Excluded Folders does not seem to be working at all

[paulwalk]

I have a simple case - I want to exclude two folders, both at the root level. I have entered the names of these folders in the Excluded Folders section of the plugin settings (see screen shot). As you can see, I have not used any particular regex syntax - these are just simple names exactly as shown. I have double-checked for spelling/typos.

Despite this, if I click on one of these folders, a folder index file is automatically created.

I am using:

• Obsidian 1.4.16 on a Mac
• Version 1.0.21 of the Folder Index plugin

The Excludedfolder option currently just stops them from showing up in an index file, thanks for the report

I can confirm this is still happening. I have a doubt, if you include a folder name it will exclude all the folders with that name, including subfolders? I am using it mainly for attachments, included inside every folder with images, for example. Thanks!

This still dosn't hide folders from the graph view yes

This bug still creates an visible (file/folder view and graph view) index for excluded folder

I'm currently working on fixing this feature, but I also found a workaround for now:

If you include /foldername.md, it will work. For example, to exclude the top level folder media, add media/media.md to the excluded folders.

Thanks for the Info! :)

Tried this, but it didn't work.

I'd love a workaround where I could turn off automatic creation but hotkey in a TOC when I need it.

@SyndicatedPillbug As of 1.0.26 this is possible, simply rightclick on the folder where you want to create one and select the menu entry

Oh that’s perfect! I literally just hadn’t restarted Obsidian in a while so I missed the add. Thanks!
