Preferences/Settings files.exclude symlinks

[digitalnumeric]

I can see the symlink decorator icons as per this: Symlink Decorator Icon
I would like to hide symlinks similar to this: Exclude Symlinks from Display
{ "files.exclude": { "**/.git": true, "symlinks": true } }
Is the above the correct way to hide symlinks in theia?
Thank you.

Hey @digitalnumeric,

as far as I can tell, microsoft/vscode#74335 was never actually implemented, right? It was marked as out-of-scope.

I don't think that Theia currently supports a setting to exclude symlinks in the explorer. You can create a feature proposal for that if you want to. Note that the proposed solution with { "files.exclude": { "**/.git": true, "symlinks": true } } doesn't seem like a good idea, since it's pretty ambiguous.

I see now that you are correct and it wasn't implemented. Thank you for the reply.
