feat: hide-from-views flag on folders
Adds a per-folder "hide from views" toggle so noisy subtrees
(screenshots, WhatsApp dumps, work archives) can be excluded from
cross-cutting views without losing indexing. Photos under a hidden
folder are still scanned, thumbnailed, embedded, OCR'd, face-
extracted — they just stop appearing in All Photos, Rated, Colors,
Map, Tags, People, Search, Duplicates, and the sidebar counts.
Navigating directly into the folder still shows every photo.
Schema (migration 0007_folder_hidden):
- folders.is_hidden user-set toggle, default false
- photos.is_hidden denormalized effective flag (true iff any
ancestor folder is hidden), indexed so cross-
cutting queries stay on the existing planner
paths
The denorm is maintained by two paths:
- The scanner walks the ancestry chain on insert, with a per-scan
memoized cache so each folder is resolved once per scan.
- POST /api/v1/folders/{id}/hide flips folders.is_hidden and runs a
WITH RECURSIVE CTE to recompute every folder's effective state in
one query, then bulk-updates photos WHERE IS DISTINCT FROM. Runs
in ~10 ms on a 13k-photo library.
Filters added (cross-cutting queries):
- /library/stats — every sidebar badge via a shared `visible` filter
- /photos (list) — only when neither folder_id nor heap_id is set;
folder browse and heap browse always show everything
- /photos/map
- /library/duplicates/groups
- /folders/tree photo_count subquery
- /tags count_subq (drives Tags + People sidebar counts)
- services/duplicates.regroup_duplicates (so hidden dupes never
contaminate the Duplicates view)
- services/search.hybrid_search — both semantic (pgvector) and FTS
legs join photos so rankings don't include hidden results
Intentionally NOT filtered:
- /photos?folder_id=X and /photos?heap_id=X (user-intentional browse)
- /library/maintenance/pipeline-stats (tracks real worker state)
- cleanup service (disk-level ops, not views)
Frontend:
- sourceFolders.setHidden(id, hidden) API client method
- FolderTreeNode.is_hidden carried through the tree into TreeItem
- LeftSidebar kebab menu: "Hide from views" / "Show in views" with a
mutation that invalidates folders, photos, stats, and tags caches
- Hidden folder rows swap the Folder icon for EyeOff and render the
label italic/muted so the state is visible at a glance

"""folders + photos is_hidden flag

Revision ID: 0007_folder_hidden

Revises: 0006_face_512d
|

Create Date: 2026-04-11
|
||||
|
||||
Adds an "exclude from cross-cutting views" flag:
|
||||
|
||||
folders.is_hidden — user-toggled on a folder or source root. When
|
||||
true, photos in that subtree are hidden from
|
||||
library-wide views (All Photos, Map, Tags,
|
||||
People, Search, Duplicates, sidebar counts) but
|
||||
remain indexed and visible when the user
|
||||
navigates into the folder directly.
|
||||
|
||||
photos.is_hidden — denormalized: true iff any ancestor folder in
|
||||
the photo's folder chain has is_hidden=true.
|
||||
Kept as a real column (rather than a recursive
|
||||
query per read) because the filter runs on
|
||||
essentially every photo query in the app, and
|
||||
the toggle operation that recomputes it is
|
||||
rare. Indexed so `WHERE NOT is_hidden` doesn't
|
||||
fall off the rating/taken_at indexes.
|
||||
|
||||
Both columns default to false so existing rows need no backfill.
