So if I point this at my existing Obsidian library, what happens? Does this add to existing files, or add new files, to store the output of things generated by the AI? Doe the chunking of the files only happen within the vector database? What if I later edit my files in Obsidian and only open up Reor after -- does the full chucking happen every time, or can it notice that only a few new files exist?

Just wondering what the interaction might be for someone who uses Obsidian but might turn to this occasionally.

It's filesystem mapping 1:1. Basically the same thing Obsidian does when you open a vault. You can create new files with Reor, create directories and edit existing files. Chunking happens only in vector DB and everything is synced automatically so you shouldn't notice anything if you reopen Reor after using Obsidian.

In short, yes it'd work seamlessly if you wanted to use it occasionally.
