Disable auto-save or change frequency

Use case or problem Paradoxically the auto-save feature is something that makes it much more likely to lose data than not having auto-save. I’m always anxious when I move text between files, thinking “let’s just hope the app won’t crash now”. After using Obsidian for 2 months, I finally lost a note to this. Instead of hitting Ctrl+X, I hit X, didn’t notice, moved to a new document and I couldn’t paste the data. I go back to the previous file, there’s an ‘x’ in place of the notes, it was auto-sa…

Same question here. I would like Obsidian NOT to auto-save my work. I worked hours yesterday on a text on my iPad. When I opened the file today on my laptop, it hadn’t been updated yet. I closed it and when I came back later, both the iPad and laptop had replaced my new work with the older file version. Had it not been for auto-save on the laptop, this would not have happened.

so one of the reason why i also want this is because my notes are in an encrypted space so the auto save thing isnt helping much

[obsidiannoob]

is this still a no?

Is there a way to put the close button somewhere to the top right edge?

I found a solution. [image] The fourth icon from the right closes the current note, the fifth all other notes. It works with commander plugin Plugins - Obsidian and these settings: [image] Don’t forget to push the button: [image] And set the switch to: [image]

Hope that helps.
