Hiding Added Files/Folders in Favorites on Home Screen

Pretty much what the subject line says. I’m trying to hide the files and folder that I add for indexing to not automatically show up on Favorites on the Home Screen.

For example, I already have Movies and TV Shows showing on Home Screen, so having my added files “Movies and Television” show up on Favorites is redundant (see attached image).

I thought there used to be a way to hide added files/folders on favorites in Home Screen. Is there still a way to do this, or perhaps can this be added in a future release? Much appreciated!

For the Mac version right click on the one you want gone and select either remove from favorites or remove from home screen depending on the type it is.

This doesn’t work on IOS,it makes the Home Screen very untidy.

Seems such a simple thing to implement when it works on all other devices.

You didn’t say it was for iOS so I just guessed per your pic. :wink:

To remove favorites from iOS

@NC_Bullseye I wasn’t the OP I just commented on their post,however the set up guide you linked to does not help with IOS,unless I’m missing something blatantly obvious you can’t hide a favourite on IOS only remove it.

You’re not actually removing the favorite in iOS only removing it from the favorites row.

You can tap the “+” and navigate back to that favorite and re-pin it to the home screen.

You quite literally are removing the favourite that’s why the option is remove not hide favourite,IOS works completely differently to TVOS,on the Apple TV the option is hide favourite.

2 operating systems 2 different setups 2 different home screens

I just did it 3 times in a row on my iphone. After “Removing From Favorites” it was gone on the home screen and then I went back and navigated back on the “+” screen and it was still there and was easily added back.

Sorry to sound condescending but I’m not sure you’re understanding what the OP or myself are asking.

I know how to add favourites and remove them and then add them back.

I want to HIDE them so all that shows up is a Movies favourite , a TV Shows favourite ,a collections favourite etc

The bottom 5 orange tiles don’t need to be displayed,they’re not on TVOS because you have the option to HIDE them,IOS DOES NOT give you the option to do it.Removing the favourite removes its contents from your library not the same as Hiding it.

That is why I used iOS

The iOS option is “Remove From Favorites” not “Remove Favorite”

Okay things are starting make more sense now. FYI, I’m on the latest OS for all devices and latest version of Infuse Pro 8.5.5.

There appears to be an inconsistency with the “Hide Favorite” feature across platforms in Infuse:

  • tvOS: Long-clicking a folder on the Home Screen allows you to select “Hide Favorite.”
  • iOS & macOS: The “Hide Favorite” option is missing, forcing favorited items onto the Home Screen.
  • Issue: Removing the favorite on iOS/macOS isn’t a viable workaround, as it stops Infuse from indexing the folder and its files entirely.

Attached are screenshots from all three operating systems illustrating the issue.

macOS

iOS

tvOS

Which removes the contents from your library!

You guys are awesome! Looks like the new update 8.5.6 has added the feature to hide individual favorites on home. Thanks!
