File Explorer++ Plugin for Obsidian.md

File Explorer++ enhances the built-in file explorer in Obsidian.md. This plugin enables users to efficiently hide and pin files and folders. You can utilize custom wildcard or regex filters based on file/folder names, paths, and tags. Additionally, a simple click in the file menu lets you hide or pin specific files or folders.

Usage

  1. Set up filters either via the plugin settings tab in Obsidian or by right-clicking on a file/folder and choosing "Hide/Pin file".
  2. Toggle filters on/off in settings or using the Toggle all pin/hide filters command. For individual filters, use the Toggle pin/hide filter command.

Features

  • Flexibility in Filtering: Hide and pin files and folders using wildcard or regex filters for names, paths, and tags.
  • Quick Action: Instantly hide or pin specific files and folders with a right-click.
  • Efficiency: Through monkey patching, the plugin only runs during Obsidian folder sorting or when a filter changes.
  • Transparency: View the paths hidden or pinned and understand the filter behind each.
  • Mobile Compatibility: This plugin supports mobile devices.

Ribbon Icon

If you want an icon in the ribbon sidebar, I would recommend using Obsidian Commander and adding the File Explorer++: Toggle all hide filters command.
