File Hider

This is a plugin for Obsidian that allows hiding specific files and folders from the file explorer.

How to Use

Right Click on any file or folder that you want to hide, and click Hide Folder or Hide File. This will hide the file by default.

Showing Hidden Files/Folders

You can toggle the visibility status of the files and folders by running the File Hider: Toggle Visibility command.

Removing File/Folder's Hidden Status

Right Click on Shown File

If you right click on a file that is set to be hidden, when it is shown in the list, you will see an Unhide File or Unhide Folder option, clicking that will remove it from the list of hidden files and keep it visible once hidden files are no longer visible.

File/Folder List

  • Open Obsidian's settings
  • Go to the File Hider tab
  • Click on either Manage to open a list of all hidden files and folders.
  • Click on the X button of the file or folder you no longer want hidden.

Ribbon Icon

If you want an icon in the ribbon sidebar, I would recommend using Customizable Sidebar and adding the File Hider: Toggle Visibility command.
