I want to knwo whether is there anyway to disable auto-save, i just don’t want my note be auto-saving, it cause synchronizing traffic problem to me, every single trivial action will triggle the auto-saving, thus my note keep being saved and uploading consistently. It would be better to provide an option to diable/enable auto saving or an option to set auto-saving interval.

Agree - there would be multiple benefits

  • wip work doesn’t get persisted if user doesn’t want it to
  • avoid disk/cloud sync churn

I have also been struggling to work around the autosave feature, since it causes issues with both the system I use for cloud syncing and my development workflow in general (I use Obsidian for a couple code-based projects where I need to be deliberate about when I save updates to the files). Being able to at least configure the interval would be very helpful.

Completely new to Obsidian (0.11.5 on macOS 11.2.3); and really liking it…

May I ask the opposite question, please: How DO I (prompt a) Save - Cmnd+S as I would expect… there is no suggestion in the menus that such an option exists?

TIA!

yes, you can change the shortcuts in the hotkey section of settings.

Got it! Thanks @WhiteNoise. Save was ⌘+S all along :slight_smile:

As I said, I’m new to Obsidian. But really, really liking it. Thanks to everyone.
