+1, using folder bridge atm while the devs finally propose a fix for this. symlinking doesn’t seem to work

Same for me, using folder bridge with a slightly modified source to allow a Linux or Mac fallback Mount point and faster mounts for larger mounts

The only issue I find with Folder Bridge is on IOS it doesn’t work so you can’t access dot folders from it. I don’t understand why this isn’t a feature from obsidian, you should be able to control what shows in obsidian, this is a simple feature that kills obsidian for llm management.

I’m guessing the primary reason was so that you can’t modify/break your .obsidian folder which contains all your Apps settings.

When Obsidian was first released Claude didn’t exist

Could be a setting in the future to allow other hidden folders (just not .obsidian)
