It would be nice to have the ability to focus on one folder and hide temporary all other folders. Just like Workflowy does with bullet points. When you go and click on a bullet point in workflowy, then it becomes the main title and all points that are not underneath it are hidden. So it would be a nice feature to do the same thing but with folders inside obsidian, when you click on a folder, than all folders, that are not subfolders of this one would be hidden. This would allow to focus on a specific thing to do that is in that folder without any distractions and no need to search for a folder when you have many of them.

I understand what you are getting at and could see some benefits.

In case you are interested, I made a feature request for showing the entire vault in a flat mode (without folders, just the files). Here’s the link: Folder toggle - Temporarily only show notes in explorer

Thanks.

An all notes view would be also a nice feature. But I do like the folder structure, I’m just creating too much folders and sub-folders :sweat_smile: , so it is easy to lose focus, when I work with just one of them, or jump between only two of them and have to search for that specific folder every time.

I just realize that the ability to star a whole folder with it’s sub-directories could be sufficient as well.

I also think that would be a really useful feature. And since it is already like this in Workflowy, I hope that the developers realize its importance and we will soon see it in the roadmap.

By the way, I’ve found a similar feature request. I wonder if its possible to merge these topics somehow.
