To avoid sync issues it's important that Emacs is set up for both autosaving and reloading on external changes.
If you add Orgzly to the mix for mobile access, you also want to configure Orgzly to auto-save whenever you open it or make changes.
With these two adjustments this becomes a pretty good setup.

- ubermonkey 6y agoJust so it's in the thread: I believe the emacs option for "hey, that file changed on disk; I'll reload" is (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
- ledauphin 6y agoI've been using emacs for about 15 years and didn't realize this was an option. I've added it to my config - thank you! (and thanks to the GP as well, of course!)
- ubermonkey 6y agoI am a total emacs noob given my relatively shallow exploitation of it, and my absolute ignorance of lisp. This is absolutely the first time I've provided an emacs answer someone found useful in a technical forum. I'm gonna need a minute. (heh)

- codemac 6y agoI still had many problems with writes not making it out of syncthing before the laptop/phone would go to sleep - thus creating lots of conflicts to resolve all the time. It was a frustrating experience, because basically ~once a day I'd have to manually fix diffs on each side.
