Indexing Large Number of Files - Still Not Working

[rigmarole]

@gda

I have seen lots of notes asking about a file limit but so far, I haven’t seen any answer to those questions.

Maximum Number of Notes in Vault

We stress tested against 20k Markdown files (found here: https://github.com/Zettelkasten-Method/10000-markdown-files), and it works okay on a relatively fast desktop computer. We’ve done extensive optimization on file explorer and search, but the initial loading and processing could take some time for sure. Haven’t seen real-world cases that would require more, unless you want to for example display Wikipedia inside Obsidian.

What’s your use-case, if I may ask? It’s none of my business, I’m not a dev. I’m just asking out of curiosity.
