Description

The Hide Index Files plugin streamlines the appearance of the Obsidian file explorer by hiding folder notes, often used as index files, from view. It directly patches tree items for more reliable behavior, avoiding common syncing issues found in similar plugins. Designed to complement setups using folder-note systems, it ensures a cleaner and more focused navigation experience, especially beneficial for users managing large or complex vaults.

Hide Index Files

Hide folder notes from the file explorer. Use with folder-notes for the full experience. side by side comparison of file explorer without and with a plugin

Why not just folder-notes?

folder-notes uses direct DOM patching and vault's on(event) listeners that may misbehave and be out of sync with file explorer's DOM tree. That causes folder-notes to fail to hide some of the folder notes. This is especially prominent with lazy-cached-vault-load. This plugin on the other hand patches tree items directly and works flawlessly.

Other plugins

  • lazy-cached-vault-load - Reduces startup time on mobile to 2-3 seconds, even with a vault containing 30k+ notes.
  • reveal-folded - Adds a command that reveals the current file in the file explorer while collapsing all other items.
  • auto-folder-note-paste - Ensures your attachments are placed inside your note when pasting or using drag-and-drop by converting your note into a folder note.
  • folders-graph - Adds folders as nodes in graph views.
  • hide-index-files - Hides folder notes (index files) from the file explorer.
  • crosslink-advanced - Adds commands for managing ftags-oriented vaults: adding ftags, creating child notes, opening random unftagged file, etc.
  • virtual-dirs - Adds 'virtual' folder files or folder indexes. You can open and search for them, but they do not take up space and 'materialize' whenever you need a real folder note.
  • viewer-ftags - add ftags as chips on top of markdown/file editors/previews. And children as differently styled chips too!
  • git-annex-autofetch - Allows you to open annexed files that are not locally present as if they were on your device (essentially, an NFS/overlay-fs hybrid in Obsidian).

Contributing

Issues and patches are welcome. This plugin is designed to work with other plugins, and I will do my best to support this use case. However, I reserve the right to refuse support for any plugin at my discretion.
