Slow app load times and workspace sync conflicts when using Syncthing

Help

Hello people. The solution that works is to add to ignore patterns these lines:

(?d).obsidian
(?d).obsidian.desktop
(?d).obsidian.mobile

Explanation:

  • (?d) is a special pattern in Syncthing to indicate that these patterns should be deleted from the local filesystem if they are deleted remotely. If you do not want this behavior, you can omit (?d).
  • .obsidian will ignore the .obsidian directory.
  • .obsidian.desktop will ignore the .obsidian.desktop file.
  • .obsidian.mobile will ignore the .obsidian.mobile file.

This will ensure that the specified files and directories are ignored by Syncthing within ANY folder. So for example if you have multiple vaults it won’t sync these folders and files within them in ALL Vaults you have added into your Sync Folder.
