Hide Index Files

Hide index files (folder notes) more reliably.
Hide Index Files
Hide folder notes from the file explorer. Use with folder-notes for the full experience.

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).
