Fold Properties

James AlexandreJames Alexandre5k downloads

Adds fold/unfold properties function to folder and file context menu.

  • Updates9

Fold or unfold the properties of one note, a whole folder, or your entire vault in a single click.

Fold Properties: right-click a folder, choose Fold properties, and every note folds

Why

Long property blocks push your actual writing down the page. Obsidian lets you fold properties one note at a time. Fold Properties does it in bulk, and the fold is saved for every note, including the ones you haven't opened yet.

Usage

From the file explorer

Right-click on Choose Result
A note Fold properties / Unfold properties Folds or unfolds that note's properties
A folder Fold properties / Unfold properties Applies to every note in the folder, including its subfolders

From the command palette

Command What it does
Fold properties in all notes Folds the properties of every note in your vault
Unfold properties in all notes Unfolds the properties of every note in your vault

Notes that are already open update straight away, and a notice confirms each action.
