Nested Hidden Folders

Dominik BachDominik Bach7 downloads

Index hidden folders at every vault level so they appear in the file tree. Toggle each path.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

Index hidden folders (names starting with .) at every vault level, not only the root.

Fork of Hidden Folders Access, which only lists root-level paths like .claude. This plugin also finds classes/.grok and other nested dot-folders, then lets you toggle each path into the file tree.

Disable Hidden Folders Access while this is enabled. Both patch the same file adapter.

Missing paths are dropped so a copied settings file cannot invent folders like .pi.

Desktop only.

Use

  1. Enable the plugin.
  2. Settings → Nested Hidden Folders.
  3. Refresh, then toggle each hidden path.

Tokens / paths

Examples this is built for: .grok, classes/.grok, .github, nested agent skill folders.

About
Index hidden dot-folders at every vault level (e.g., .grok, classes/.grok, .github) so nested hidden paths appear alongside regular files. Toggle any discovered hidden path into the file explorer to show or hide it on desktop; avoid running Hidden Folders Access simultaneously.
