Use case or problem
My current situation:
- On macOS
Settings > About > Override config folder
is set to.obsidian
- On my iPad
Settings > About > Override config folder
is set to.mobile
- On my iPhone
Settings > About > Override config folder
is set to.iPhone
The .mobile
and .iPhone
folders, are not synced to macOS. The folders simply do not exist in the vault / filesystem.
I therefor assume they are automatically excluded from sync (on other devices.)
This makes it difficult to make changes to the mobile settings, from within macOS, for example with a text editor, etc. when installing / configuring / customizing plugins and themes.
Note that, the .mobile
and .iPhone
folders are also not visible and accessible in the Files app on iPad / iPhone, so you simply cannot access them. This is because they are hidden folders (this cannot be enabled with some setting.)
Proposed solution
Provide an option to sync all the .mobile
/ .iPhone
/ etc. folders to Desktops as well, so the settings can be modified on Desktop computers.
Current workaround (optional)
For example, use a 3th party app like the iSH app to access the hidden folders on iOS.
Cumbersome, but it works.
