Is there any way to prevent a skin from showing up on the Rainmeter explorer?

My issue is that both of them show up in the Explorer (is it called that? I don't know )

I'd rather only Jill's Room MAIN show up, if it's at all possible. I've tried changing it to an .inc instead of a .ini, but when I tried activating Jill's Room Config it wouldn't show up. Should I put them in separate folders? Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance! And I'm sorry for my code lmao

Hi! Apologies if this post is unintelligible, I'm not sure how to word this at all.

You did word it well, I (we) understood.

My issue is that both of them show up in the Explorer (is it called that? I don't know )

I'd rather only Jill's Room MAIN show up, if it's at all possible.

This way it's not possible. You can't tell Rainmeter to see only one of the existing .ini files. But see below as well.

I've tried changing it to an .inc instead of a .ini, but when I tried activating Jill's Room Config it wouldn't show up.

Normally. .ini files store the skins. These are visible in Rainmeter (unless they are in the @Resources folder, in which case these are not shown up either). .inc files are used to store some codes (in many cases variables, like here as well for instance, in the @Resources\Settings.inc file) and they not being stand-alone skins files, they are not listed into the list of skins. Accordingly you can't activate a such file.

Should I put them in separate folders? Is this even possible?

This is perfectly possible, if it's a good solution for your needs. To do this you have to:

• Create a folder in the root of your config. Let's name it Jill's Config (long story short, create the va-ll ha11-a\Jill's Config folder). Obviously you can name as you want, this is just an example.
• Move the Jill's Room Config.ini file from its original location (the Jill's Room folder), to this newly created folder.
• But this is not enough. Since the moved Jill's Room Config.ini skin includes the Jill's Room\'Jill's Room MAIN.ini file, you have to modify one option in the code of the Jill's Room Config.ini file. Replace the @Include2 = 'Jill's Room MAIN.ini option in the [Variables] section with this: @Include2 = ..\Jill's Room\'Jill's Room MAIN.ini. This way you told the skin to use the 'Jill's Room MAIN.ini file, which is placed one level above the current skin (set by the ..), then into the Jill's Room folder.
• After doing all this, make sure you don1t forget to refresh all, otherwise Rainmeter doesn't see the moved skin (right click the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area and click Refresh all).

This is all. Now you have the skins into distinct folders and you can activate any of them, or even both at a time.

Thank you so much for the swift and comprehensive reply! The solution you proposed seems good for what I'm trying to do. I appreciate the explanation on .inc files, too!
