[FR] Hide files by extension. from Navigator
Your plugin is great, but it can't hide files by file extension alone.
Many plugins don't have the ability to hide files. "Reveal all file extensions" is enabled in Obsidian's core settings.
An example plugin is "obsidian-edit-history." We could integrate something like this to hide files from the explorer, using CSS:
tree-item.nav-file:has(div[data-path$=edtz]) {
display: none;
}
You can hide by extension under the manage hidden folders menu in the main menu

When "Detect all file extensions" is disabled, .rar, .zip and other types are hidden. We need to see all types except exceptions. Is this possible?
The make.md navigator does not use the settings from the Obsidian files view so you can configure them separately.

I used a basic file explorer and an extension called "File Tree Alternative" that hides .edtz files, thanks to these snippes: An example plugin is "obsidian-edit-history." We could integrate something like this to hide files from the explorer, using CSS:
tree-item.nav-file:has(div[data-path$=edtz]) {
display: none;
}
The only strange thing is that your plugin doesn't hide .edtz files Extension. Could you please provide a solution? Thank you.
The Navigator view has been properly hiding .edtz files for months. Today it suddenly started showing them again in my laptop. On my phone, I'm running the same version of Obsidian and make.md and Navigator view on my phone still hides them.
I'm not using any of the CSS snippets or file exclusion settings in Core Obsidian. I have Detect all file extensions disabled on both laptop and phone and that normally takes care of it.
I'm not sure what changed with make.md. Maybe nothing changed and it's my laptop that's going crazy.
Is there a setting in make.md that can be used to hide certain file extensions? I don't think the Navigator view honors the CSS snippets. I'm certain it didn't the last time I tried, but that was months ago.
I've seen both
.tree-item.nav-file:has(div[data-path$=edtz]) {
display: none;
}
and
.tree-item.nav-file > div[data-path$=edtz] {
display: none;
}
Thanks for reporting this, there were some changes to hiding files that made them more consistent but there may be an issue with hiding extensions. Inside your “Manage Hidden Files” either through running the command or in the settings, does it show the extension? If this is indeed an issue that has been introduced after I run some tests, this will be fixed in the next update.

After testing, the hiding by extension is working as expected, can you let me know if your “Manage Hidden Files” has the rule .edtz in the hidden extensions?
