Obsidian Kindle Plugin doesn't update certain types of highlights and notes

[josh-wong]

Situation

Because of a limitation with the Obsidian Kindle Plugin, if you do any of the following, your highlights and notes will not be updated unless you delete the .md files and re-sync:

• Deleted highlights
• New, modified, or deleted notes

Solution

Creating a script to do the following should work:

• Delete the .md files in the Obsidian folder where the contents of this vault live.
• Open this vault.
• Wait about 10 minutes for Kindle highlights and notes to re-sync.
• Close this vault.

Benefits

• Reduces labor hours.

Fixed this issue by configuring:

• One script to delete the contents of the folder
  • Based on the "remove-folder.py" script at remove-copy-folder-scripts
• One script to open the Kindle vault in Obsidian to resync the Kindle highlights and notes
  • Based on the "app-open-close.py" script at app-open-close-script

I've documented this and other related processes in the "Sync process" section of docs/index.md
