archlinux pacman install and on the Ubuntu snap.

Can’t reproduce this. What other plugins do you have? This can be obtained via the ‘show debug info’ obsidian command.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
Thanks for sending me this. Unfortunately, I still can't get the behaviour to happen. If you disable your other plugins does it still persist?
It does. I wouldn't think it's the specific nature of the homepage itself (it's just a couple of dataview tables), but I can send that as well if you'd like. Additionally, here's the output from the Homepage debug button:
{"version":3,"homepages":{"Main Homepage":{"value":"home","kind":"File","openOnStartup":true,"openMode":"Replace all open notes","manualOpenMode":"Replace last note","view":"Reading view","revertView":true,"openWhenEmpty":false,"refreshDataview":true,"autoCreate":true,"autoScroll":false,"pin":false,"commands":[],"alwaysApply":true,"hideReleaseNotes":true}},"separateMobile":false,"_defaultViewMode":"default","_livePreview":true,"_focusNewTab":true,"_plugins":["homepage"],"_internalPlugins":["file-explorer","global-search","switcher","graph","backlink","canvas","outgoing-link","tag-pane","page-preview","daily-notes","templates","note-composer","command-palette","editor-status","bookmarks","zk-prefixer","outline","word-count","audio-recorder","file-recovery"],"_obsidianVersion":"1.4.16"}
Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure how to get at the obsidian logs themselves, or the plugins logs- any pointers there?
No logs apparently, but I found this in the developer console:
Homepage: home (method: Replace all open notes, view: Reading view, kind: File)
Notably this is after the homepage still opened in editing mode.
That last message is normal. Thanks for sending me all the info though, I’ll see if I can reproduce it now.
Is your actual homepage file called 'Home' with an uppercase 'H'? I can reproduce this when the setting is set to 'home' with a lowercase h but the file has an uppercase one.
Basically, Homepage treats these as the same for opening files but the view reversion functionality treats them as different. So when it checks if the file is the homepage to see if the view should be reverted, 'Home' != 'home'. I'm aware that Linux is case sensitive but Homepage uses Obsidian's link resolution logic which AFAIK is the same on all platforms.
If this is indeed the issue, changing 'home' to 'Home' should solve your problem, but I'll push a fix as well.
That was the issue, changing the file to 'Home' fixed it.
