New computer: settings

[obsimion]

Hello,

I have a new mac and my Obsidian vault folder is synchronized completely.
However, when I open Obsidian on the new computer, some settings do not seem to be migrated.
I see all my community plugins, but all are disabled. Shortcuts are not working etc.

Interestingly, the .obsidian folder contains some duplicate files:

total 136

Is that normal? How can I solve this? Could I expect a seamless migration of everyhing or did I overlook something important?
Thanks & regards,
Simon

The duplicate files definitely aren’t normal.

How are you syncing? You didn’t mention, so I’m assuming Obsidian Sync. But are you also using any other sync solutions, or storing your vault in an iCloud folder, for examples? That can cause issues if you have 2 things fighting each other.

(And I’m afraid I haven’t kept up with the sync features. I don’t know if all settings and plugins are intended to sync.)

Hi,

I don’t use Obsidian Sync, the files are on a GDrive. It’s not my intention to work on this vault with two computers. But this is probably my error: I had Obsidian opened on both machines and probably there was a conflict which lead to the duplicate files.

Assuming that there was not any concurrent file access, it should have worked to have ma vault migrated 1:1 to the new machine, is that correct?

Thanks a lot, regards,
Simon

I see all my community plugins, but all are disabled.

In Community Plugins settings, is Safe Mode on or off? It should be off, when you want to use community plugins. From there it is a simple matter of going down the list and toggling the on/off switch for all the plugins you want to use.
