Every time problems with workspace.json

[smooth-baking-powder]

Hey,

I use 4 devices for my self hosted livesync. 2 computers, 2 mobile devices.

Often after uses some device longer or I change some settings, the workspace or workspace-mobile json has a conflict.

I use livesync preset with hidden files sync.

How can I solve the problem forever? It's a little bit annoying.

I already tried Customizing device, but I configure it wrong or it doesn't do what I need.

Thanks.

Thank you for asking!
We can ignore specific files with the Selector pane of the settings dialogue.
And for convenience, we are also able to use Add default patterns -> Cross Platform.

After pressing this button, the files you have mentioned would be listed as follows.

For your information, we have some options for automatically merging (and sensible merging -- merge automatically if changed properties/lines are independent), but they are enabled by default, if they have lower potential data loss. And, merging these files without interactions will be a bit dangerous, so my opinion is that they should be ignored. We can synchronise that with Configuration Sync selectively, if we indeed want.

Hey, thanks for all the good work.
I have that enabled and i still have a conflict every time I open Obsidian on a device and it driving me crazy, I always choose option B (which i assume it means the version with the newest timestamp) but it happens every single time.
