Using File System to store (or synchronize) notes

[jeff9315]

I have a vault on my Windows based file system. Let's call it MyVault. I want to access it through a web interface on my Proxmox server which has a mount point to MyVault. I know you store many-notes vaults in a database but it looks like you might be working on a way to also store notes in a file system. I want to do this so I can edit my notes in other Markdown tools such as Typora, Obsidian, or Markor (on Android). Is this possible or on your roamap?

Hi!

Currently, Many Notes saves the files both in the database and filesystem. The database is used to power its features, as it's faster, and the writes are replicated to the filesystem.

What you are asking won't work though. If we make any change directly in the filesystem, it won't be reflected in Many Notes, as it only reads from the database.

I already got asked about this, but since there were other things more important, I haven't thought about it yet. Ideally, this would happen automatically, but it needs to be performant even with big vaults.

I can't promise I will implement it, but I like the idea. It isn't a priority for the next release, but I will research this when I have time. This discussion can be used to share ideas. If anyone has any input, I'm all ears.

I really also would like to be able to put a file in the folder and that the .md is imported automatically.

Plus one for this feature.

Plus one for this feature!! I want to use manynotes for collaborative work and access the vault later with obsidian for its suit of themes and plugins for non-collaborative refinment. if i make changes in obsidian, i want them reflected in manynote so the next time i access the vault collaboratively, everything is up to date.
