Obsidian 1.7.2 - 'Hide folder note' broken when the File Explorer view is not visible on vault (re)load
Obsidian 1.7.2 introduced a breaking change referred to as 'deferred views' (https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Guides/Understanding+deferred+views). This affects some plugins, including Folder Notes.
When the File Explorer view is not visible on app start or on vault (re)load the below error messages are visible in console. The folder notes remain visible even if the option "Hide folder note" is enabled. To hide the folder notes you need to activate the File Explorer view and then: disable-enable the plugin or reload the vault or restart Obsidian.
The name 'Archive' visible in the first error message comes from the folder 'Archive' for which I have a folder note in my vault.
Not sure if it's because of the deferred views because it was already broken one beta update before that but I'm already working on a solution and it's almost done.
Thanks a lot! Your plugin is one of fundamental ones for me, thanks for it! I recently switched from Aidenx version, which seems to have been abandoned.
Hello, I believe I am having the same issue as @SebastianMC in version 1.7.32 and wanted to confirm that it does not appear fixed on my end. However, I am not getting any of the errors in the console that they are seeing.
I wanted to note that I found a quick workaround. If you use the right click options (Right Click > Folder Note Commands > Create Folder Note) it instantly hides the new folder note file in the hierarchy. This may be quicker than disabling/re-enabling the plugin or restarting Obsidian completely.
Should be fixed with the next plugin version. You can try out the beta version if you want to try it out https://github.com/LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes/releases/tag/1.7.30-19-beta
