Feature Request: Regex filters

[Azurewren]

Feature Request

The ability to blanket hide all files and/or folders that match a regex string. This could be used to filter out MOC or Index files throughout a whole vault. instead of having to select every... single... one... of... those... blasted... things.

There should also be the option to be able to include multiple of these type of entries, all of which is manageable under the Manage button.

I'll take a look and see if I can add that since it is something that is super helpful.

I did actually have it planned in the original specification in the system, but had to delay it due to the complexity of how the plugin was initially hiding the files (i.e. it's very hack-y right now and was even worse when I delayed it).

For me, I just want to hide all the folders that are named assets. This would be super helpful for me because I have lots of asset folders and I want to hide them all.

Hi, I created a fork to do just that:
https://github.com/vincentscode/regex-file-hider/

It is not quite done yet (RegEx cannot be added via the UI yet), but the base functionality does work!

How should I install it, friend? Tried to install it but failed

Dear @vincentscode @hieuvp , are you here? please help

[Oliver-Akins]

@LakeishaKowalczyk any issues with the forked repository should be addressed in that repository, not this one. Thank you.

@Oliver-Akins
Sorry there is no issues page in regex-file-hider repository

It appears that file-hider intends to provide regular or wildcard functionality. Do you have a specific time plan?

[Oliver-Akins]

I do not have a timeframe on support for it unfortunately.
