I made a plugin to solve this problem by batch adding or removing a dot “.” at the beginning of filenames to show/hide files, which helps avoid lag issues caused by Obsidian indexing.

Plugin name: File Ignore, now available in the plugin store.

“Excluded files” option doesn’t quite work for me as the most annoying features of having an unwillingly indexed folder for me are not excluded from parsers

I think we need a feature request for additional functionality of “excluded files” . Not only are the files indexed, but excluded files also appear in the “move file to” dialog. Often the folder name I type into the dialog box doesn’t appear in the results because it is crowded out by what should be hidden/excluded folders.
