How to hide Godot’s UID files in Rider

You can now write GDScript in Rider with this plugin. Rider even collapses the .tscn under the .gd files of the same name, which is really neat. But the ugly .uid files still stick around.

Here’s how to hide them:

In File System tool window, hover its header. Icons will appear.
Click the three dots icon, then go into Appearance and then File Nesting

File nesting dialog

This will bring out a small dialog window. Here you can specify parent-child file suffixes. Children will appear collapsed under the parent file in the project tree.

There should already be a .gd entry with .tscn. You can hit the plus icon anyway and enter .gd as parent file suffix and .gd.uid as child file suffix.

Or you can find the .gd item, type in a semicolon and add the .gd.uid after that.

The .gd.uid files are now out of the way!

Note

I also configured similar rules for assets, like .glb and .glb.import. Rider already collapses *.import files with SVGs and PNGs. No idea why it didn’t pick up on 3D models!
