Allow to Disable Pop-up Notifications

Use case or problem

I find these notifications always annoying, never useful.

Certain community plugins like @AlanG’s Update modified field on edit trigger them when they modify file content.

@kepano’s otherwise excellent Hider cannot hide them & the plugin doesn’t accept feature requests on its GitHub page

Proposed solution

Add toggle to fully disable pop-up notifications. Or, better yet, add more granular control: add toggle for each type of notification. One might want to see when links gets updated but never want to know about “merging changes”.

Hello everyone, I’ve been using Obsidian for a while, and recently I’ve been getting frequent pop-up notifications like the one in the screenshot below. They inform me that a file has been modified externally and that changes are being merged automatically. These notifications have become quite annoying, and I would like to find a way to disable them.

Turn Off Pop-Up Bubbles

I asked once before and the answer was a negative so here goes; I was looking for a way to disable all of the pop-up bubbles.

There are pop-up bubbles over the Explorer to tell when every file and folder was created and modified. There are pop-up bubbles when hovering over all of the items in the ribbon including new note and new folder. There are pop-up bubbles when hovering over each acti…

You could probably hide them with CSS, but in response specifically to this part:

You should be seeing that message very rarely or not at all. You might want to increase your timeout setting to something like 60 if the default doesn’t work for your particular case:

Hey there! Yeah, I set this setting to 10 seconds and I still see them intermittently. If one could disable the notifications entirely, the wouldn’t be an issue at all! I’m open to a CSS solution but I personally wouldn’t know how.

As I said, you should try increasing this so that you don’t see them intermittently. Try 60 rather than 10.

I understand! It’s just the trade-off would be less frequent updates I might have to take it though.

Add toggle to fully disable pop-up notifications

To disable all pop-up notifications in Obsidian, use this CSS snippet:

.notice-container {
  display: none !important;
}

That did it. Thanks so much! The solution looks insultingly simple
