Request - Hide files by extension

[froses]

Hi,

First, thank you so much for your work.

I think it may be interesting to offer the possibility of hiding files by extension. For instance, all files with a "zip" or with an "edtz" extension ("edtz" file extension is used by Obsidian Edit History Plugin).

Thanks in advance,

Yes I'm too interested hide "edtz". It can be killer-feature.

Thanks for the ideas, this is something I could look into adding, it's similar to #15, as the extension hiding functionality would essentially be equivalent to using .*\.edtz.

I'll keep this use-case in mind while developing RegEx support and test to see how it handles it.

Hi Oliver,

I have tested the plugin and I think the addition of the new functionality to hide files by extension is great. I will tell you, below, the tests I have done and the possible problems I have seen.

I am using in Obsidian 1.45 on macOS (Ventura and Sonoma).

⁃   I have a file in my vault with an unsupported extension: «Table.ods». The file is visible. 
⁃   I have installed the beta version of File Hider including the new feature to hide files by extension.
⁃   I opened the File Hider Settings Dialog and I specified the files with an ODS extension must be hidden.

 ⁃ I close the settings dialog. ⁃ The «Table.ods» file still visible. ⁃ I disabled and enabled the File Header plugin. ⁃ The «Table.ods» file is hidden. ⁃ I opened the File Hider Settings dialog and I clicked the «Manage» button. No hidden files appear, but «Table.ods» is hidden. ⁃ I copied a new file, «Table_02.ods» from Finder to Obsidian. The file «Table_02.ods» is visible. ⁃ I disabled and enabled the File Header plugin. ⁃ The «Table_02.ods» file is hidden.

Observations:

⁃   IMHO, if you specify an extension (or extensions) to hide, the files with these extensions must be hidden when the settings dialog is closed.
⁃   IMHO, if a file is hidden by extension, it must appear in the «Hidden Files and Folders» list.
⁃   IMHO, when I add a new file with an extension to hide, the file must be hidden automatically.

I hope, my test will be useful to you.

Best regards,

Francesc
