@globcoco Oh one other question: You wrote 'file_s_' have been messed up. Can you specify this? All files, just the files you edited since <date/time> or else? Just being curious. 😏

What I mean by that is, the titles are not corresponding with the body.

For example, say I wrote a note on "Water", what appear on the note, is from another note.

Or "Goal of the month" has the body of the "Water" file.

Mind you, sometimes, it appears to be empty.

@globcoco Can you check something then? All notes are stored as .md files on your file system in the Obsidian Vault. Open two or three files with a standard text editor (notepad, not Word*), which seem to be messed up and check the contents.

* If I am too detailed and you know the technical background, please let me know, it's not my intent to man-splain, I just assumed your 'technical knowledge'-level.

@globcoco If the files you open with the editor are broken as well, it would be an issue with Obsidian (or one of the plugins), since SyncThing never changes something in a file, it always copies the whole file.

If it copies the files everytime, is it not taking on a lot of resources to do so?

@globcoco No, since the notes are very small. It is only text, so most files will mot take more than ~20 kB tops. If you embed pictures, these will be sync individually.

@globcoco One of my folder with ~1000 notes takes about 12 MB on my file system. This should be synced within seconds, depending on the network

Niiiiiice!!!

@ConLuegering 👍

I tried that on my phone and it does not work and yes they are in .md file format

@globcoco Pick any random .md file, copy it to a different place outside your vault and rename it from <original name>.md to <original name>.txt

With that your mobile will try to open it with a text editor, so you can check it's contents.

I downloaded a text editor .md

Without changing anything. It works

It was a success without changing it to .text.

You said it but I forgot.

If it works, what does it mean again?

@globcoco if the renamed md files are correct (header and body fit) the core data is fine. And the issue seems to be with Obsidian. Do you use any plugins and share the names?

Try to find one other for android.

Any sufgestion are welcomes, in regard of a md editor

@globcoco iA Writer is great but expensive. If you check the F-Droid store (and open source alternative app store, you will find plenty (see first screenshot).

On the official play store are also a few, have nothing tested here (second screenshot).
