Conflicts [24] with 3 Joplins

[jlpoolen]

I'm running Joplin on three machines, 2 Linux and 1 Win7. The Win7, of course, may be the problem child here, the version of Joplin on Win7 is:

Joplin 2.12.5 (prod, win32)

Client ID: 9c3420e08da64b508e4db00852700d74
Sync Version: 3
Profile Version: 43

Revision: 7c4b122

CodePerfect: 1.0.2
Csv Import: 1.0.1

On the Win7 desktop, I'm getting 24 conflicts in a test page that has the following:

Title: Testing Noteoverview
The Plug-in Note Overview at
https://github.com/JackGruber/joplin-plugin-note-overview
Below here is a tag that is suppose to retrieve stuff with Humanized time
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: -tag:*

Suggestions, or do we deem Joplin 2.12.5 (prod, win32) in compatible? Can and should I configure the Note-overview page to not be replicated? Should I have Note-overview installed in all instances of Joplin?

Suggestions, or do we deem Joplin 2.12.5 (prod, win32) in compatible?

I can't answer because this is still a Windows 7 version that has not been supported by Joplin for ages, and i think there have been enough improvements that have also targeted sync and conflicts (But not 100% sure)

Can and should I configure the Note-overview page to not be replicated?

No this is not possible

Should I have Note-overview installed in all instances of Joplin?

Yes you can, I have it on all my instances and have nearly and extremely rarely have a sync conflict.

If you have two devices and one is always online and one is not, possibly because it is a laptop, and you make changes to both that are also reflected in the overview and the laptop comes back online, then the probability of a conflict is very high, as the note has been changed on both devices and one will now detect a conflict during sync.

You can also to try to set different Update interval in minutes which do not coincide if all devices always try to synchronize at the same time.
