Whenever you point NeuraCache to a folder via “Select Sync Folder” — NeuraCache will traverse all the markdown files every couple of hours, searching for cards.
Ideally, “Select Sync Folder” would point to a folder that becomes a source of truth — meaning that NeuraCache always reflects the state of that folder (creating/updating and deleting cards)
This is where “Single Source of Truth” setting comes to the rescue ❤️
- Go to the “Cards” tab
- tap the “Sources” icon in the top-right corner
- tap “Single Source of Truth”
You have three options
None, never delete
New cards are created, existing ones updated but NeuraCache will never delete a card if it is missing in the observed folder.
Sync Folders, excluding imported
When this option is selected, NeuraCache will treat the folder set by “Select Sync Folder” as a source of truth and update/create/delete the cards to match what is in that folder.
However, if there are cards that were imported using either:
- Import Markdown Folder
- Import Markdown File
These cards will remain in the NeuraCache app — even if they are not present in the “Select Sync Folder” folder.
This approach allows you to import cards outside of Sync Folder from time to time — without losing them on the next sync process.
Sync Folder
When this option is selected, NeuraCache will treat the folder set by “Sync Folder” as a source of truth and update/create/delete the cards to match what is in that folder.
Cards that were imported using either:
- Import Markdown Folder
- Import Markdown File
will also be updated/created, or deleted during the next sync process.
This approach allows you to treat the Sync Folder as the only source of truth — no matter what 👌
