Check for updates seems to work...

I'm just getting into Obsidian and wanted to see if there was a PA version; so far, installer seemed to work fine and did a manual Check for Updates to see if the underlying app would update on its own. It did, so now running 1.3.5, seemingly with no issues.

Thumbs up from me.

diff between PAF and ZIP versions?

Thanks for your good work, papela. Can you say more about the difference between your 2 versions of the portable on git? THanks

Can Obsidian Portable USB work on both Windows & Linux

I have installed Obsidian from the link above on my USB while on my Windows 11 machine. Works great! However, I am planning to use the USB on Ubuntu? Will this work?

Wine

Portable Apps are designed for Windows. Some of them may run on linux via Wine.

Offline package

Yes, I removed the offline package because:
* Obsidian’s license doesn’t allow redistributing its binary directly.
* PortableApps.com prefers online installers that download from the official source.
* It keeps the installer smaller and always up to date.
* It’s safer and avoids checksum or trust issues.

How to update portable version

Great work! Thanks. How do I update the portable version without losing any data from the existing portable version? Do I just install it into the folder of the already existing Obsidian Portable? Will that replace any of my personalized/customized settings?

Updating Obsidian Portable without losing data

Thanks!
Yes — you can safely install the new version into the same folder as your existing Obsidian Portable.
Your personal settings, vaults, and data are stored separately in the Data folder, so they won’t be affected or overwritten during the update.
You can also use the “Check for updates” option inside Obsidian’s settings to update it more easily.

hey @xmha97, you seem to have a great

grasp on portable obsidian. would you be willing to take a look at one of it's alternatives. logseq?

https://github.com/logseq/logseq/actions/workflows/build-desktop-release...

the new database branch will likely exit alpha soon, but it's already pretty stable. and it's local first, sql backend, and very intuative.

would be great to see a portable from you. and it's open source, so you could do a PAF

thanks so much if you could consider

very interesting!

I will look, thank you! -- but I have a concern -- this doesn't appear to be Build-Desktop-Release #2010, the link I provided, which is the only one I'm interested in -- the database branch, the next generation of the app. The existing markdown app is old and less scalable, and lacks many of the next generation tagging and query features-- https://github.com/logseq/logseq/actions/workflows/build-desktop-release... It is still in alpha so there's no released zip, but you can get it from that link, selecting the latest desktop build, windows x64, going to 'upload artifacts', and getting that zip. It has the MSI.

Asking Permission

I've reached out to the publisher on BlueSky about making this happen officially: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7ie7xgfxb2nbj3nnja4okujt/post/3m4tkdoqc...

Please let them know you're interested there.

thanks @xmha97

for this update. don't stop these are great! by the way, looking forward to your version of logseq db branch -- it's a totally different fork of the legacy MD version that you made at my suggestion. see my links to the build on the other thread. keep up the good work!

what is this db branch?

what db branch are you talking about? john said we don't do nightlies, and it's the same release i did. you keep inventing confusing conversations and stirring up weird stuff. please stop.

for the

second time, it's not a nightly. As per the graphic I posted it's considered by the insiders at beta level. We had a conversation on that thread and it was determined that it's decent enough stability and settled schema to start testing a PAF of Logseq DB. The worst that happens is that it doesnt work. It's not official PAF, just testing. Personally, I am interested in testing such a PAF.

Second, this is not your thread, but you're running around telling people what to do. What's it to you? How bout YOU stop? There's nothing confusing about Logseq. The legacy product operates on MD files. The new branch which is quite mature and represents a next level in features, stability, and scalability is something they've been diligently working on more than a year, and it's quite stable as a daily driver by many of the top discord contributors.. It operates on MD and DB (sqlite) graphs.

Third, Logseq .10.x is MD, .11.x is db branch -- unless I misread, you released .10.x MD branch, not DB. 0.11.x is an entirely different and rewritten product. Latest "master" https://github.com/logseq/logseq/actions/workflows/build-desktop-release... Under upload artifact, the zip contains an MSI and a NUPKG.
