Best practices for syncing multiple desktops

[kyouens]

Hi,
Love the plugin. I have multiple desktops that use Obsidian Sync. I want to use Omnisearch on all of them. Should I enable PDF and image indexing on all of them, or just on one of them? Are there any best practices to avoid issues in this setting? Thanks so much for your work on this--great addition to Obsidian.

You need to enable PDF/Image indexing on all devices where you need the feature - so I guess all devices. You also want to make sure that Obsidian Sync correctly syncs Text Extractor's cache, to avoid redundant work as much as possible. The cache files will (hopefully) get synced fast enough, and Text Extractor won't do the work twice.

Edit: The caches files are located in .obsidian\plugins\text-extractor\cache

To avoid conflicts between your desktops, it might be safer to let Text Extractor do its work on a single machine and then sync with the others.

Thank you! That’s exactly the info I needed. Much appreciated.
