+# Guide de configuration des fichiers et dossiers cachés
+
+## Vue d'ensemble
+
+ObsiGate prend désormais en charge les fichiers et dossiers cachés (ceux qui commencent par un point, comme `.obsidian`, `.git`, etc.) avec une configuration flexible par vault.
+
+## Fonctionnalités
+
+### 1. **Activation globale par vault**
+Vous pouvez activer l'indexation de TOUS les fichiers cachés pour un vault spécifique.
+
+### 2. **Liste blanche flexible**
+Ajoutez des dossiers cachés individuels à une liste blanche, même si l'activation globale est désactivée.
+
+### 3. **Configuration persistante**
+Les paramètres sont sauvegardés et persistent entre les redémarrages.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Via variables d'environnement
+
+Ajoutez ces variables à votre configuration Docker ou `.env` :
+
+```bash
+# Pour activer tous les fichiers cachés dans un vault
+VAULT_1_INCLUDE_HIDDEN=true
+
+# Pour ajouter des dossiers spécifiques à la liste blanche
+VAULT_1_HIDDEN_WHITELIST=.obsidian,.github,.vscode
+
+# Exemple pour un deuxième vault
+VAULT_2_INCLUDE_HIDDEN=false
+VAULT_2_HIDDEN_WHITELIST=.obsidian
+```
+
+### Via l'interface web
+
+1. Ouvrez le menu **Options** (icône d'engrenage)
+2. Cliquez sur **Configurations**
+3. Faites défiler jusqu'à la section **📁 Fichiers et dossiers cachés**
+4. Pour chaque vault, vous pouvez :
+   - **Activer/désactiver** l'inclusion de tous les fichiers cachés
+   - **Ajouter des dossiers** à la liste blanche individuellement
+   - **Supprimer des dossiers** de la liste blanche
+
+5. Cliquez sur **Sauvegarder les paramètres**
+6. Cliquez sur **Réindexer avec nouveaux paramètres** pour appliquer les changements
+
+## Exemples d'utilisation
+
+### Cas 1 : Indexer uniquement le dossier .obsidian
+
+```bash
+VAULT_1_INCLUDE_HIDDEN=false
+VAULT_1_HIDDEN_WHITELIST=.obsidian
+```
+
+Ou via l'interface :
+- Désactiver "Inclure tous les fichiers cachés"
+- Ajouter `.obsidian` à la liste blanche
+
+### Cas 2 : Indexer tous les fichiers cachés
+
+```bash
+VAULT_1_INCLUDE_HIDDEN=true
+```
+
+Ou via l'interface :
+- Activer "Inclure tous les fichiers cachés"
+
+### Cas 3 : Indexer plusieurs dossiers cachés spécifiques
+
+```bash
+VAULT_1_INCLUDE_HIDDEN=false
+VAULT_1_HIDDEN_WHITELIST=.obsidian,.github,.vscode
+```
+
+Ou via l'interface :
+- Désactiver "Inclure tous les fichiers cachés"
+- Ajouter `.obsidian`, `.github`, `.vscode` à la liste blanche
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Obtenir les paramètres d'un vault
+
+```http
+GET /api/vaults/{vault_name}/settings
+```
+
+Réponse :
+```json
+{
+  "includeHidden": false,
+  "hiddenWhitelist": [".obsidian", ".github"]
+}
+```
+
+### Mettre à jour les paramètres d'un vault
+
+```http
+POST /api/vaults/{vault_name}/settings
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "includeHidden": true,
+  "hiddenWhitelist": [".obsidian"]
+}
+```
+
+### Obtenir les paramètres de tous les vaults
+
+```http
+GET /api/vaults/settings/all
+```
+
+## Architecture technique
+
+### Backend
+
+- **`backend/indexer.py`** : Fonction `_should_include_path()` qui vérifie si un chemin doit être inclus
+- **`backend/vault_settings.py`** : Gestion de la persistance des paramètres
+- **`backend/main.py`** : Endpoints API pour gérer les paramètres
+- **`backend/attachment_indexer.py`** : Respect des paramètres pour les pièces jointes
+
+### Frontend
+
+- **`frontend/index.html`** : Section de configuration dans le modal
+- **`frontend/app.js`** : Fonctions `loadHiddenFilesSettings()`, `saveHiddenFilesSettings()`, etc.
+- **`frontend/style.css`** : Styles pour l'interface de configuration
+
+## Notes importantes
+
+1. **Réindexation requise** : Après modification des paramètres, une réindexation est nécessaire pour appliquer les changements
+2. **Persistance** : Les paramètres sont sauvegardés dans `/app/data/vault_settings.json`
+3. **Priorité** : Les variables d'environnement sont chargées au démarrage, mais peuvent être écrasées via l'interface web
+4. **Performance** : L'activation de tous les fichiers cachés peut augmenter le temps d'indexation selon le nombre de fichiers
+
+## Dépannage
+
+### Les fichiers cachés n'apparaissent pas après activation
+
+1. Vérifiez que les paramètres sont bien sauvegardés
+2. Déclenchez une réindexation manuelle
+3. Vérifiez les logs du serveur pour d'éventuelles erreurs
+
+### Les paramètres ne persistent pas
+
+1. Vérifiez que le dossier `/app/data/` est accessible en écriture
+2. Vérifiez les permissions du fichier `vault_settings.json`
+3. Consultez les logs pour les erreurs de sauvegarde
+
+### Conflit entre variables d'environnement et interface web
+
+Les paramètres de l'interface web écrasent les variables d'environnement. Pour revenir aux variables d'environnement, supprimez le fichier `vault_settings.json` et redémarrez.
