Plugin doesn't recognize pandoc (again)

[semiopat]

Hi. I'm trying Obsidian on macOS 12.4 on a MacBook Pro M1. I quickly installed Pandoc Plugin, as I use pandoc for several other markdown editors and love its conversion abilities. But the plugin can't localize pandoc, even after putting the "which pandoc" terminal command result in the plugin settings, which is /opt/homebrew/bin/pandoc for me (maybe the problem is there ?). I really need it, in order to make obsidian my defaut notes manager.
I posted this on the previous issue * Plugin doesn't recognize pandoc or MacTeX on mac #15*, but realize it was closed. So sorry if I use a wrong way by reopen this issue…

I find a way to fix it.
After some research, it appears that this location of pandoc is provide by panwriter, which I installed for testing. I remove panwriter, which force the dependancies with pandoc, remove pandoc and reinstall from the GitHub package; that works, pandoc is totally recognize by pandoc plugin now.
That means the Pandoc path settings doesn't work good, at least on macOS… maybe the plugin has to expand it's research of pandoc installations ? Asking for a path and using it seems to not work surely.

Hi.
The output I get from 'which pandoc' is 'pandoc not found'...
Running Obsidian Version 0.15.8 (installer 0.14.6), on a mac OS 12.3.1.

Have tried to uninstall / reinstall Pandoc.
(Sorry, I am quite new to this).

Hey @semiopat I am facing the same issue after installing pandoc with brew: my pandoc's path is therefore /opt/homebrew/bin/pandoc but it is not recognized by the Pandoc plugin even when manually overriding the Pandoc path parameter:

It looks like somehow this parameter isn't really used at all. How did you install pandoc this time so that it was then picked up?

Hey @AlFontal : in the end, nothing works for me with Pandoc Plugin (uninstall, install, reinstalle pandoc or the plugin). I just fire Pandoc Plugin, reinstall Pandoc with homebrew, and install Obsidian Enhancing Export Plugin (v1.1.7) instead. It works, no problem.

After add the Pandoc path from which pandoc, /opt/homebrew/bin/pandoc, I turn off and on the extension and the error message went away, exporting works for me.

And that's what worked for me! Thank you @kklot !
