I’d like to chime in with a related use-case. I keep some client related information, including an Obsidian vault, in a client-specific encrypted drive image on my local system (macOS, using a sparsebundle disk image). This volume isn’t always mounted, leading to a subset of problems documented in this thread:
- The Obsidian vault switcher forgets about this vault if I ever open Obsidian (e.g. for my main vault) when the client volume isn’t mounted. As such, I have to navigate to it and “Open folder as vault” again each time.
- The vault is treated as untrusted each and every time the above process happens.
