obsidian-hide-folders

A simple plugin for obsidian.md that hides configured folders, with the ability to toggle their visibility.
This can be used for hiding attachments folders when you don't need them.

Installation

Search in the community plugins menu of Obsidian for "Hide Folders" look for the right plugin ("by JonasDoesThings"), there you can install the latest stable version.

Configuration

Enter the list of folder names to hide in the settings menu, one folder per line. You can match folders using three ways:

  • Exact folder-names (for example attachments)
  • All folders starting with a specific string (for example startsWith::_ to filter out all folders whose name starting with a _)
  • All folders ending with a specific string (for example endsWith::_trash to filter out all folders whose name is ending with _trash)

You can then also use a sidebar button to quickly toggle the visibility without having to enter the settings menu:

Using the command palette is also supported:

Development

Setup

  • Clone this repo.
  • pnpm i to install dependencies
  • pnpm dev to start compilation in watch mode.

Building

  • pnpm build to do a one-off build of the project, which produces the files needed for manually installing the plugin.

Manually installing the plugin

  • Copy over the outputted main.js, manifest.json from the dist/ folder to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-hide-folders/.
    -> Watch Out! You cannot copy-over the raw main.ts. You need to run a build first and then copy over the produced main.js.
