Hi Maik!
Yeah, as I wrote, with default notebooks shouldn't be any problems: Default means you didn't edited the notebook.zim file in the root folder of notebook. Zim place the cache in the XDG_CACHE_HOME (~/.cache or %APPDATA%\Roaming\zim\cache) by default, and the hidden .zim folder contains only state.conf file, which is storing the state of the notebook window, which node seen last, windows size, etc, etc. If you edited notebook.zim file in the root folder of notebook, there is a hidden option called Shared, which is True by default. Change it to False causing Zim will storing the cache in the hidden .zim folder which is practical to encrypted notebooks (I'm using gocryptfs for that purpose). My advice applies to this case. Sorry, if I wasn't clear. --- KRISZTIÁN MUKLI _mail: [email protected]_ _web: www.mukli.hu [4]_ 08.01.2020 09:12 időpontban Maik Mory ezt írta: > Hi Jake and Krisztian, > > I synced my notebooks via Resilio since 2010 or so (btsync was the name in > those days).
