Trying to make this run on Windows

Hello, Jayden.

I have been trying for several hours to make your extended functionality for BookStack-Obsidian work without success.

First I did not understand that the software should be installed on the desktop where Obsidian runs. I installed on the Bookstack server. Then, going through the setup and reading the documentation I realized that the code runs locally and connects to the server.

My question is whether your application may be expected to work while Obsidian is on a Windows PC? I am reading the error messages and I guess that this specifically points to the fact that this may work when Obsidian runs on MacOS or Linux, but not Windows.

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/home/None/.config/obsidian_to_bookstack/data'

Did you ever figure this out? Trying to figure out what issue I might experience when deploying this. Thanks.

I believe it is by design - if you use Obsidian on a Linux desktop or a Mac then it may work. The way this plugin in written it would not work on Windows.

That's unfortunate to hear. I wonder how a sync from Windows to Linux would work, via Obsidian Sync or GitHub, and then push to BookStack.
