bug: Obsidian: Doesn't open up last used vault on startup #7406

Description

@Strubbelkopp

Are you following the right branch?

  • My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

When you install Obsidian through programs.obsidian.enable = true; it always opens the startup screen, so you'd have to open up your vault manually every time you start the application, which is quite annoying.
When you install Obsidian with home.packages = with pkgs; [ obsidian ];, it works as expected and opens up your last used vault automatically
