I agree, what I describe in case 1b. is caused by the fact that the file operations are not atomic. But I haven’t chosen the way how Obsidian works.

In case 2., the warnings in [FAQ](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/faq.html#am-i-able-to-nest-shared-folders-in-syncthing) and in the [forum](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/sync-a-subfolder-of-an-already-synced-folder/16164/5) weren’t strong enough.

I have written all this here, in order to be documented somewhere. It would be worth extending the note in FAQ with the info that sync-conflicts and data loss may occur, and that it has been already proven. If I read that, I would avoid that.
