Settings profiles

Recently my plugin Settings profiles was released. It is a plugin with which you can create settings profiles. These save the settings of Obsidian, plugins and also snippets and themes are supported. This means you can easily switch back and forth between different setting profiles.

I’m currently working on expanding it so that the profiles you created in one vault can also be used in other vaults. This means you no longer have to worry about what settings you need to make when you create a new vault. You can simply download the plugin and your profiles will be recognized automatically.

If you encounter problems or have ideas for expansion or improvement, I would be happy if you share them on GitHub.

It would be awesome if you’d create an option to automatically enable/disable settings profiles based on the device being used (auto-switch profile on Desktop, auto-switch to another profile on Android, etc.)

Have you used it on mobile? I like your idea but I think at the moment it is not mobile capable. I will put mobile support and device-dependent profiles on the to-do list.

I have one question, in the client vault i.e. which is receiving the profile setting, do I have to keep ui update and profile update option OFF

also, found one bug, its not saving setting of core plugin backlinks, didn’t check other core plugins

could you specify your question a bit more I am not sure I understand it correct. These options are there so it is possible to reduce the file read/write if the profile update is enabled the plugin periodical checks for changes in the config files in your vault and the profile storage path and updates the settings if enabled. The UI update also checks for changes but only updates the status bar icon and its behavior when clicking on it. So depending on your needs it is your choice to enable or disable it.

Ok so maybe I got it wrong how the plugin works. Please correct me if I understand it correctly now.

  1. If you do any changes in a vault you have to manually save it in the profile.
  2. after that the vaults in which the plugin is installed and that profile is enabled will automatically replicate the changes if the profile update is enabled

You got it partly correct.

  1. Auto save is enabled in profile and profile update also the changes get automatically saved but if not you have to save them by your self
  2. The settings get indeed automatically replicated BUT currently is a reload required that there get applied you can see this in the status bar in this state you can click on it and it will ask you to reload obsidian
