@LEEJOOPIL
Did you download the .md file following this link? Icon Library.excalidraw.md

I think the error message says return is not defined.

I used lcon library.excalidraw.md but still not working...
still return is not defined..

Hi! Any way to automatically set "invert colors"?

I had the same issue as LEEJOOPIL.
Added the script to a new installation with only the bare minimum of community plugins.
The error is "Uncaught SyntaxError: Illegal return statement" and points to this code: if(f!==ea.targetView.file && ea.targetView?.getViewType?.()!=="excalidraw") return;
Removing that line doesn't help either.

This sounds like a plugin is automatically modifying files, e.g. adding some metadata, etc, that creates a syntax error.
Disable other plugins. Delete and re-add the script. Is the error still happening?

Please share the output of command palette "Debug info" so I can see your definition of bare minimum.

Debug Info:
SYSTEM INFO:
Obsidian version: v1.5.12
Installer version: v1.5.3
Operating system: Windows 10 Home 10.0.22631
Login status: not logged in
Insider build toggle: off
Live preview: on
Base theme: dark
Community theme: AnuPpuccin v1.4.5
Snippets enabled: 3
Restricted mode: off
Plugins installed: 1
Plugins enabled: 1
1: Excalidraw v2.2.4

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.

I deleted all plugins except Excalidraw.
Deleted the Icon Library script and Icon Library.md from the vault.
Copied the raw Icon Library script.
Created a new empty drawing
opened the Console
added ea=excalidraw.automate
ea.setview('first')
pasted in the icon library script
and still the same error.
