If the Obsidian app isn't already opened, this workflow will always open the last recently opened vault. This bug is a known issue with Electron apps on MacOS. See [discussion on Obsidian's Discord](https://discordapp.com/channels/686053708261228577/716028884885307432/755203478413902036). To overcome this limitation (see [#23](https://github.com/hauselin/obsidian-alfred/issues/23)), many commands in this workflow (v0.3.0 onward) try to open a note twice (the second attempt happens 3 seconds after the first attempt), so you'll see two Obsidian notifications.

If your vault is located in your iCloud drive, make sure to add iCloud drive's path to Alfred's default search scope (Features -> Default Results -> Search Scope). [#30](https://github.com/hauselin/obsidian-alfred/issues/30)

If you run into issues configuring this workflow, you can try to manually specify the workflow's environment variables. Navigate to the workflow in Alfred and click the button highlighted below. You should see a list of name-value pairs. For example, `dailyvault` is the name of the variable that keeps track of the value of the path to the vault that contains your daily note. `dailyformat` stores the format of your daily note (e.g., `yyyy-mm-dd`).
