BUG: We have to configure the device name

[alx-xlx]

Whenever I Apply Customization Sync changes on different devices then it randomly gives me this error and then I am unable to change the device name as the enable button is disabled.

I see there were many fixes released to fix it but none of them solved the issue.

I am using the latest version 0.23.15

When I use the main device to 'select all shiny' and 'apply all' then I get this error

Thank you for opening the issue and sharing the configuration! Sorry for being late in responding and resolving this problem, even though you have been reported for a while now.

Finally, I have realised the problem, thanks to the setting report! I really appreciate you for your cooperation.

At v0.23.17, Enable customization sync will be automatically untoggled, when if the Device name had been lost for some reason while Enable customization sync has been toggled. (I did not realise why it got lost yet, however, the local storage seems sometimes lost).

Would you mind if I ask you to check the behaviour, again, please?

@vrtmrz I check the v0.23.17 and it works the way you said. The Cutomization Sync gets untoggled now. I then have to toggle it back again and everything will be good right ?

[alx-xlx]

The customization sync is very useful, but it just gets too heavy everytime the obsidian is restarted. Is there a good way to perhaps include a lightweight Pause action so that even though the Customization sync is enabled it won't 🔌 Working Customisation items on every obsidian restart. Maybe Resume it whenever we need to sync some settings or so.

Because Enabling "Customization Sync" on each devicce takes too much data and ruins the workflow.

I Stress tested the Customization Sync using 110 Plugins, and it takes a lot of time for progress indicators to finish it work. Is there any way to make it efficient ?
