Whitelist or Blacklist Files and Folders

[Dylan9-dll]

Closed: This feature was added in v9.0.6.

Whitelisting or blacklisting files or folders (I shall abbreviate to WL/BL) is a powerful feature that I was surprised to find missing from TaskGenius, this amazing plugin.

It's my second day using Task Genius and already I have dramatically improved the state of organisation throughout my various projects and study. However, I have noticed how impactful not having WL/BL is on the effectiveness of this plugin for me. Without such features, Task Genius takes every single checkbox in my entire vault and turns it into some kind of task that shows up in the menu.

This means that I either have to deal with the extra clutter in my todo page (a huge problem for a person of my cognition), or refrain from using checkboxes in my entire vault except where I explicitly intend a task to be recorded, which is a pain because checkboxes are used for a lot more than just recording tasks!

Lack of WL/BL in Task Genius hamstrings it's own amazing functionality, as well as original functionality from vanilla Obsidian. It restricts workflows and causes unnecessary clutter. I believe WL/BL should be implemented as a top priority, given how far this project has come without it and how crucial it is for an efficient, powerful plugin that fulfills it's creators initial philosophy!
