Quick privacy switch

[MicaelJarniac]

From what it seems, if one wants to use this extension but hide the actual file and project names, they have to go in the configuration and delete the respective placeholders on every string that has them.

Although that works fine, I think a master switch to hide the contents of those placeholders would be quite handy.

I imagine it working like so:
If a user doesn't want to publicly share the file and workspace names, they toggle the "privacy" master switch and the content of those placeholders is automatically cleared, without the user needing to manually delete each instance of the placeholder.

And it'd also be handy to have a way of selecting which placeholders to clear when on "private" mode.

So if a user has multiple workspaces, and they want one of them to be private, instead of having to overwrite all of the configurable strings that have sensitive information, they can just set the privacy mode to enabled on that workspace's settings.

You could achieve a similar result by changing the placeholders in the workspace settings and copypasting that to other workspaces where you need privacy.

I keep all my super secret projects, which I'd like to exclude, in separate directory. Would it be possible to add some kind of exclude path (preferably with regex or just match all subdirectories in it), so that every opened workspace which is in it won't be used for presence?

I know that I can do it per workspace, but I'll probably forget about it at some point, which would be very undesirable.

Maybe you could do it the other way around - have the default settings set to not show sensitive info, and on public projects you override it to show everything.
That way, if you forget to set per-project settings, you'll not be sharing sensitive info.

Not a "good" workaround, but it might help for the time being.

I second a disable switch. My current workarround is to disable the discord status option.

I think my request fits in here aswell, i'd like to have a possibility to have it automatically set to privacy mode when there is no workspace loaded
