Settings/Hidden file sync
Okay, so the behavior of both Hidden file
sync and Customization
sync is not specified anywhere.
And I was messing around just trying to sync 1 singular file, to then scale to all of the ones I wanted, but this seemed like a real challenge.
Customization sync
Okay so with customization sync, I set it up with this series of steps:
- Check that hidden file sync is disabled
- Set a device name unique to each device
- Enable customization sync
- Enable
Scan customization automatically
- Open the
Customization sync dialog
- Set all the available options to ignore except for
.obsidian/bookmarks.json
, which I set to automatic,Overwrite remote
Now I do the exact same setup on another device except I select Overwrite local
for that last one option. Now I change the bookmarks, and I try:
- Replicating in both devices (does not sync)
- Open
Customization sync dialog
, replicate there (does not sync) - Click all the other buttons from the
Customization sync dialog
(does not sync)
So after that I just give up
Hidden file sync
Set it up with this steps:
- Check that customization sync is disabled
- Add
^(?!\.obsidian\/bookmarks\.json).*$
as a pattern, so it matches everything but the file I want - Fetch the hidden files
I do the same on a second device. But now, instead of not working at all, it works 1% of the time. So after setup, I might change it in once device, replicate in both, it does change, but then when I try to modify it again it stops working.
Objectives
Either documentation, or how can I help as a dev myself.
