Hi Everyone,

We are back with another episode of PKM Weekly. Let’s see what is in store for us today.

Obsidian

• 1.9.12 Desktop

Shiny new things

This update introduces a new migration assistant for Obsidian Sync. This tool will enable you to perform migrations for your remote Sync vaults, including encryption upgrades, and, in the future, the ability to switch regions. Learn more

Obsidian occasionally upgrades Sync encryption to maintain the highest security standards. If an encryption upgrade is available, you will see an option titled “Upgrade vault encryption” in Obsidian Settings → Sync.

Improvements

1. We have added in-app checks for plugins known to cause issues with Obsidian 1.9:

• Commander v0.5.3 caused the mobile toolbar to take up the entire screen. This is fixed in the latest version of the plugin, so you just need to remember to update.
• The “Image Toolkit” plugin causes issues with the display of Obsidian’s menus. Once there is a new version of this plugin available, it can be re-enabled.
