Describe feature

I have hundreds of notes that are just PDF files. I would like to be able to set a global option such that when I open one of these notes it renders them in the 'full' screen i.e. not with the file attributes expanded. There's nothing useful in those properties that I need so would prefer the screen real-estate for the PDF. I know I can click file to close them individually but this doesn't persist

Additional Information

No response

Hi, It can be implemented through attributes.

create a note with css type.
paste the code into the note.

.hide-file-properties .file-properties-widget{
   display:none!important;
}
.show-file-properties .file-properties-widget{
   display:block!important;
}

create the attribute #cssClass(inheritable)=hide-file-properties on root note or the parent note of your pdf files.
reload frontend.
you can add the attribute #cssClass=show-file-properties on the specifc note expected to show the file properties.

Sorry I missed a thing, the css note need the attribute #appCss to work. Reloading is required.
By the way, if you set an attribute as inheritable , it will be inherited by the child notes.
