Usage

Once installed and enabled, Rich Foot will automatically add the following to the footer of your notes:

Excluding Folders

You can prevent Rich Foot from appearing in specific folders:

  1. Go to Obsidian Settings
  2. Navigate to the Rich Foot plugin settings
  3. Use the "Add excluded folder" section to:
    • Manually enter a folder path
    • Use the "Browse" button to select a folder
    • Click "Add" to add it to the exclusion list
  4. Use the "Delete" button next to any folder to remove it from the exclusion list

Notes:

  • Excluding a folder will hide Rich Foot completely from notes in that folder
  • Excluded folders also affect all subfolders
  • Links from notes in excluded folders will still appear in the backlinks of other notes
